This new NA140SS Vixen Telescope has all Japanese made glass optics. With its unique Petzval like correcting lens at the rear, this Vixen NeoAchro 140SS Refractor Telescope is specifically designed to provide improved color and a flat field, ideal for astrophotography. Manufactured in Japan.
One user states:
"Correction is so good, that I have also used the telescope for stellar and lunar photography - a use for which I had not originally purchased this Vixen Telescope." The NA140 "has excellent imagery across the field of the Canon DSLR but seems to have little or no apparent lateral color error. Its low weight for its aperture, easy portability and excellent medium focal length and fast f-ratio make it the perfect ''one telescope does it all'' product."
Don''t forget... We also carry many fine Vixen Accessories including Vixen Eyepieces, and Vixen Reducers and Adapters. There''s a complete line of Vixen Telescope Mounts and Vixen Camera Mounts, too!
