All about the product
Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope
Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD combines the EdgeHD optical system with the Advanced VX equatorial mount, providing a versatile solution for visual observations and astrophotography. The system supports multiple imaging configurations: f/10, f/7 with a focal reduction, and extremely fast Fastar/Hyperstar f/2 mode.
Key Advantages
- EdgeHD optical system with coma and field curvature correction
- Fastar/Hyperstar compatibility for ultra-fast f/2 photography
- Advanced VX mount optimized for astrophotography
- Autoguider and PEC support for long exposures
- Meridian tracking without interference from the motor housing
- StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission
- Integrated cooling system with 60-micron filters
- Suitable for beginners and advanced astrophotographers
Product Description
A 203 mm aperture and a 2032 mm focal length allow for detailed observation of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. EdgeHD optical system provides a flat field of view and bright stars across the entire sensor area.
The telescope supports multiple astrophotography configurations. The standard f/10 mode is designed for high-resolution imaging, the focal reducer allows the use of f/7 mode, while the Fastar/Hyperstar system enables ultra-fast f/2 imaging.
Advanced VX mount is designed for use with compact and medium-sized telescopes. Enhanced motors provide greater torque and stable tracking even with slight load imbalance.
All-Star Polar Alignment , autoguider support, and programmable PEC system allow for precise long-exposure photography.
The mount's design allows for photography across the meridian without interference from the motor housing.
The package includes a 9x50 finderscope, adjustable stainless steel tripod, and NexStar+ hand controller with multi-language support.
