Celestron Advanced VX 6" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

For the intermediate visual observer and beginning astroimager, the Advanced VX 6” SCT is the most affordable Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a solid GoTo mount. The Schmidt-Cassegrain optical design is ideal for imagers and visual observers looking for a telescope that is much more portable than the reflector or refractor. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design also eliminates chromatic aberration, making it a good choice for entry-level astroimaging.

ABOUT THE MOUNT

The new Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You’ll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous 

• 6” (150mm) f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain includes StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission
• 40% more light gathering than a 5” telescope.
• Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear.
• Autoguider port for long exposure imaging
• New motors offer improved tracking performance & provide more power to overcome load imbalances
• Updated industrial design offers more rigidity, less flexure and improved aesthetics
• New design allows viewing or imaging across the meridian without interference from the motors housings
• Improved latitude range.  Can be used between 7 – 77 degrees latitude.
• NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language programming
