Vixen - Computerized (GOTO) Telescopes

A80Mf 80mm Achromatic Refractor Telescopes

If you are looking to start out with something a little larger than a beginner scope or need a better finder
scope for your large telescope, the A80Mf is the one to buy. Although it is just 10mm larger than its smaller
cousin the A70Lf, this extra aperture will reveal more detail in solar system objects and the deep sky alike.

I find myself using the 80mm size for terrestrial viewing of ships on the ocean or whale watching. With an
optional sun projection accessory I have viewed sun spots projected onto a white surface. (Of course NEVER
look at the sun directly). The A80MfLf, although inexpensive is not a toy telescope. It has the same quality
glass and exacting workmanship that goes into our much larger instruments.

ED103S 103mm ED Apochromatic Refractor Telescopes

The newly designed high definition ED lens on the ED103S gives excellent optical performance with a short
optical tube for easy handling. The new ED lenses feature brighter images from the shorter f/7.7 focal ratio
and capture crisp, pinpoint star images for your eye's enjoyment. The new ED103S lenses are made with
environment-friendly technologies, free of hazardous lead that helps to support a cleaner global environment.

The optical tube comes equipped with a metal carry handle for easy one-hand carrying. The new lenses focus
the full visible spectrum of visible light to a critical point much more accurately than past ED product. The
ED103S lenses are almost free of chromatic aberration in all colors and are critically sharp edge to edge. The
astro-photographer will be especially pleased with the high contrast images through this telescope.

NeoAchro 140

Weighing in at 14.3 lbs this 5.5 inch Vixen telescope is an incredible performer. Deep Sky objects are easily visible and Astro-Imagers looking for a fast instrument with clear aperture will be impressed with the NA140's performance. The advanced 4-element objective lens, set in two groups, minimizes residual chromatic aberrations. With its unique Petzval like correcting lens at the rear, this Neo-Achromatic telescope is specifically designed to provide improved color and a flat field, ideal for astrophotography.

R130Sf 130mm Newtonian Reflector Telescopes

This lightweight 5" reflector is a favorite of many new astronomers because it features remarkable light
gathering with sharp images for its price and size. With a standard 20mm Plőssl more than the entire moon
fills the eyepiece. You'll view innumerable star clusters and dark clouds, not to mention nebulas and
galaxies.

Add a 32mm and the heavens open up with a remarkable 2.5 degree field of view! All of the stars in the
Pleiades can be viewed at the same time. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects. Actual
groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument.  The R130Sf comes standard
with the 6 x30 finder and dovetail tube plate that fits very well on all the Vixen mounts.

This is a scope you can start with on a basic user-friendly Porta Mount and later move up to one of our
electronic mounts such as the Skypod or Sphinx. 

R200SS 200mm Newtonian Reflector Telescopes

The remarkably fast 200mm (8") f/4 parabolic primary mirror of the R200SS Newtonian reflector gives extremely
sharp images with no chromatic aberration. The use of state-of-the-art coating technology yields the ideal
surface for its f/4 primary mirror. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects. Actual
groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument.

The telescope's large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star
clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from edge to
edge, and the rack and pinion focusing mount, with an adapter, accepts 2 eyepieces.

VMC200L 200mm Catadioptrical Reflector Telescopes

The VMC200L is a unique catadioptric optical system. It incorporates a primary mirror and a meniscus corrector
just before a secondary mirror. By doing so, light is corrected twice on the optical path.
 
The end result is that spherical aberration and field curvature are corrected to a high degree of optical
performance. The VMC200L's primary mirror is f/2.5; the compound optical system is f/9.75. This makes the
system much more compact and portable than its competition.
