This R200SS 200mm f/4 Reflector Telescope with SXP2 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.

SXP2 Mount
The features of the SXP2 mount include pulse motors and a belt drive system, a generous use of bearings, P-PEC, meridian crossing and disabling reverse motion, and more. With observatory-quality controls and versatile functions, your target object appears on the high-definition screen of the StarBook Ten and in your telescope's field of view instantaneously. The revolutionary advanced star chart GoTo navigation controller is the best companion for your observing sessions.
