Vixen Telescope PORTA II A62SS Description
-
Highly compact and lightweight A62SS optical tube.
A short tube achromatic refractor with retractable dew shield. The overall size can be changed as short as about 30cm in length. The weight of the optical tube is only 1.8kg although it is durably made of metal. Its compact and lightweight optical tube matches well with the AP mount. The telescope comes with two eyepieces of long eye relief that yield magnification of 35x and 130x. The moon, planets and bright Messier objects are enjoyable with this model.
-
Easy-to-use PORTA II Alt-Azimuth Mount.
A stable alt-azimuth mount designed to offer simple and smooth operation. The optical tube can be moved freely by hand and the friction holds its position anywhere you stop it. The slow motion controls allow you to follow your target object accurately. The slow motion handle positions and the amount of friction on the axes can be adjusted with tools located in the compartment under the rubber covering of the mount body.
-
A wide variety of optional accessories.
A wide selection of optional accessories are available for the PORTA II mount to meet your observation needs.
