Celestron 9.25″ SCT Advanced VX Telescope Bundle – CE-12046

The 9.25-inch SCT Advanced VX equatorial mount from Celestron is engineered from the ground up with astro-imaging in mind giving you a seamless observing and imaging experience.

The Celestron Advanced VX SCT is specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for telescopes that weigh 30 lb or less. With the Advanced VX, track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction, or image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip. You can also enjoy features like All-Star Polar Alignment and auto guider support. The Advanced VX has a significantly larger base than Celestron’s CG5 mount, improving stability under heavy loads. 

Take this portable mount to a dark sky site and experience the same quality as a larger stationary mount! The Celestron Advanced VX will serve you for a long time, whether you choose to do visual or imaging work- or both!

More About Celestron’s Optical Tube Assembly

The 9.25-inch f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube assembly is created as a step-up from the classic 8-inch telescope. Gain 33% more light without the weight of the 11-inch. This OTA has an incredible light-gathering ability while still remaining reasonably portable. The f/10 focal ratio is a classic spec when it comes to visual observations and planetary photography.  When it comes time to do some deep-space imaging, an optional focal reducer will effectively widen the field of view.
