Celestron Advanced VX 6" Newtonian

Explore the cosmos with the Advanced VX 6" Newtonian Telescope, a revolutionary mid-level telescope that brings Celestron's sophisticated German equatorial mount technology to a more accessible price point. This telescope is an ideal choice for both beginners and intermediate astronomers, offering a Newtonian optical design that excels in visual observing and provides the largest aperture for its cost. The parabolic primary mirror of this telescope is designed to minimize spherical aberration, delivering a sharper image near the edge of the field of view. The Advanced VX mount, the smallest of Celestron's German equatorial mounts, is engineered for superior performance with smaller telescopes, incorporating Celestron's most advanced technologies such as 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 6" Newtonian Telescope is designed to meet your needs for years to come. Its computerized GoTo capability automatically tracks celestial objects as they traverse the night sky, and the mount includes ports for a hand control, an autoguider, and 2 AUX ports for optional accessories. The NexStar+ hand control offers instant access to all the functions of your mount, with automatic slewing and menu descriptions that make masterin
