Hi I was wanting to know opinions about the Vixen VMC110L-AZGT

Was looking at a second hand Meade etc105 but then gig directed to this Vixen scope - thanks for any comments chris

I don't know about the mount, but the scope is a little gem.
Ive got one piggybacked with my VMC200, and it performs better than its diminutive size would suggest.
Beautiful wide-field views, and the curved spider means no diffraction lines.

I am with Rider. I purchased the VMC95 with a porta mount when I was in Alaska. I purchased it to use as a port scope when moving around and to look at the skies whilst I was in Alaska.. I now have it piggy backed on my LX200 and also use it as a guide scope. I did have a little trouble with collimation when I first got it, but that is sorted and I love this little scope. The 95 is just a smaller ver of the 110 but has all the same features and I find it performs very very well. The optics are great and images are clear all to the edge.. As their is no reflector plate on the fround I have no trouble with Dew forming and Dew heaters are not required... Good Quality and great value for money.. Also have a support dealer in Australia...

I would purchase another Vixen VMC series sope again without question..

I use the 95VMC as a guide scope. It is a lovely little scope and very well made. Everything seems quite rigid and I don't get any flexure.
It has a very smooth focuser. It makes a fabulous guide scope.
Its light and small and longish focal length around 1 metre.

I've lusted after one of these for a couple of years now. If I had the disposable income for it, I'd buy one tomorrow.
