Vixen VC 200 L dg catadioptic telescope

I am offering my Vixen VC 200 L dg for sale. Price $1000 .
brief spec ;.
Comes with original Vixen flip mirror and standard Vixen dovetail.
It is a 200mm dia f/9, 620mm long catadioptic made by Vixen in Japan. Very similar to a SCT but without a corrector plate. Weight 6Kg.
Focus is achieved with a rack and pinion focuser at the back of the tube. Mirror is fixed so no mirror flop, no need to lock the mirror.
Is was designed for flat field photography but is also good for visual work.
Mirrors are excellent.
I am its second owner and used it for Astro photos using a Canon camera.
Pick up only, scope is in Geelong.

John
