Vixen vc200l

Outstanding pinpoint star images without coma and without field curvature, outstanding performance in astrophotography.

Vixen's unique catadioptric system consisting of a high precision sixth-order aspherical (VISAC) primary mirror, a convex secondary mirror and a triplet corrector lens, provides high definition star images to the edge of a wide imaging field and offers exceptionally outstanding performance in astrophotography. As coma aberration, spherical aberration and curvature of field are perfectly corrected, images captured with the VC200L are stunningly sharp. Star images are less than 15 microns across all the way to the very edge of the 42mm image circle. The VISAC mirror produces images of high quality that are perfect for both visual observation and astrophotography. An optional VC reducer which produces fast F6.4 forcal ratio is best for imaging of deep sky objects.
