Vixen - R200SS 200mm Newtonian Reflector Telescope with GP2 Mount

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.

GP2 Mounts



The GP2 equatorial mount comes standard with tripod and counterweight. It is
easy to use and functions well for both the visual observer and
astrophotography. The declination and right-ascension functions with 144-tooth
aluminum worm gears allowing accurate tracking. Motion is controlled by
included control knobs for accurate slewing.

The polar altitude adjustment varies from 0° to 62° in altitude.
Optional single axis or dual axis motors and controllers are available as is a
polar alignment telescope and setting circles.
