Product Description

The Vixen VMC95L is a 95 mm (3.7 inch) aperture modified Cassegrain f/11 optical tube assembly. The VMC95L is intriguing in its own right with interesting features including a curved vane Secondary Mirror Spider to reduce diffraction effects. Like its larger cousins the VMC110L, VMC200L and VMC260L, this scope features a meniscus lens just ahead of the Secondary Mirror PORTA features a newly designed friction system allowing quick slewing to objects and 360° slow-motion controls for tracking. No fumbling with clutches or sectional slow-motion controls that run out of travel! Leave the heavy counterweights with the equatorials: simply balance scopes up to 155mm diameter on the altitude axis and start viewing! Standard Vixen dovetail mounting slot with lock and safety screw is fully SPHINX/GP-compatible. Mounting slot removes to reveal 1/4-20 and M8-1.25 threaded holes for custom mounting solutions. PORTA mount features interchangeable slow-motion knobs, tension adjustment and disassembly tools, built-in tool storage bay, tripod tray and aluminum legs. Tripod height to top of tripod base adjusts from 27.75" to 47.75"/70cm to 121cm. Weight: 12.1-lbs
