What is the difference between our optical tubes and all others from various vendors? Each and every MallinCam VRC line optical tubes are shipped via Air Freight to our warehouse from the manufacturer to avoid sea salt contamination that can shorten the life of your optical tube reflective coatings. Other vendors  use sea  containers to ship their optical tubes from the manufacturer which exposure optical elements to sea salt for months of traveling by boat.  We also check collimation on every optical tube prior to ship them to clients ensuring top quality. That's the MallinCam difference.

The VRC-6 optical tube is F/9, metal made tube, with Vixen style dove tail plate for attaching to your mount. The scope comes with a two speed 2" Crayford style focuser with 1.25" adapter, aluminized mirrors to 93% reflectivity, and mirrors are made of  BK7 optical glass .  Also comes with two focuser spacer rings (2" + 1") to adjust the focus distance of the scope to accommodate other cameras, focal reducers, and Barlows.  As with the other scopes in the VRC line, this scope is a fully baffled optical system offering the best possible way to obtain high contrast live images from any sites a user choose to observe from.  The compact size and low weight of the VRC-6 make it ideal for grab-and-go, or even as a finder scope.
