Vixen Optics VMC200L 200mm f/9.8 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope

Introducing the Vixen VMC200L 200mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope — a compact and advanced solution designed to enhance your astronomical experience.

This innovative Field Maksutov-Cassegrain system comes with improved design and optical properties, effectively addressing the limitations of SC devices.

The Meniscus corrector, positioned right in front of the secondary mirror, eliminates the need for a dew-prone correction plate on the telescope aperture that often succumbs to moisture in humid conditions.

With its extended focal length, the telescope empowers you to engage in intricate exploration of celestial wonders including planets, distant galaxies, lunar craters, majestic mountains, and an array of other cosmic entities.

Additionally, the telescope's open system design facilitates rapid cooling of its optics, guaranteeing swift readiness for your observation sessions.

 


Features:

  • 200mm Objective Lens: The telescope's 200mm objective lens boasts a substantial aperture, allowing it to gather a significant amount of light from celestial objects. This results in exceptionally vivid and detailed observations, making it ideal for exploring planets, stars, galaxies, and various cosmic phenomena.
  • 393x Highest Useful Magnification: With a highest useful magnification of 393x, this telescope offers impressive magnifying power for detailed and precise observations. Astronomers can explore celestial targets up close, revealing intricate details on the surfaces of planets and other astronomical bodies.
  • 1950mm Focal Length: The telescope's long 1950mm focal length and f/9.8 aperture ratio provide a perfect balance between magnification and light gathering. This configuration ensures impressive clarity and resolution during observations, capturing finer details of distant objects.
  • Maksutov-Cassegrain Optical Design: The Maksutov-Cassegrain optical design offers an innovative field system with improved design and optical properties. This design effectively addresses the limitations of Schmidt-Cassegrain devices, providing astronomers with advanced solutions for enhanced astronomical experiences.
  • Built-in Correction Lens: The inclusion of a built-in correction lens within the optical path is pivotal for minimizing visual distortions and aberrations. This feature ensures that the light passing through the telescope is corrected, resulting in exceptionally sharp and distortion-free images during observations.
  • Multi-coated Optics: The telescope's multi-coated optics involve multiple layers of anti-reflective coatings applied to the lens surfaces. This advanced coating technology reduces reflections, improves light transmission, and enhances contrast. The result is higher quality and more detailed observations with better color rendition and reduced glare.
  • Short Design, Lightweight Housing, and Open Lens Barrel: The telescope's compact and short design, coupled with a lightweight housing, enhances portability and ease of setup. This is particularly advantageous for astronomers who need to transport their equipment to different observation sites. The open lens barrel design facilitates rapid cooling of the optics, reducing the time required for the telescope to acclimate to the surrounding temperature.
  • Included Accessories: This bundle encompasses a practical carry handle, a collapsible mirror, a finder scope, dependable tube clamps, and a versatile dovetail adapter, ensuring compatibility for a comprehensive and convenient stargazing experience. Benefit from added assurance with the included limited 1-2 year warranty.
