Celestron Advanced VX Mount - Performance + Portability
Now with V-style and D-style mounting.
Engineered from the ground up with astroimaging in mind, the Celestron Advanced VX mount provides you with many of the features found on Celestron’s most sophisticated German equatorial mounts, at an extremely affordable price.
The Advanced VX mount 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 this portable mount 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.
- Holds a maximum instrument capacity of 13.6kg
- Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear.
