Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope

A marvel of modern astronomy, the Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope is a high-quality, durable, and powerful tool designed for both novice and experienced stargazers. This innovative telescope boasts a large 9.25" aperture, allowing for an influx of light that results in brighter, clearer images of celestial bodies. The EdgeHD optical design is a standout feature of this advanced telescope. This aplanatic, flat field Schmidt optical system is designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. More than just reducing off-axis star coma, the EdgeHD optics create a focal plane that is over three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and significantly flatter than competing coma-free designs. This ensures visibly sharp stars across the largest imaging sensors available today, providing astrograph-quality images that set a new standard in mid-level telescopes.The Advanced VX mount and tripod provide superior performance for smaller telescopes, incorporating Celestron's most advanced technologies. These include 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 beginner in the field, the Advanced VX will meet your needs and grow with your hobby.The computerized German Equatorial mount is another highlight, offering automatic tracking of objects as they traverse 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 offers instant access to all the functions your mount has to offer, making it user-friendly for astronomers of all skill levels.The Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope comes complete with a 25mm eyepiece, a 1.25" star diagonal, and a 6x30 finderscope. For those seeking to expand their field of view without sacrificing performance, the optional EdgeHD reducer lens can bring your focal ratio down to f/7. An optional Barlow lens can provide additional magnification for high-resolution planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging, ensuring this telescope is a versatile addition to any stargazer's toolkit.
