For both planetary and deep sky observing and photographic applications.
Vixen's original Catadioptric design, consisting of two high reflectivity dielectric mirrors and a unique double menisus lens unit in front of the seconday mirror, virtually eliminates both spherical aberration and field curvature excellently and delivers high quality of images. With the large 260mm aperture, the VMC260L is a true all purpose telescope in your observing sessions.
