About the Celestron Advanced VX Mount...
Engineered from the ground up with astro-imaging in mind, the Advanced VX from Celestron sets a new standard in mid-level equatorialĀ mounts. TheĀ Celestron Advanced VX MountĀ provides you with many of the features found on Celestron's most sophisticated German equatorial mounts, at an extremely affordable price.
Here's why:Ā
- Straightforward alignment process
- 30 pound payload
- Mount your choice of optical tube with either a Vixen or CGE (not Losmandy) style dovetail.
- Use your current fork mounted SCT optical tube.
It's easy: We can offer you the correct adaptor plate - Precision tracking
Ā TheĀ Celestron Advanced VX MountĀ was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You'll be able to track through long exposures 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 our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.
Experienced imagers will love taking theĀ Celestron Advanced VX MountĀ to a dark sky site, with all the performance of their larger observatory mount. Or, if you're new to imaging, this mount will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.Ā
Celestron Advanced VX Mount Features...

Skywatcher EvoStar 120ED Apo Refractor
- Doublet apochromatic optical design
- Two-element, air-spaced optical assembly minimizes false color
- 120mm aperture, 900mm focal length, f/7.5 focal ratio
- 2-inch dual-speed Crayford-style focuser
- Aluminum tube coated with glossy, black diamond metal-flake finish
- Included accessories: two 1.25-inch eyepieces (5mm and 25mm), 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, tube rings, V-style dovetail, 8x50 right-angle finderscope, 2-inch dielectric diagonal, and foam-lined aluminum case
Sky-Watcherās Evostar apochromatic doublet refractors are the perfect blend of superior extra-low dispersion glass and affordability. The Evostar refractor lens assembly utilizes a proprietary combination of matched lenses, delivering tack-sharp stars with charcoal-black, contrast-rich skies. All ED glass elements are fluorite-based and feature our proprietary Metallic High-Transmission Coatingsā¢ (MHTCā¢), virtually eliminating all false color while internal baffle prevent stray light from affecting your photography. Like the optics, the tube is beautifully crafted using aluminum and finished with a black diamond metal-flake finish.
Using a doublet refractor instead of a triplet has some advantages: less glass means less weight, less weight means a less expensive telescope, so you can dedicate more money for your camera or laptop while benefiting from a lightweight astrophotography rig.
The Evostar 120ED comes in a foam-lined aluminum case fully loaded with accessories, including: 2-inch Crayford-style focuser, 2-inch dielectric diagonal, an 8x50 right-angle finderscope, tube rings, and a V-style dovetail.
