Discover the wonders of the cosmos with the Celestron Advanced VX 6" Refractor Telescope WiFi Kit, complete with a Skyportal Wifi Module. This high-performance telescope is the go-to choice for many astroimagers seeking to capture planetary imaging and brighter deep-sky objects with unparalleled clarity and contrast. Unlike Schmidt-Cassegrain or Newtonian telescopes, this refractor telescope does not have a secondary mirror, ensuring no obstruction of the aperture. This design feature allows for the highest possible contrast, making your celestial observations and photography more vivid and detailed. The refractor setup boasts an f/8 objective lens, which can be seamlessly paired with one of our Nightscape CCD cameras for capturing brighter deep-sky objects.
Alternatively, combine it with our NexImage 5 Solar System Imager to create stunning images of the planets in our solar system. The Advanced VX mount, specifically designed to optimize imaging performance for smaller telescopes, is a standout feature of this kit. It offers All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support, enabling your telescope to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. This feature allows you to image across the meridian without needing a meridian flip, providing a seamless imaging experience of the best parts of the night sky. The Advanced VX mount also features larger base castings than previous designs, enhancing stability under heavier loads.
Its improved motors offer more torque and can effortlessly handle slight load imbalances. The included Celestron Skyportal Wifi Module takes your stargazing experience to the next level. Align and control your telescope wirelessly using your smartphone or tablet with Celestron's free SkyPortal app, available for both iOS and Android devices. Simply tap any celestial object you see in the sky to identify it instantly. With another tap, your telescope slews to that object, perfectly centering it in the eyepiece. Explore over 100, 000 objects in SkyPortal's extensive database. As you observe, you can view astroimages and listen to audio descriptions for hundreds of the most popular objects, including the planets, Orion Nebula, Hercules Globular Star Cluster, and more.
The Sky Tour feature generates a list of all the best stars, galaxies, and nebulae to view based on your exact time and location. With the Celestron Advanced VX 6" Refractor Telescope WiFi Kit, you're not just observing the universe, you're immersing yourself in the vast beauty of the cosmos.
