Featuring Vixen’s renowned VISAC (Vixen Sixth-Order Aspheric Cassegrain) optics, the VC200L offers an 8-inch (200 mm) aperture and 1800 mm focal length, delivering exceptionally flat, true-color images with no spherical aberration, coma, or field curvature. A built-in three-element field corrector ensures edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire camera sensor, making it ideal for deep-sky astrophotography of galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Despite its high performance, the scope also excels in visual observation, producing crisp, high-contrast views of lunar and planetary details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"832\" data-end=\"1541\"\u003eThe robust SXP2 GoTo mount forms the backbone of this system, offering smooth, precise tracking via a belt-drive mechanism that eliminates backlash and significantly reduces noise. It supports a photographic payload of up to 17 kg without requiring a counterweight, and its 16 internal bearings—including tapered roller bearings on the RA axis—ensure outstanding stability and precision. The included STAR BOOK TEN controller boasts a high-resolution color display, an integrated star chart, and a database of over 272,000 celestial objects. Features like backlash compensation, P-PEC (Permanent Periodic Error Correction), and an ST4 autoguider port make the system a powerful tool for long-exposure imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"2058\"\u003eQuick and accurate polar alignment is possible with the PFL-II illuminated polar finder, which supports alignment using reference stars and achieves accuracy within 3 arc minutes. The retractable stainless steel counterweight bar, compact motor mount design, and modular mounting head enhance portability and setup convenience. The VC200L with SXP2 mount is a complete astrophotography platform that combines optical precision with advanced tracking technology—perfect for capturing stunning images of the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45643721081073,"sku":"ES25136-SO","price":8415.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5711\/6312\/files\/SXP2_VC200L_2.jpg?v=1736429359","url":"https:\/\/villohome.com\/products\/vixen-sxp2-vc200l-s-pfl-telescope-set","provider":"Villohome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
