Vixen NA140mm f/5.7 Achromat Petzval Design ( improved colour and flat field ) ...these don't ' show up ' to often...if fact..in the 5 years since I've been on this Site, I've seen 1 only up for grabs.

It's ' BIG ' ...but surprisingly light for it's size .... and my StellarVue M1 holds this VERY steady indeed.....I was apprehensive in the beginning doing this...but ...even with a ' deliberate ' bump, the Scope settled with in a second or so....surprised me ...!!

Being an Achromat, a 2" inch Baader Fringe Killer Filter is a must have for those ' brighter objects ' .......but where this Scope really excels is the Wide Field views it gives at 140mm Aperture.

Mind you...a ' T-Rex ' would be my choice of Mount for this....but that's for another day.....and yes...as per usual ...it's overcast and raining here right now...why am I not surprised ..

Now for the clouds to go away ........
