Vixen AXD2-VMC260L(WT)-P – 260 mm Catadioptric Telescope + AXD2 Go-To Equatorial Mount System

The AXD2-VMC260L(WT)-P is a complete high-performance telescope system designed for advanced observers and serious astrophotographers. Featuring a large 260 mm catadioptric optical tube paired with the precision AXD2 Go-To equatorial mount, this system delivers exceptional light-gathering ability, sharp resolution, and stable long-exposure tracking.

The VMC260L(WT) optical tube offers a powerful 3000 mm focal length (F/11.5), making it ideal for high-magnification planetary work and detailed deep-sky imaging. Its main-mirror-focusing design ensures a fixed eyepiece and camera position, maintaining stability even when heavy imaging equipment is attached.

The AXD2 mount provides smooth, highly accurate tracking and full computerized Go-To navigation, allowing you to locate and follow celestial targets effortlessly. The included pillar base offers observatory-grade stability, making the system suitable for rooftop, backyard observatory, or fixed-site astronomy setups.

This package is engineered for performance, precision, and durability — a complete solution for ambitious visual observers and astrophotographers seeking professional-level results.
