Orion Optics UK VX Newtonian Telescopes

Orion Optics UK VX Newtonian telescopes are optical tube assemblies made in the UK in apertures from 6" to 20". The line includes the VX6, VX8, VX10, VX12, VX14 and VX16, the longer focal length VX6L, VX8L, VX10L and VX12L, and the VX20 DOB tube for large Dobsonian builds.

The standard tubes serve both visual deep-sky observing and imaging, while the L versions give higher magnification and a smaller secondary for planetary contrast.
