Vixen VMC 200L 8"

Excellent condition; there is one tiny paint scratch [pictured].

203mm/8” Catadioptric Optical System [Modified Cassegrain]
f/9.8
Focal length: 1950mm
Lightweight: 13 pounds
Carrying handle
Built-in rack and pinion focuser [shown fully extended in one image]
2" to 1.25" compression reducer [so you can use either a 2" or 1.25" diagonal]
Enough aperture/focal length to pull in loads of targets; rated limiting stellar magnitude of 13.3. Light enough to run on a moderately sized mount, and to transport and set up easily, especially with the attached carrying handle. Fast cool down and vastly reduced dew issues as the corrector is placed just before the secondary mirror, so there is no corrector plate closing off the tube and holding heat in the OTA, or being an attractor for water vapor.
