Bring the universe closer with the Celestron Advanced VX 8" Newtonian Telescope, a groundbreaking mid-level telescope that offers features typically found in Celestron's top-tier German equatorial mounts. This telescope is an exceptional choice for both beginners and intermediate astronomers, offering a Newtonian optical design that excels in visual observing.
The 8" Newtonian optical tube, with its parabolic primary mirror, minimizes spherical aberration to deliver sharper images near the edge of the field of view. It boasts 78% more light gathering ability than a 6" Newtonian optical tube, ensuring brighter, clearer images of celestial objects.
The Advanced VX mount, the smallest of Celestron's German equatorial mounts, is designed to optimize performance for smaller telescopes. It incorporates Celestron's most advanced technologies, including All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).
Whether you're an experienced imager seeking a portable mount for a dark sky site or a novice eager to delve into the hobby, the Advanced VX is designed to meet your needs. Its computerized GoTo capability automatically tracks celestial objects as they traverse the night sky, while the NexStar+ hand control offers easy access to all the mount's functions.
The Advanced VX also features a robust tripod with 2" diameter steel legs for improved stability. Its payload capacity is 30 lb, providing a sturdy platform for any of the Advanced VX optical tubes and optional accessories.
As of early 2019, Advanced VX mounts now include a dual saddle plate that accommodates both CG-5 and CGE-style dovetail, making it compatible with virtually any optical tube within its weight limit.
The telescope comes with Celestron PWI (CPWI), the most advanced astronomy software suite available with any consumer-grade telescope. Developed in collaboration with PlaneWave Instruments, CPWI offers a graphical planetarium interface with PointXP advanced mount modelling for the most accurate pointing and tracking.
Your purchase also includes a free download of Celestron's Starry Night Special Edition Software. This advanced software provides detailed information about celestial objects and helps you plan your next observing or imaging session. With the Celestron Advanced VX 8" Newtonian Telescope, you'll have the universe at your fingertips.
