Catalog description

Vixen VMC200L Catadioptric Telescope with Porta II Mount, part number VIX274, is a discontinued product from the 2007–2011 catalog. It was last listed at $1299.00.

The VMC200L mounted on the new Porta II Mount starts your observing sessions faster and takes you farther into the universe. 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. With the optical correction placed before the secondary mirror the VMC200L avoids the necessity of having a corrector plate and all the dewing problems associated with a closed optical tube.
