VMC95L on Mini-Porta Mount

Vixen VMC95L on MiniPortaThe VMC95L is intriguing in its own right with interesting features including a curved vane Secondary Mirror Spider to reduce diffraction effects. Like its larger cousins the VMC110L, VMC200L and VMC260L, this scope features a meniscus lens just ahead of the Secondary Mirror.

This is one of the best multiple purpose grab and go telescopes that is as perfectly suited for looking at the stars as it is the bird in the tree half a mile away. With more light gathering capability than anything else in this price range and a extremely light weight at 4lbs, you might just forget you packed it with you to the top of that ridgeline (well okay maybe not!). 

 
    Don’t let its diminutive size and weight fool you, many telescopes like this design are used for research around the globe and even outside our atmosphere!  You are sure to be blown away by its snap of focus and razor like images.

The NEW Mini-PORTA gives great performance when viewing objects at high magnification, the damping and vibration being significantly reduced as compared to other lesser quality telescope mounts.

The Vixen Mini Porta Mount comes equipped with two fine adjustment handles for whole circle slow motion in both directions, very useful in searching and tracking celestial objects. In addition, the Vixen Mini Porta is a great mount for terrestrial viewing. Vixen gear drives make it a simple matter to precisely track a planet or a ship on the horizon by simply turning the elevation and/or azimuth control handles.

The Mini Porta Mount will carry a maximum weight of 8 pounds, and weighs a mere 6 lbs. Together with the 4 pound VMC95L, you'll have a complete telescope system that weight all of ten pounds! Talk about portable!
