Vixen NA140ssf

This is an excellent example of the current model of this rare Neoachromatic Petzval 140mm refractor made by Vixen.

Rather than describe its features the following link is provided:

http://www.vixenoptics.com/refractors/neo140.html (http://www.vixenoptics.com/refractors/neo140.html)

This is a dual-speed focuser model that also comes with various Vixen accessories such as carry handle, flip mirror, Vixen bar, mounting boot.

OTA alone fitted with the dual speed focuser currently retails for $2,200 at Astro Optics in Sydney (authorised Australian Vixen dealer)

Only reason for sale is due to financial problems otherwise I would not be parting with this superb refractor.

Asking $1,400 Pick-up welcome or will ship at buyers expense

Please send PM only if interested

Thank you for looking at this listing

yes im interested but am wondering about shipping cost too 6280 wa .ps does it come with 2inch focuser or 1.25 cheers :)

Neither - Vixen standard (and theirs exclusively) is 60mm - you need an adapter to use 2" or 1.25" diagonals - and Richard's scope shown above does already have this adapter.

I would seriously consider it, but I am more seriously considering an AP mount right now :)

But as a general clarification for everyone the OTA features a focuser which can take any 2' diagonal/accessory etc via the 2' adapter.

The Vixen flip mirror is something peculiar to Vixen only which features a 2' coupling to the OTA but thereafter 1.25' barrels for EPs etc. These barrels can however be removed for AP etc purposes and Vixen has now subsequently made a special 2' adapter which can be attached to the flip-mirror and thus allows use of 2' EPs on the flip-mirror 'or' you can simply put in a 2' diagonal instead on the flip-mirror.

For those who may be interested picture with 2' diagonal placed in focuser instead of Vixen flip mirror - diagonal fits straight in and nothing special about it.

I would also take this opportunity to comment that the quality of the flip-mirror mirror is extremely good and I can't perceive any optical quality difference between the Vixen Flip mirror and the diagonal

Please note however diagonal is not included in sale

I have obtained some rough shipping estimates via Smartsend couriers using a 6-8 delivery time - In its original double boxes shipping of the telescope will be around $80 or less dependent on your location in Aust.

Pick-up welcome or buyer to pay PPH for shipping anywhere in Oz


With the AUD rapidly going south the price of these refractors new are going up and this now represents half the price of one brand new and doesn't even take into account the various genuine Vixen accessories.
