Celestron Advanced VX 6" F/8 Refractor Telescope features a 6" (150mm) aperture
to draw in copious amounts of light even light from distant deep space objects
like binary stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Its moderately fast f/8 focal ratio
allows for shorter exposure times than slower scopes, which means more images can be captured for later stacking in post. A large-drawtube 2" focuser allows the use of larger wide-field eyepieces or large imaging sensor cameras to
be used without vignetting, and an included reducer adapter lets users install
smaller 1.25" accessories like the included eyepiece or diagonal.
The mount head moves and tracks objects with high-precision and almost no
vibrations to ensure clear views. Its wide 7 - 77° latitude range and head
design allows it to track low in the sky if it's set up on a hill or deck, and
will clear the motors to avoid having to perform a meridian flip during long
observation or imaging sessions. Guiding the mount is the NexStar+ computer hand
controller. Packed with more than 40,000 objects, it has multiple alignment
procedures to get users observing faster, with multiple automatic tracking rates
to accurately follow fast-moving close objects like the Moon and planets and
slower deep space celestial bodies. With features such as user-defined objects,
customizable guided tours, and expanded info on over 500 objects in its database
even novice users can quickly learn about the Universe.
