When exploring the cosmos, the Celestron Advanced VX 6" Refractor Telescope stands out as an exceptional tool for both planetary imaging and observing brighter deep-sky objects. Many seasoned astroimagers agree that for unobstructed, high-contrast views, a refractor telescope like this one is the superior choice over Schmidt-Cassegrain or Newtonian models, which feature a secondary mirror. This advanced refractor telescope boasts an f/8 objective lens, ideal for capturing stunning images of brighter deep-sky objects when paired with a Nightscape CCD camera. Alternatively, connect it with our NexImage 5 Solar System Imager to create breathtaking images of planets.
The mount of this telescope is a noteworthy feature. The newly designed Advanced VX mount is specifically engineered to optimize imaging performance for smaller telescopes. This innovative mount allows your telescope to benefit from All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support, enabling you to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. With this telescope, you can image across the meridian without needing to perform a meridian flip, allowing you to seamlessly capture the best parts of the night sky. The Advanced VX mount also features significantly larger base castings than previous models, enhancing stability under heavier loads.
Plus, the improved motors provide more torque and can effortlessly handle slight load imbalances. In addition to its powerful features, the Celestron Advanced VX 6" Refractor Telescope comes with an accessory kit that includes a night vision flashlight, sky maps, a moon filter, and an optical cleaning kit, all designed to enhance your stargazing experience. Whether you're an amateur astronomer or a seasoned stargazer, this telescope offers a high-quality, versatile solution for observing the night sky.
