The Celestron 6 Newtonian Advanced VX Telescope is an excellent entry-level telescope that can grow with you. Its Newtonian optical design is excellent for visual observing & when combined with the Advanced VX mount you will have all the tools necessary for your hobby. The Advanced VX mount was designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. This means the smaller telescope can now take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment & autoguider support. You will be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction & image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip. This means you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. The Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than the previous design, which improves stability under heavier loads. The enhanced motors offer more torque & can handle slight load imbalances with ease. Features
- 6 (150mm) f/5 optical design gives excellent wide field views
- Parabolic primary mirror minimizes spherical aberration to produce a better image
- Integer gear ratios & permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear
- New motors offer enhanced tracking performance & provide more power to overcome load imbalances
- Updated industrial design offers more rigidity, less flexure & enhanced aesthetics
- New design allows viewing or imaging across the meridian without interference from the motors housings
- enhanced latitude range, can be used between 7 – 77 degrees latitude
- enhanced electronics contain increased memory for future expansion
- Nex Star+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish) Main Specifications Optical Design: Newtonian Reflector Aperture (mm):150 mm (5.91 in) Focal Length:750 mm (30 in) Focal Ratio:5 Focal Length of Eyepiece 1 (mm):20 mm (0.79 in) Magnification of Eyepiece 1:38 x Finderscope:6x 30 Tripod: Adjustable, Stainless Steel Tripod Leg Diameter:2 Highest Useful Magnification: 354 x Lowest Useful Magnification: 21 x For full

Celestron 8 EdgeHD Advanced VX Telescope

The Celestron 8 EdgeHD Advanced VX Telescope combines the groundbreaking new Advanced VX mount with Celestron's best optics, the EdgeHD optical system. This setup offers the astroimager maximum versatility because it allows up to 3 different f-stop configurations. Users can attach a camera to the rear of the telescope and shoot at f/10, or attach the 8-inch focal reducer (not available yet) and shoot at f/7. Also, the EdgeHD is Fastar/Hyperstar compatible, giving imagers the option to shoot at ultra-fast f/2. Whichever configuration you choose, the EdgeHD technology gives you pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of the CCD sensor. The Advanced VX mount was designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. This means the smaller telescope can now take advantage
