Exceptionally Sharp Star Images with No Coma or Field Curvature — Ideal for Astrophotography

The Vixen VC200L offers outstanding performance for astrophotography, delivering pinpoint star images free of coma, spherical aberration, and field curvature — even at the edges of the image.

At the heart of this telescope is Vixen's unique catadioptric optical system, known as VISAC (Vixen Sixth-order Aspheric Cassegrain). It features a high-precision sixth-order aspherical primary mirror, a convex secondary mirror, and a triplet corrector lens. This advanced design ensures sharp, high-definition star images across a wide 42mm image circle, making it ideal for both visual observing and deep-sky imaging.

Thanks to the superior optical correction, stars remain less than 15 microns in size from center to edge — producing images that are crisp and clean across the entire field.

For those looking to capture faint deep-sky objects, an optional focal reducer is available, converting the system to a fast f/6.4 focal ratio for even better imaging performance.

The Vixen Optics T-Ring Adapter for Sony Alpha Cameras is meant for use with their various methods of mounting SLR cameras to the rear of their telescopes, but obviously they can be used for anyone who has a T-mount system lens and wants to mate it to their SLR camera without any real trouble. Many, if not most, of the inexpensive T-mounts will get stuck to the camera or lose adhesion to the lens;

With the Vixen Optics models, the superior workmanship really limits the incidence of these kind of annoyances. The T-mount lens and T-mount combination will only work on the camera with the camera in the "M" manual exposure mode. Additionally, the most advanced metering modes usually don't work with the T-mount.

Pillar leg An enhanced version of the SXG-P85 pillar leg. By changing the design of the support leg part, it is easier to assemble and the strength is improved. Since it has one leg, there are fewer blind spots when pointing the lens barrel mounted on an equatorial mount in any direction compared to a tripod. Since the installation radius can be smaller than that of a tripod of the same size, it can be installed even in a relatively narrow space.

This set of two 232mm Vixen Tube Rings securely clamps onto your optical tube assembly (OTA), providing a stable mounting point for your dovetail plate.

Each ring’s inside diameter matches the outside diameter of your OTA. The clamping design allows you to position the rings anywhere along the tube’s length to achieve proper balance or rotate the tube to avoid interference with other equipment. Inside, the rings are lined with a slip-resistant, non-marking material that firmly holds the OTA without causing any damage.

The bottom of each ring features an M6 threaded mounting hole for attaching an optional  VX2661 dovetail tube plate, allowing you to mount your OTA to the mount head. The top has another M6 threaded hole to accept the  VX3548 accessory plate, making it easy to mount a camera for wide-field astrophotography or an autoguiding guide scope.

he Vixon Optics Polarie Ball Head is an ideal way to enhance your Polarie tripod. This Vixen Optics Tripod Head is made using incredibly durable materials that are guaranteed to be long lasting and efficient. The Vixen Optics Polarie Tripod QHD-33 Velbon Ball Head is an amazing addition to the Vixen range of high quality Telescope Equipment.

vixen Perfect for accurate polar alignment of the POLARIE U.
This sturdy panhead is designed to mount the POLARIE U onto a standard camera tripod. For precise polar alignment—especially when using the PF-LII polar alignment scope—you need to fine-tune the position of the POLARIE U. The Polar Fine Adjustment Unit DX makes this easy by allowing small, controlled movements in both vertical (up/down) and horizontal (side-to-side) directions.

Quick-release clamp is provided on the head of the unit.

The quick-release clamp is on the top of the polar fine adjustment unit DX. It is designed to securely hold a quick release angle plate or attachment plate of the thin standard type. Attaching or removing the plate is convenient as you simply turn a single handle.

An optional dovetail-plate mounting block is available for a versatile use.

As the two M8 thread holes placed at an interval of 35mm is provided on the head, the quick-release clamp can be exchanged for the dovetail-plate mounting block sold separately. It allows for mounting a Vixen optical tube such as an FL55SS.

Attachable to a variety of tripods from a 1/4" or 3/8" camera tripod to a tripod for telescopes.

The Polar Fine Adjustment Unit DX comes with a detachable tripod adapter plate on its bottom. This adapter is compatible with both 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads, making it easy to attach to most standard camera tripods. Additionally, you can swap the included adapter with another type (also supplied) to mount the unit onto Vixen tripod heads designed for astronomical telescopes.

Wide adjustable ranges: Altitude angles from -30 degrees to 90 degrees, 360 degrees in azimuth

The mounted camera can be tilted freely from 0 degrees (horizontal) to 90 degrees (vertical) by loosening the altitude clamp lever. For precise positioning, fine adjustments of up to ±7.5 degrees are available. The panhead can also tilt beyond 90 degrees in the opposite direction, allowing the camera to point slightly downward if needed.

Altitude fine adjustment or azimuth fine adjustment is easy with a pair of fine adjustment screws.

Unfastening one side of the adjustment screw will allow fastening the screw on the other side to adjust the direction finely. The adjustment screws can be tightened using an Allen wrench to hold the POLARIE U and a camera tightly.

It is designed to mount a spotting scope or large binocular on the PORTA II and PORTA altazimuth mount (Max. loading capacity 4.5kg). A spotting scope and XY red dot finder II can be also mounted in series. It is also possible to mount on a photographic tripod. Mounting on the Mini PORTA altazimuth mount is not possible.

"Nightscape photograph" is a photograph of stars and scenery together, such as the Milky Way and Mountains spreading in the sky, or constellations and buildings. Unlike 'Astrophotography' which enlarges one point of a starry sky, it is important to mainly use a wide-angle lens in "nightscape photograph", how to combine stars and scenery. The possibility of the composition is infinite, it is a landscape photograph of a new generation that anyone can enjoy easily.

POLARIE Star Tracker is a motor driven camera platform that moves according to the movement of stars. By shooting with camera on the POLARIE and on a tripod, it becomes possible to incorporate pin-point stars beautifully into a work of art!

The polar alignment scope is a small telescope that is installed parallel to the R.A. axis of an equatorial mount so that it can match the R.A. axis to be parallel in the direction of diurnal motion of stars.

The polar alignment scope utilizes 3 stars of Polaris, Delta UMi and 51 Cep near the north celestial pole.

You simply match the scale position on the reticle with the designated 3 stars seen in the polar alignment scope in order to locate the north celestial pole.

The patterns of the Big Dipper and Cassiopeia are engraved on the polar alignment reticle for use as a guidepost for the north celestial pole. The polar alignment scope can align the polar axis of the equatorial mount as accurately as 3 arc minutes or less.
