Vixen SX Polar Axis Scope for Vixen Sphinx Mount 2573

by @ 11:06 am. Filed under Telescope Accessories

Item No. 705-02517
Manuf. No. Vixen 2573

Are your ready to step up to +/-15 arc second accuracy to the celestial pole with your Vixen Sphinx mount? Then why waste time with guesswork alignment when you could be using a Vixen SX Polar Axis Finder! It’s generous 6X20mm field allows for very precise measurements at all latitudes from 70 degree north to 70 degree south. Thanks to the unique bubble level design, the Sphinx mount doesn’t even have to be level to use the Vixen SX Polar Finder! Simply thread it into place and the illuminator incorporated into the Sphinx mount will light up the reticule pattern.

Set the reticule to the time and date by rotating the dials, look into the finder, adjust to your eyesight and align the stars by using your mount’s alt-az controls. It’s just that easy and it’s accurate enough for long exposure astrophotography until the year 2025!

Vixen Modified Cassegrain OTA VMC260L10.2″ f/11.5 5831

by @ 10:59 am. Filed under Telescopes

Item No. 605-14003
Manuf. No. Vixen 5831

The Vixen VMC260L is a portable 10.23″ modified Cassegrain that is only 20″ long and weighs just 22 lbs. The VMC260L has no corrector plate to collect dew, and the meniscus lens offers a large corrected field. It is great for astro-imaging. This model of the VMC260L comes with a Vixen Atlux-style mounting rail, but no other accessories. Like the popular Schmidt-Cassegrain, the Vixen VMC260L is a true all purpose telescope. Despite its long focal length, the tube is only about 50cm (20″) long. As a result the instrument is very portable.

With its large aperture of 260mm the Vixen VMC200L collects enough light for serious visual and photographical applications of both the planets and the deep sky.
