Vixen - A70Lf 70mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope Package with Mini PortaMount

The A70Lf, although inexpensive, is not a toy telescope. Many amateurs begin with and enjoy countless hours under the stars with
this instrument It has the same quality glass and exacting workmanship that goes into our much larger instruments.

With this size aperture you will, as I did, be on your way to discovering the craters and mountains on our moon, the rings around
Saturn and the storms on Jupiter. With a star chart you'll find beautiful double stars of varying colors, and on moonless nights,
you will see the Andromeda Galaxy, The Orion Nebula and hundreds of other Deep Sky objects.

Mini PortaMounts



The New Mini-Porta comes equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both
directions, very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects. In addition, this is a great mount for
terrestrial viewing. Vixen's gear drives make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the
horizon by simply turning the elevation and or azimuth control handles. The "World-Standard" dovetail
attachment system on PORTA was developed by Vixen. This allows the PORTA to accept various dovetail mounted
optical tubes and binoculars.
