Vixen R200SS 200mm Telescope
The Vixen R200SS 200mm
telescope with Star Book and GP2 mount is quite a precision piece of
stargazing work. Truly an exemplar of fine craftsmanship, this Vixen model
comes jam-packed with features that make tracking more than 22,000 supplied
sky objects (with the Star Book controller unit) a real breeze. This model
is no toy and it isn't cheap, either, at around 2400 dollars, discounted.
As a telescope that is also designed to accommodate astrophotography (you
can shoot photos of the objects that are shown via use of the model's very
wide aperture), it's hard to find a model more suited to star gazing (and
nebula or cluster viewing) than the Vixen R200SS 200mm telescope. It gives
up wide views of many deep sky objects with relative ease, as a matter of
fact.
Additionally, the Vixen presents everything that's seen (including comets
and those star clusters) with no chromatic aberration, meaning that there
won't be any blurring or fuzziness around the edges. This is due to the
extreme sharpness of the images available from state-of-the-art lens
coatings on the unit's primary mirror. Indeed, this telescope is one hundred
percent business at all times.
The GP2 equatorial mount, supplied with the Vixen R200SS 200mm telescope as
a standard item, includes a quality tripod with counterweight. It's also
micro-adjustable and makes it very easy to carry out super accurate tracking
of objects. Generally motion is done through use of control knobs, though
dual axis motors can be had as an option. Standard rack-and-pinion control
is excellent, though.
The Vixen R200SS 200mm telescope with Star Book and GP2 mount is for the
serious amateur astronomy person. Everything about it bespeaks high quality
and seriousness of purpose. It can track objects with ease and it also makes
keeping track of such objects a joy rather than a chore. When it comes to
looking for all manner of deep sky objects it's hard to go wrong with this
telescope.
