The VC200L OTA excels in prime-focus astrophotography, delivering exceptionally sharp, pinpoint star images with minimal distortion across the field of view.
Paired with the SXP2WL equatorial mount — the flagship model of the SX series, offering high-precision tracking and other advanced features that can be easily controlled via a smartphone app — you can enjoy high-level astronomical observation.
VISAC stands for Vixen Sixth-order Aspherical Catadioptric, an original Vixen catadioptric optical tube that, as the name suggests, uses a 6th-order aspherical primary mirror. It features a three-element field corrector lens within the baffle tube, which effectively corrects coma, spherical aberration, and field curvature across the entire field of view, achieving 15 μm star images even at the edge of the photographic field. With an optional "Reducer HD" (sold separately), it delivers exceptional performance for deep-sky imaging of celestial objects, such as diffuse nebulae, as well as for prime-focus photography of extragalactic targets.
