Large Telescopes >6" to 12"

A great choice for a telescope. We normally recommend people choose truss-tube or collapsible versions where possible for portability. This is what most serious astronomers end up choosing as their main telescope as it enables them to see most of the interesting deep sky objects such as star clusters, galaxies and nebulae, detail and colour in the planets such as the Cassini Division in Saturns’ rings, Saturns’ moons, colour and detail in Jupiter’s cloud bands and its moons, polar ice caps on Mars, as well as the occasional comet. They also make great astrophotography setups as most mounts will support a scope of this size well.

The Advanced VX (AVX) sets a standard in mid-level telescopes, providing many of the features found on Celestron’s most sophisticated German equatorial mounts at an extremely affordable price.

The Advanced VX 8” Newtonian telescope is an excellent entry- to mid-level setup that can grow with you. The Newtonian optical design is excellent for visual observing and offers you the largest aperture for the price. The parabolic primary mirror minimizes spherical aberration to produce a sharper image near the edge of the field of view. The 8” Newtonian optical tube offers 78% more light gathering ability than the 6” Newtonian optical tube.

The Advanced VX mount is designed to provide superior performance for smaller telescopes while taking advantage of Celestron’s most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).

If you’re an experienced imager, you’ll love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount. Or, if you’re new to imaging, Advanced VX will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.
