{"product_id":"vixen-vmc200l-maksutov-cassegrain-telescope","title":"VMC200L Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"102\" data-end=\"776\"\u003eThis compact Field Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope offers a unique optical design that combines long focal length performance with a lightweight, easy-to-handle form factor. With an aperture ratio of f\/9.8 and a focal length of 1950 mm, it delivers detailed, high-contrast views of the moon, planets, and distant deep-sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae. Unlike traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, this model features a Meniskus corrector positioned directly in front of the secondary mirror, eliminating the need for a full-aperture correction plate. This design not only reduces the risk of dew formation in humid conditions but also enhances thermal efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"1377\"\u003eThe telescope's open tube construction allows for rapid cooling of the optics, ensuring it's ready for observing shortly after setup. Its compact build and lightweight housing make it highly portable, while still offering the high magnification potential needed for planetary and lunar detail. Included with the telescope are a 7x50 viewfinder for easy object location, a flip mirror for convenient visual or photographic use, and a carry handle for transport. Ideal for both visual observers and astrophotographers looking for a capable, travel-friendly instrument with excellent optical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45643717607665,"sku":"ES2633","price":1899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5711\/6312\/files\/VMC200L_1.jpg?v=1736428870","url":"https:\/\/villohome.com\/products\/vixen-vmc200l-maksutov-cassegrain-telescope","provider":"Villohome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
