• Versatile use: ideal for both visual observation and astrophotography, with optional F6.4 reducer for deep sky imaging.

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.
