Vixen R200SS Telescope and GP2 Mount Feature

Vixen 8" f/4 parabolic primary mirror
The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects. Groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this telescope.
The R200Ss' large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets.
The GP2 equatorial mount comes standard with tripod and counterweight
Includes NLV25mm eyepiece, Rings, Dove tail and 7x50 Finder

The remarkably fast 200mm (8") f/4 parabolic primary mirror of the R200SS Newtonian reflector gives extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. The use of state-of-the-art coating technology yields the ideal surface for its f/4 primary mirror. The telescope's large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from edge to edge, and the rack and pinion focusing mount, with an adapter, accepts 2 eyepieces. Vixen's GP2 MOunt is easy to use and functions well for both the visual observer and astrophotography. The declination and right-ascension functions with 144-tooth aluminum worm gears allowing accurate tracking. Motion is controlled by included control knobs for accurate slewing. The polar altitude adjustment varies from 0° to 62° in altitude. Optional single axis or dual axis motors and controllers are available as is a polar alignment telescope and setting circles. Add the new Vixen Starbook S with built in starchart for full Go-To capabilities.
