Vixen R200SS Reflector OTA

Item# VIX064

 

The remarkably fast 200 mm (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.

The R200SSDG comes standard with the 7 x 50 finder, 232 mm tube rings, dovetail tube plate and new focus design with more distance for photographic equipment, as well as being compatible with the new Sphinx mount. The 7 x 50 achromatic finder has a field-of-view of 6.8" and a Kellner type eyepiece.
