Carbon Tube Upgrade for Vixen R200SS 8" F4 Newtonian Telescope

Carbon Tube Upgrade for Vixen R200SS 8" F4 Newtonian Telescope

Complete carbon fibre tube with all necessary bores for your Vixen R200SS Newtonian

Equip your Vixen R200SS Newtonian with a carbon fibre tube and you will reduce the telescope´s weight significantly. At the same time, the thermal focus drift is reduced. You can use all your telescope parts - focuser, rings, mirror cells - only the metal tube will replaced through the carbon tube - all the bores are setted.

Advantages of the TS carbon tube upgrade

All bores are already placed. You don´t have to drill on your own. All of your previous telescope parts (mirror cells, focuser, spider vanes, tube rings...) can be continued in use.

You will have the same focus position from the focuser - you will not have to change your acessories.

The weight will be reduced, vibrations will be reduced and the tube will be more stable.

The telescope will hold the focus position more precise - this is important for astrophotography.
