A set featuring a top-of-the-line AXD2WL equatorial mount and a large-aperture VMC260L catadioptric optical tube.

The set includes a VMC260L (WT) optical tube incorporating Vixen’s original optical design —compact yet offering a large 260 mm aperture—and a high-end AXJWL equatorial mount, whose performance nearly rivals that of the AXD2WL. With its large aperture, excellent light-gathering power, and resolving capability, the VMC260L is ideal for observing faint stars at high magnifications. Perfect for serious mobile astronomy and astrophotography.
