Celestron Advanced VX 8 Newtonian

203mm Newtonian telescope with a computerized Advanced VX German equatorial mount.

The optics of the Advanced VX 8 Newtonian telescope are manufactured by Celestron following the uncompromising quality standards typical of Celestron. The Advanced VX 8" Newtonian uses a diffraction-limited parabolic mirror, which allows for sharp images across a wide field of view.

The Advanced VX series telescopes are mounted on the new computerized Advanced VX equatorial mount. The basic kit includes quality accessories: a bright 9x50 finderscope, a 20mm Plössl 31.8mm diameter eyepiece, and a 2-inch focuser, with which you can start observing immediately. The new Advanced VX mount has been designed to provide optimal performance in the field of imaging with small telescopes.

Now your instrument can take advantage of the very convenient All-Star Polar Alignment (which allows for alignment without seeing the North Star) and the autoguider electrical port. You will be able to track long exposures and program the Permanent Periodic Error Correction. You can also take photos across the meridian without performing a meridian flip.

The Advanced VX mount features a significantly larger base plate than the previous mount, improving stability when subjected to heavy loads. The improved motors offer more torque and are capable of handling slight imbalances with ease. In addition, the AVX mount is equipped with an internal clock (RTC module) with a backup battery, so it can be turned off without losing alignment data. 220V POWER SUPPLY INCLUDED!
