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.
