Celestron Advanced VX GoTo mount for telescopes up to 14kg also very suitable for astrophotography

The new Celestron Mount Advanced VX mount sets a new standard for mid-size telescopes.

The mount has been completely redeveloped, taking into account in particular the requirements for astrophotography. The Advanced VX offers many features of the large parallactic Celestron mounts, and at a very attractive price.

The Advanced VX is designed as the ideal platform for astrophotography with small and medium telescopes. For telescopes up to 14 kg, the sophisticated functions of our large parallactic mounts are now available. Thanks to PEC (Periodic Error Correction), the periodic worm error that occurs on all mounts with classic worm gearboxes can be compensated for, so that even long exposures are possible. In addition, you can track objects far beyond the meridian without having to swivel immediately. So you can watch the most interesting part of the sky without interruption. In addition, the Advanced VX has a much broader base than its predecessor, which increases the stability even at high loads. The improved engines have greater torque and can better compensate for a slight imbalance.

Experienced photographers will appreciate how easily this mount can be transported to a dark observation site. If you're new to astronomy or astrophotography, the Advanced VX makes getting started easier and can serve you well over many years.


A quick overview of the advantages of the Advanced VX mount:

- Integer gear ratio and permanently programmable screw error correction avoid recurring tracking errors due to the worm gear

- New engines provide better tracking and deliver more power to compensate for uneven load distribution

- New design for improved stability and rigidity

- No "meridian flip" - the new design does not have to be swiveled at the meridian passage, so that the motor housing does not abut the mount.

- Autoguider connection for astrophotography

- Can be used at latitudes between 7 ° and 77 °

- Improved electronics with larger memory for future expansion

- NexStar + hand controller with five languages ​​(German, English, French, Italian, Spanish)



Alignment made easy

With the AVX, you no longer have to cope with the Pole Star with the Polsucher: Align the mount roughly north, make a 2-star alignment, and then call the All-Star Polar Alignment. The software now helps you to exactly mount the mount, even if you do not see the Polarstern. They look comfortable through the telescope and do not have to kneel under the (optionally still available) Polsucher.
