The Celestron 6 Refractor Advanced VX Telescope gives high contrast views. Because they don't have a secondary mirror, refractors offer no obstruction of the aperture, giving the highest possible contrast. This refractor setup features an f/8 objective lens, which can be paired with a Nightscape CCD camera to image brighter deep-sky objects or the Nex Image 5 Solar System Imager to create dazzling images of the planets. 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/8 objective lens is perfect for high contrast planetary views
- 2 Focuser allows use with 2 & 1.25 accessories
- Integer gear ratios & permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear.
- Autoguider port for long exposure imaging
- 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.
- Nex Star+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish) Main Specifications Optical Design: Refractor Aperture (mm) 150 mm (5.91 in) Focal Length 1200 mm (47 in) Focal Ratio 8 Focal Length of Eyepiece 1 (mm) 20 mm (0.79 in) Magnification of Eyepiece 1 60 x Finderscope 9x 50 Tripod Adjustable, Stainless Steel Tripod Leg Diameter 2 Highest Useful Magnification 354 x Lowest Useful Magnification 21 x For full
