The Vixen N 130/650 optics: This lightweight 5'' Newtonian is the ideal entry-level telescope for demanding astronomy novices. Thanks to its high light intensity, it delivers bright and sharp images, and all this at an excellent price-performance ratio. The R130Sf is not only ideal for the Moon and planets, but you can also use it to observe other objects such as star clusters, nebulae or galaxies. You will be amazed when you look at the surface of the Moon with its many craters or the rings of Saturn through this high-quality telescope. The sight of the Orion Nebula or the Andromeda Galaxy under a dark sky will be an unforgettable experience.
For astrophotography, the T2 connection on the focuser allows you to connect a DSLR camera with an optional T2 ring. This means you don't need a separate camera adaptor. The Vixen prism rail allows you to attach the telescope to many mounts from other manufacturers. The focuser is designed for 31.7 mm barrel diameter, so you can choose from a wide range of accessories to expand your telescope if required.
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!
