FOR SALE – Rare Vixen VMC260L – Catadioptric Cassegrain - Astrograph
My rare and hard to find and in near mint condition Astrograph and now can only be purchased by special order with Vixen in Japan with a 3 to 4 month turnaround? I think.
$4,250……….Would prefer pick up but i am willing to travel within 100K of Brisbane for pick up if this helps.
Shipping costs with or without insurance will be yours.
From my first image I knew that this scope was going to be a lot of fun for imaging and visual. So far it has not disappointed me at all. The Vixen VMC260L has very good thermal stability, is very light to handle and produces pin sharp images.
Great for planetary and DSO.
A quick summary of the key points for the Vixen VMC260L;
- Provides a clean flat field. EXCELLENT
- Design holds collimation very well EXCELLENT
- Mechanical fit and form EXCELLENT
- Focuser smoothness EXCELLENT
- Cool down time and thermal stability EXCELLENT
- Optical performance EXCELLENT
If your primary goal is imaging, this OTA is a very good optical step above the SCT/RCT and approaches the more expensive astrographs in quality.
