Vixen Telescope APZ Mount
A simple easy to use alt-azimuth mount delivered from the transformation of the AP mount.
With the smooth friction control mechanism of the APZ mount, the telescope can be moved quickly by hand to your target object.
Sealed Ball Bearings
The sealed type ball bearings are used for movable part to eliminate from mixing in of dust particles and offer excellent durability. It ensures smooth rotation of an optical tube loaded.
Decent 8kg Loading Weight
The rigid body and sealed ball bearings allows for using a VMC telescope with 200mm aperture.
Features of the Vixen A105MⅡ Telescope Tube
A refracting telescope uses a lens to collect light, resulting in a bright and high-contrast design
[Refracting telescope tube that focuses light with a lens]
A refracting telescope is an optical system in which an objective lens (one or more convex lenses) is placed at the end of a sturdy, stable, elongated tube, and an eyepiece is placed on the side that the eye looks through.
Because light from celestial objects such as the moon, planets, nebulae, and star clusters enters the observer's eye in a straight line through the lens, it is easy to determine the position of the object and is easy to use.
[Bright and high contrast]
Because there are no obstructions in the lens's optical path, the structure is less susceptible to light loss and diffraction. Furthermore, it is easy to position a light-shielding diaphragm, allowing for efficient removal of stray light (reflections within the lens barrel). As a result, it produces a bright, high-contrast, and clear image without any distortion.
