Vixen - VMC200L 200mm Catadioptrical Reflector Telescope with Sphinx Mount

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.
