Stumbled across this video, and makes an enjoyable watch:

Is Vixen still in business?
I can't get the new eyepieces any more but the company I dealt with in Queensland was bought out by someone in Sydney and I don't know if they are still going. They couldn't get the vixen eyepieces last time I spoke to them a few (probably several) years back. I can't even remember their name.
I do love Vixen gear though, it's always been high quality.
Oh, I can't watch the video, yutub don't like my add blocker and lock me out. I can normally open the link in a new private window but this link won't work for me in there, probably something I'm doing wrong.

Thank you sir!
I'd been told they were no longer producing vixen gear some years back when I tried to extend my Vixen eyepiece range BUT, I could have misunderstood the gentleman in the Queensland astronomy shop, they may have ceased production on the eyepieces I wanted or the company was no longer bringing them in.
I've always wanted the Vixen R200SS and recommended it to my former doctor some years back when he asked my opinion. I can't afford one but one day......


WOW, that's a deep rabbit hole and I think I need deeper pockets.
Dreams are free (I hope).
