Vixen - PortaMount with Tripod & 70mm Achromat Refractor (A70Lf)

For so many years the beginning astronomer was forced to buy a mount that was unstable and almost
useless when viewing at high power. More often than not, the frustration of using an unstable
mount resulted in the telescope only being used for one night and being left in a closet to
collect dust. The Porta mount changes all that. It is one of our proudest designs. The
combination of smooth movement, rigid design and stable platform makes your first use a pleasure
and will bring you back to view more and more of the night sky.

The PORTA comes equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both
directions. It is useful for fine motion used in searching and tracking of celestial objects. In
addition it is a great mount for terrestrial viewing. Our gear drives it make it a simple matter
to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by simply turning the elevation and or
azimuth control handles. The “World-Standard” dovetail attachment system on PORTA was developed
by Vixen. This allows the PORTA to accept various dovetail mounted optical tubes and binoculars.
