The VC200 is probably photographically better than the VMC200 if you are into happy snaps.
The 260 "big-cat" looks good if you have the cash.
The current model focuses through the primary mirror, I'm hoping they will lock it down like the 200 in a future model.

Its a bit hard to understand the differences between the VMC and the VC. Vixen don't explain it too well. The VC is a lot more expensive than the VMC yet the bigger models are only VMC.
Focusing through the primary mirror is risky. But an add-on focuser would handle that.

Hi Frank,
It is a 2nd hand scope I think it may have been made by an amateur. It
works with a Parracor which don't cover large chips so it may require some fiddling around to fit a Feathertouch focuser and Wynne corrector.
Not sure how easy or hard that would be. It has a carbond fibre tube though.
Greg.
