About the Celestron Advanced VX 6" Newtonian Telescope...

For those new to astronomy and astroimaging, the Celestron Telescope Advanced VX 6" Newtonian is an excellent entry-level setup that can grow with you. The Newtonian optical design of the Celestron Advanced VX 6" Newtonian Telescope is excellent for visual observing and offers you the largest aperture for the price. Combined with the Advanced VX mount and optional Celestron CCD Camera, you''ll have all the tools you need to learn the basics of imaging.

Ā 

About the Celestron Advanced VX Mount...

Ā 

The new Advanced VX Celestron Telescope Mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller Celestron Telescopes. Now your Celestron Advanced VX 6" Newtonian Telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You''ll be able to track through long exposures with your Celestron CCD Camera using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than the previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.

Ā 

Don'''t forget... Additional Celestron Telescope Eyepieces are also available - along with an extensive array of Celestron Telescope Accessories, too!
