For sale is the Vixen Polarie (not the U version) and finder scope. For backpackers and hiking photographers, this is the ultimate lightweight tracking mount where you can, with care and effort, take good wide angle photos. I've used it twice on my trips to New Zealand's Te Waipounamu (South Island) and, once carefully polar aligned, it does a very good job with 2 min exposures unguided with a wide angle lens. With stacking, you can get very decent astrophotos indeed. All you need to add is a small light weight ball head and your camera. A sturdy tripod and an alt az mount like William Optics' excellent version is helpul, speaking from experience.
What is included:
(a) Vixen Polarie, box and instructions
(b) Vixen Polarscope PF-L, instructions but not original box
Defects:
(a) front lens barrel of polarscope has a small nick- just aesthetics and does not affectg operation, which is perfect.
(b) Polarie body has some minor aesthetic use marks, once again, does not affect operation.
Thank you for looking!
