Vixen VC200L

I bought a Vixen VC200L when they first came on the market.I found it to be a fabulous scope for the aperture,when compared to other commercially available scopes in the same price range,ie sct offerings from the large manufacturers and all the commercially available newtonians.Images were super sharp and with much better contrast than any of the sct offerings.With such good contrast I found that I could see all but the smallest and dimmest objects that I could see in my orange tube C11,which gives much better contrast and colour rendition than the later black tube C11s,and has been tested many times visually.The quality of the VC200L is first class,and I have often thought that if they made a larger apperture version,then I might be persuaded to part with some hard earned cash or even my C11 to enjoy what I am sure would be another wonderful adventure.In my opinion,you could do far worse in the class of telescope you are considering and not a lot better,especially for anything near the price.
