Vixen - R200SS 200mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope Package

with SXD Mount and AGA1 Auto Guider Adapter

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.

Sphinx-D Mounts

While the outsides might look similar to the standard Sphinx Mount, the changes that have happened under the hood are huge! Incorporating one piece hardened steel RA and DEC shafts with needle bearings throughout, the new Sphinx D can handle a load capacity up to 50 lbs. This now comes standard with PEC and the incredibly accurate SX Polare Finder Scope. Astronomers with larger optical tubes and all level of astrophotographers are sure to feel right at home with the intuitive controls that so many have become accustomed to with the standard Sphinx Mount. Its 4.7″ Color LCD Display gives an exact position against its scrolling star chart, any object is a point and look away! The innovative STAR BOOK hand controller offers astronomical navigation with a large full-color LCD screen! The color screen is a detailed star chart that acts as a navigational and GOTO guide for the mount. Zoom-In/Out buttons for the color star chart display also control the motor speed. As you zoom in closer to an object on the display screen, the motor speed automatically becomes finer and as you zoom out the motor speed increases to cover larger distances. Features and menu options are displayed on the large color screen and are easily navigated with simple buttons on the controller. The STAR BOOK is amazingly easy to use and makes the SPHINX available to a wide range of ages and experience levels.
