Vixen - Newtonian Reflector Telescopes
R130Sf 130mm Newtonian Reflector Telescopes
This lightweight 5” reflector is a favorite of many new astronomers because it features remarkable light
gathering with sharp images for its price and size. With a standard 20mm Plőssl more than the entire
moon fills the eyepiece. You’ll view innumerable star clusters and dark clouds, not to mention nebulas and
galaxies.
Add a 32mm and the heavens open up with a remarkable 2.5 degree field of view! All of the stars in the
Pleiades can be viewed at the same time. 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 R130Sf comes
standard with the 6 x30 finder and dovetail tube plate that fits very well on all the Vixen mounts.
This is a scope you can start with on a basic user-friendly Porta Mount and later move up to one of our
electronic mounts such as the Skypod or Sphinx.
The remarkably fast 200mm (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.
