Vixen A80Mf Porta-II Refractor Telescope

Stop Fighting Your Telescope and Start Exploring the Universe: The Vixen A80Mf with Porta-II Mount

Experience the Vixen A80Mf Difference. This isn’t just another beginner telescope; it’s A precision instrument supported by the smoothest, most stable mount in its class.

  • Virtually Zero Color Fringing: The long f/11.4 focal ratio delivers stunningly sharp, high-contrast images of bright objects, revealing the true colors of Jupiter and the crisp details of lunar craters without distracting purple halos.
  • The Legendary Porta 2 Mount is renowned for its buttery-smooth, zero-backlash controls and rock-solid stability. Point, track, and focus with absolute precision—the mount stays exactly where you put it.
  • Set Up in Minutes, Explore for Hours: The ultimate in intelligent grab-and-go design. Its intuitive, lightweight setup means you spend less time assembling and more time in awe of the cosmos.
  • A Legacy of Quality: Feel the superior Japanese engineering in every component. This is an investment in a lifetime of reliable, enjoyable observing, not a disposable toy.
  • Ergonomic and Intuitive: From the variable-position control handles to the built-in tool compartment, every detail is designed for a comfortable and seamless user experience.
Universal Compatibility: The Vixen-standard dovetail bar means the telescope can grow with you, easily attaching to a wide range of other astronomical mounts.

The Antidote to Frustration: Precision Engineering Meets Optical Purity

Imagine a completely different experience. Imagine a telescope that feels like a natural extension of your own eyes. An instrument so stable and smooth that the Universe seems to hang motionless, waiting for you to explore its every detail. This is the experience Vixen delivers with the Vixen A80Mf telescope and the legendary Porta-II mount. This is not just a product; it’s a design philosophy.

Let’s start with the foundation: the Vixen A80Mf Porta-II mount. Widely regarded as the “Mercedes” of altazimuth mounts, it is a masterpiece of mechanical engineering. There is no wobble. There are no jerky motions. Thanks to its robust construction and precision friction brake system, the mount holds your telescope with unshakable stability.

When you point the Vixen A80Mf at Jupiter, it stays pointed at Jupiter. The two slow-motion control handles operate with a buttery smoothness that has to be felt to be believed. There is zero backlash, meaning the instant you turn the knob, the telescope moves. This allows for effortless, precise tracking of planets even at high magnification—a feat that is simply impossible on lesser mounts.

This unshakable platform supports an optical tube that is purpose-built for excellence. The Vixen A80Mf refractor features a long 910mm focal length, creating a very forgiving f/11.4 focal ratio. This optical design is the key to its stunning performance on bright objects. It naturally minimizes chromatic aberration—that distracting color fringing—to a negligible level, resulting in views that are incredibly sharp, rich in contrast, and true to life.

The Moon isn’t a purple-tinged blob; it’s a breathtaking world of crisp, monochrome craters and mountains. The Vixen A80Mf Porta-II system is the perfect synergy of mechanical precision and optical purity, engineered to eliminate frustration and deliver pure astronomical joy.

ELECTRIC CONSTELLATIONS Book Series

Challenge the standard model—explore the cosmos through the Electric Universe Theory. These Electric Constellations books contain full-color, data-rich investigations of four constellations each. They're not a beginner's star guide—they're a serious work for independent thinkers, astronomers, and scientifically literate readers seeking to understand the Universe beyond conventional gravity-based interpretations.

Each constellation is examined in detail, with attention to its Bayer-designated stars, mythological origins, meteor showers, and bordering constellations. In-depth profiles of deep-sky objects—including galaxies, planetary nebulae, and star clusters—are paired with high-resolution imagery from the Webb and Hubble space telescopes, delivering both scientific clarity and visual impact.

Central to this series is the Electric Universe (EU) model, which proposes that electromagnetic forces—not gravity alone—govern much of the structure and behavior of the cosmos. Rather than treating this as speculative fringe, the book frames the EU model as an evidence-based, plasma-physics-informed alternative to the standard cosmological narrative.

Inside each volume:

  • Comprehensive coverage of four distinct constellations
  • Analyses of deep-sky objects in the EU context
  • Original commentary on plasma discharge features and Z-pinch configurations
  • Mythological and historical context without romantic embellishment

Written for readers who demand more than rote repetition of gravitational dogma, Electric Constellations opens a new observational and theoretical frontier—where stars light by electrical currents, not fusion, and where structure emerges from plasma dynamics, not dark matter.

Whether you are an amateur astronomer, electrical engineer, or astrophysicist curious about alternative models, these books deliver a rigorous and visually stunning exploration of the night sky—illuminated by a very different current.
