Vixen - A80SS 80mm Achromatic Refractor Telescope Package

with GP2 Mount

If you are in the mind to own a quality telescope that is designed for travel, there is nothing
better than the A80SS. It’s our newest short focal length 80mm refractor. This is a great
cross-over astronomical and terrestrial scope.

The A80SS is extremely portable. It is small enough to be mounted on a photo tripod for the
casual astronomical / terrestrial observer with enough aperture for excellent deep sky viewing.
The optical tube comes standard with our red dot finder, 2” focuser, flip mirror diagonal and
dovetail tube plate for quick and easy mounting.

At less than 11” with dew shield flipped, the Vixen A80SS is the ultimate grab-n-go travel scope!
