Vixen Ap 80/600

The ED80Sf refractor with Vixen's new Dual Speed Focuser, features high-grade glass (FPL-53) and quality components. Coupled with a medium f/7.5 focal ratio, the ED "S" series provides a sharp, color-free image of high contrast. At only 22.4", this is our ultimate grab-n-go APO travel scope.

The Porta II is the Mercedes of azimuth mounts: beautifully designed, very solidly constructed and proven thousands of times over!

If you are looking for a simple mount that can be quickly packed, easily transported and set up, the Porta II is the right choice. It can safely support smaller optics up to 5 kg and 16 cm outer diameter. You can easily move your telescope in azimuth and elevation by hand, and thanks to the friction brake, the mount holds the set elevation angle firmly in place.

The Porta II has two handles for fine adjustment and tracking. The position of the handles is variable, so you can ergonomically adapt your Porta II to different optical tubes.

The tool included in the scope delivery is required to adjust the fine adjustment position or the friction brake. The Porta II has a small storage compartment for this purpose.

The Porta II mount can be detached from the tripod with a simple screw. This can be done easily by hand with a handy screw, so that you can transport the tripod and mount separately and still be ready for use quickly.

The PORTA II is equipped with the prism rail system introduced by Vixen. Most telescope manufacturers have adopted this system, so you can use virtually any optical tube.

Azimuth mounts are ideal for quick, mobile use of small optics. They owe their popularity to their intuitive operation, light weight and the fact that they take up little space. The Porta II is the best choice for this type of mount!
