For sale is a VC200L is great condition with plenty of extras availble if required.

This scope is 200mm F9 and, for those who do not know it, is a scope optimised for imaging with a very flat field hence its reputation as the poor man's RC. It also has an open tube which means you do not have problems with dew and a fixed mirror so there is no flop. A review can be found here:

My scope is about 2 years old and has been very well looked after and comes with the original packaging and manuals. It have a Vixen dovetail bar and will include a 50mm finder, flip mirror and 10mm and 20mm 1.25"eps.

Price is $1200 based on a pickup in Sydney.

Options available by negotioation are:

ADM rail and rings for top mounting a scope of up to 80mm.
Mercury Fine focus (5:1) system.
Vixen F6.3 Focal reducer
Vixen Direct wide photo adapter and Canon T-ring
Vixen M60 to M43 adapter
Vixen 200mm Light baffle.

I have attached a few images both of the scope setup and recent shots taken through it...

You should never rush into anything Mike, you just never know :thumbsup:
To be honest, I was trying to transfer funds as a deposit on a new one from AO when the banks website timed out so I came here and saw it. :whistle: Devine intervention maybe :lol:

:) Nice OTA sold here, I have the same :).

Where do these rings and rail come from?

:eyepop:I have been hunting for a way of fixing my ED80 to the top of my VC200L using a dovetail!

Regards,
Dave.

Dave...the rings and rail come from ADM systems - it is called the MDS system, though designed for Meade scopes the rail for the 11" (iirc) has slots the right spacing for the VC200L. Have a look here:
