Description
The Celestron C8-N Advanced VX 8" Newtonian has 78% more light gathering than the 6\" model, making it more suitable for observing dimmer objects. Since reflectors often summer for coma, the parabolic primary mirror provides sharper images at the edge of the field of view to reduce the effect. For visual observers and even astroimagers, the large aperture of the OTA telescope shows lots in detail from planets to brighter deep sky objects. With a mid focal ratio of f/5, this optical tube assembly is balanced for both observing planets and deep sky objects.

The Celestron Advanced VX mount provides you with many of the features found on Celestron’s most sophisticated German Equatorial Mounts, at an extremely affordable price! Astroimagers and visual astronomers will appreciate the increased portability of this GoTo equatorial mount due to its lighter weight, while still using the powerful alignment and slewing tools found in larger mounts like the CGE and CGEM.

Features:

  • PEC, also known as Periodic Error Correction corrects errors in the worm gear making tracking more efficienty and accurate
  • Viewing and imaging across the meridian is possible without motor interference
  • The Celestron Advanced VX Equatorial mount has excellent latitude range from 7-77 degrees latitude! More than enough range for most imagers and viewers
  • Payload up to 30 lbs, enough to maintain an 11" Schmidt Cassegrain optical tube!
  • Users can easily align with Celestron's All-Star Polar Alignment making viewing and imaging sessions easy to begin
  • Dual saddle plate that works with both CG-5 and CGE style dovetails
