Vixen SA70S Classic Telescope

The Vixen SA70S was marketed in the late 1970’s as a competitor to the Takahashi TS-65P. It has an additional 5mm aperture and many of the same characteristics. It was designed to be portable and small for expeditions away from city light pollution. Obviously, Vixen wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the renowned Takahashi scope. They may have been late to the party, though, as these scopes appear to be very rare.
