This R200SS 200mm f/4 Reflector Telescope with SX2WL Mount from Vixen Optics has a chromatic, aberration-free, Newtonian reflector that can resolve and split distant binary stars and separate individual stars in clusters. Its large aperture and moderate focal length results in a fast f/4 focal ratio ideal for observing and imaging the moon, planets, and deep-sky objects including galaxies, clusters, and nebulae. The R200SS is offered here without a tripod or mount head for those who already have a reliable rig and are looking to upgrade or add to their observation capabilities.

SX2WL Mount

Successor of the SX equatorial mount offering extremely comfortable automatic slewing via smartphone or tablet PC running the Vixen StarBook app. Accurate tracking by micro-step motion control technology and pulse motor offers very stable and smooth rotation. Can be used without counterweight if the load is small thanks to its unique DEC body design. A retractable counterweight bar design permits convenience for transport and set-up.
