Vixen R200S telescope never used, item 2642 5 year warranty This telescope was a return from one of our retailers. I don’t see any signs of use except for the mark on the dovetail after we tested the image quality in the daylight. The front lens cap appears to have some wear from shipping. The body and optics are in brand new shape and the focuser tested as normal. Included are the tube rings, dovetail bar, finder bracket holder and 1 ¼” eyepiece adapter and instruction book. In this condition we will include the normal 5-year factory warranty. This is in my opinion an exceptional buy. Originally sold for $1,699.00. From our web site on the R200S itself:The remarkably fast 200mm (8″) f/4 parabolic primary mirror of the Vixen R200SS Newtonian Reflector Telescope gives extremely sharp images with no chromatic aberration. The primary mirror of the R200SS Telescope is produced with a unique aluminum vacuum evaporation technology. The use of state-of-the-art coating technology yields the ideal surface for its f/4 primary mirror. The visual observer will enjoy wide views of deep sky objects. Actual groups of nebula or clusters can be viewed at the same time with this instrument. The telescope’s large aperture and compact body make it ideally suited for astrophotography of nebulae, star clusters and comets. The use of the optional coma corrector allows for a sharp coma-free image from edge to edge, and the rack and pinion focuser provides smooth and easy focusing.
