With its EdgeHD optical tube and the sturdy Advanced VX equatorial mount and tripod, this kit provides unparalleled views of the planets, up-close views of the lunar surface (including craters and maria), and stunning deep sky images. You will be amazed at the optical performance from this great 9.25\" scope, whether you are doing visual observing or imaging!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdgeHD Optical Design: The EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt optical system that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system reduces more than just off-axis star coma; it provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees visibly sharp stars across the largest imaging sensors available. Of course, it is also great for visual use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced VX mount is designed to provide superior performance for smaller telescopes while taking advantage of Celestron’s most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re an experienced imager, you’ll love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount. Or, if you’re new to imaging, Advanced VX will help you get started with the astronomy hobby and keep up with your needs for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComputerized German Equatorial mount: The Advanced VX is the smallest of Celestron’s German equatorial mounts. The computerized GoTo capability automatically tracks objects as they move across the night sky. The Advanced VX mount includes ports for a hand control, an autoguider, and 2 AUX ports for optional accessories. The NexStar+ hand control gives you instant access to all the functions your mount has to offer. With automatic slewing and menu descriptions, astronomers of all skill levels can master this mount in just a few observing sessions. Payload capacity: The payload capacity for the Advanced VX is 30 pounds. It offers a sturdy platform for the 9.25” EdgeHD optical tube, even when paired with optional accessories, (not including counterweights). The Advanced VX also has an impressive tripod for its class with 2”-diameter steel tripod legs, providing an extra-wide stance for improved stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDual saddle plate - As of early 2019, Advanced VX mounts now include a new dual saddle plate that accommodates both CG-5 and CGE-style dovetails. Switching between the two saddle plates is simple. Just move the hand knobs into a separate set of holes. This means you can use your Advanced VX mount not only with the 9.25” EdgeHD, but virtually any optical tube within Advanced VX’s weight limit. The mount is compatible with Vixen format dovetails 100 mm or longer, but not compatible with Losmandy D format plates (regardless of plate manufacturer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron PWI Telescope Control: Your Ultimate Astronomy Software - All current Celestron computerized telescopes include Celestron PWI (CPWI), the most advanced astronomy software provided with any consumer-grade telescope. Celestron’s experts co-developed CPWI with the engineers at PlaneWave Instruments. The result is an all-in-one solution offering you many of the same features used on PlaneWave’s observatory-class telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphical planetarium interface with PointXP advanced mount modelling allows you to add 100+ points to your alignment model for the most accurate pointing and tracking possible. Ideal for remote observatory setups: save and re-load your alignment and park your scope. Provides a complete ASCOM telescope interface to allow control of the telescope from third party software applications. Starry Night Software - Also included with your purchase of this scope is a free download of Celestron’s Starry Night Special Edition Software. This advanced software by Simulation Curriculum offers detailed information about celestial objects and helps you plan your next observing or imaging session. The software also includes telescope control via your PC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced VX 9.25” EdgeHD comes complete with a 25 mm eyepiece, a 1.25” star diagonal, and a 6x30 finderscope. An optional Barlow lens (NOT included) can provide additional magnification for high-resolution planetary, lunar, and solar imaging, or add an optional reducer lens. And, of course, all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible for ultra-fast f\/2 wide field imaging. Each EdgeHD tube is fitted with a removable secondary mirror and is opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure it is axially symmetric in any configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhat's In The Box:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelestron Advanced VX 9.25” EdgeHD Schmidt Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 mm Eyepiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25\" Star Diagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6x30 Finderscope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusive Dual Saddle Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced VX Mount W\/Celestron Control NexStar + Hand Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelestron PWI Telescope Control Software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x 12 lb Counterweights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSturdy Stainless Steel Tripod w\/ Accessory Tray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC Power Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand Control Holster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-Year Celestron Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdgeHD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAperture\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e235 mm (9.25\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2350 mm (93\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ef\/10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFocal Length of Eyepiece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 mm (.91\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification of Eyepiece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e102x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinderscope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9x50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStar Diagonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\" with 1.25\" adapter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHighest Useful Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e555x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLowest Useful Magnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLimiting Stellar Magnitude\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution (Rayleigh)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.59 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution (Dawes)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.49 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,127x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Mirror Obstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 mm (3.35\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Mirror Obstruction by Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary Mirror Obstruction by Area\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStarBright XLT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Tube Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e559 mm (22\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Tube Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e271.78 mm (10.7\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Tube Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 lb (9.53 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDovetail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCGE Dovetail bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComputerized Equatorial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInstrument load capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 lb (13.6 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight adjustment range (includes mount and tripod)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1118 mm -
