Vixen - VMC200L 200mm Catadioptrical Reflector Telescope with GPD2 Mount with FREE STAR BOOK Controller

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.

GPD2 Mounts



The GPD2 equatorial mount is the stronger and heftier of the GP mounts. With
it’s solid steel R. A. and Declination axes and brass worm gears this mount
will hold up to years of heavy use. In order to assure accurate tracking for
astrophotography the worm, gears are especially machined to a very high
precision that minimizes periodic error.

The GPD2 holds almost 50% more weight than the GP2 and comes standard with
tripod and counterweight. It is easy to use and functions well for both the
visual observer and astrophotography. Motion is controlled by included
control knobs for accurate slewing. The polar altitude adjustment varies from
0° to 62° in altitude.
