Vixen - VC200L 200mm Catadioptrical Reflector Telescope

with Sphinx Mount

The VC 200L is an 8" f/9.0 highly corrected, highly specialized telescope for astro imaging. With its elaborate aspherical optical
design it achieves an excellent image correction throughout the large illuminated field. (42mm diameter fully illuminated)

The VC200L is designed around Astro Imaging. Even at the edge of the 35mm film format (larger CCD chips) stars are sharp (
smaller than 15 micrometers This is smaller than the resolution of fine quality CCD cameras, which means that the telescope does
not limit the image quality.

With the f/6.4 reducer you get much shorter exposure times. The reducer is a highly recommended optional accessory.

The basic configuration already contains a piggy-back camera holder. You can then take photos both through the telescope and
using a telephoto lens parallel to the main instrument or you can use the VC200L for guiding while the camera sits on top.
