I. Vixen A80Mf Refractor Telescope:
Introductory scope with larger aperture for great resolution. A perfect telescope for the beginner astronomer or an ideal first telescope for a child. The A80Mf is an Achromatic Refractor with 80mm (3.2") of aperture. Its focal length is 910mm (3 ft.) with an f ratio of 11.4. Its light gathering is 130 times better than the human eye and has a maximum (realistic) power of 144X. It is easily transported to your observing site for quick set up and viewing. It weighs about 5.5 lbs. and is covered by Vixen's 5 Year Warranty.

II. Vixen Porta II Mount:
The Porta II is a solid altazimuth mount with a 20lb payload capacity and features Slow Motion Flexible Handles to minimize vibrations and keep your view sharp. This is very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects. The Sky at Night says: "When moving the telescope around the sky with this mount, we found any vibrations quickly dampened down. The whole system was very stable, even when the tripod was at its maximum extended height"*. The mount head is easily removed to allow for a switch to a heavier tripod. In addition, this is a great mount for terrestrial viewing. With no locks or clutches, our gear drives make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by turning the elevation and/or azimuth control handles. The Porta II Mount features slow motion control of both axes, solid central bolt for easy tripod change, flex handles and accessory tray.
The “World-Standard” dovetail attachment system on PORTA II was developed by Vixen. This allows the PORTA II to accept various dovetail mounted optical tubes and binoculars.

- Mount: Port II Altazimuth Mount
- Tripod: Aluminum 2 section adjustable; 35.4" to 51" (90cm to 130cm)
- Mount Weight: 15 lbs including tripod
- Load Capacity: 20 lbs
