R150S/R130S
GP-Trim
R130S OTA GP-Trim
Great entry into Vixen quality! The R130S optical tube
has 5.1” aperture and yields 0.89 arc-sec of resolution.
At f/5.5 this is great for wide-field viewing and imaging
of extended objects. 6x30 finder and 1¼” eyepiece
adapter. (Shown with optional eyepiece, tube rings &
dovetail plate on GP mount.)
Model # TS-ON-8695 Wt: 3.7 kg / 8.2 lbs
Design
Newtonian reflector telescopes are
completely free of chromatic aberration,
and they are generally less expensive
than refractor telescopes of equal
aperture. The parabolic mirror reflectors
have neither chromatic aberration nor
spherical aberration and their center
image is extremely sharp.
Vixen’s unique sliding focus mount (for
the R130S and R150S) has the
advantage of using a smaller secondary
mirror that minimizes light loss due to
secondary mirror obstruction.
Wide-Field Pleasures Await!
• Fully Coated Optics
• No chromatic aberration
Optional Photo Accessories
Tele-Extender R130S/R150S
Tele-Extenders extend the
effective focal length of the
optical system. They can be used
in place of a Barlow lens for
imaging applications. Extends
the focal length of the R150S
from 750mm to 1500mm (f/10)
and the R130S from 720mm to
1440mm (f/11).
Model # AV-TE-3631
Focal Reducer R130S/R150S
Focal reducers shorten the
effective focal length of
telescopes to provide wider
visual fields and faster f-ratios
for astrophotography. This focal
reducers is for astrophotography
only. Shortens the focal length of
the R150S from 750mm to
652mm (f/4.3) and the R130S
from 720mm to 626mm (f/4.8).
Model # AP-FR-3633
Newtonian:
150mm/5.9” @ f/5.0
R150S OTA GP-Trim
The 5.9” clear aperture of the R150S optical tube and
f/5 focal ratio results in a potent, wide-field photo-
visual system with 0.77 arc-sec of resolution. A 6x30
finder and 1¼” eyepiece adapter are included. (Shown
with optional eyepiece, tube rings and dovetail plate
on GP-type mount.)
Model # TS-ON-8696 Wt: 4.8 kg / 10.6 lbs
