Vixen R200SS with Sphinx SXD Mount (Item #55036D) $500 Rebate! Details Here

The remarkably fast 200mm (8") f/4 parabolic primary mirror of the Vixen R200SS Newtonian reflector gives extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. The use of state-of-the-art coating technology yields the ideal surface for its f/4 primary mirror. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects.

The telescope's large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from edge to edge, and the rack and pinion focusing mount, with an adapter, accepts 2 eyepieces. The R200Ss includes Vixen's Dual Speed focuser.

Vixen's Sphinx SXD Mount is designed for ease of use and excellent performance. The SXD features solid steel motors, thrust bearings and smooth RA and DEC motors. With a maximum load weight of 50 lbs, the SXD mount will hold the R200 with ease.
