VI58291 Vixen VMC 200L - 200 / 1950mm - Tube with optics
An interesting universal alternative to the Schmidt Cassegrains with some advantages - also ideal for astrophotography
Figure VMC 200 with optional viewfinder, optional flip mirror and optional eyepieces
VI58291 Vixen VMC 200L 200 / 1950mm tube with optics
This compact Field Maksutov system is an answer to all SC devices, as it improves the optical properties and overall design. The meniscus corrector sits e.g. directly in front of the secondary mirror. Therefore, our Field-Maksutov can do without a correction plate at the telescope opening, which is always very quickly covered by dew in light air humidity.
Key Benefits of the VMC 200:- no dew vulnerability as with systems with front plate corrector
- faster cooling ... the open system cools much faster than a closed system
- No adjustment of the main mirror - nevertheless optimal focus position the "Shifting" does not occur with the VMC.
The versatile application:- Astronomical observation ... The VMC can be equipped with 1.25 "and 2" eyepieces.
- Astrophotography - Moon / Planets ... The VMC is a powerful device for the photography of the moon and planets. The clean-running extension allows precise focusing.
- Astrophotography - Deep Sky ... Vixen offers a very good image field flattening and focal length reduction for the VMC. The image field is very sharp and well lit. With the new TS OAG 9 you can even, while maintaining the optimal distances of the image field flattening, photograph with the telescope and track. A heavy expensive Leitfernrohr deleted (see information below).
