DESCRIPTION

Discover Celestial Marvels with the Vixen VC200L Catadioptric Telescope (Optical Tube Assembly only)

At the heart of the VC200L lies its unique catadioptric system, featuring a high-precision sixth-order aspherical (VISAC) primary mirror, a convex secondary mirror, and a triplet corrector lens. This sophisticated optical design delivers high-definition star images to the edge of a wide imaging field, ensuring exceptional performance in both visual observation and astrophotography.

Experience outstanding pinpoint star images without coma and field curvature, thanks to the precise correction of coma aberration, spherical aberration, and curvature of field. Every image captured with the VC200L is stunningly sharp, with star images measuring less than 15 microns across the entire 42mm image circle.

For astrophotography enthusiasts, the VC200L offers incredible versatility, especially when paired with the optional VC reducer (included in the Vixen SD Reducer HD Kit). This accessory reduces the focal length from 1800mm to 1386mm (0.77×) and improves the focal ratio from f/6.9 to f/6.4, making it perfect for imaging deep sky objects with exceptional clarity and detail. The reducer also expands the image circle to Φ36mm, which accommodates the imaging field of DSLR cameras with APS-C sensors. Additionally, the VC200L's built-in flattener lens ensures sharp images across the 36mm image circle, making it suitable for both APS-C and full-frame sensors up to 44mm, allowing for impressive, detailed captures of deep sky objects.
