Celestron Advanced VX 8in EdgeHD Telescope 51x Magnification

Celestron Advanced VX 8in EdgeHD Telescope 51x Magnification. This Telescope from Celestron combines the groundbreaking new Advanced VX mount with Celestron's best optics the EdgeHD optical system. This setup offers the astroimager maximum versatility - allowing up to 3 different f-stop configurations. Users can attach a camera to the rear of the telescope and shoot at f/10 or attach our 8-inch focal reducer (coming soon) and shoot at f/7. Additionally the Celestron VX Advanced EdgeHD Telescope is Fastar/Hyperstar compatible giving imagers the option to shoot at ultra-fast f/2. No matter which configuration you choose the Celestron EdgeHD 8in Advanced VX Telescope technology gives you pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of the CCD sensor. With an 8-inch optical tube and our portable Advanced VX mount this setup can be easily transported and assembled by one person. You'll also have plenty of load capacity to attach your camera and other accessories. This setup is simple enough for a beginner to use but can also provide years of enjoyment for sophisticated astroimagers. The mount on the Celestron Advanced VX Edge-HD Telescope - 8in 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. With this Celestron Telescope 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. the Celestron EdgeHd Advanced VX Telescope 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.
