Celestron Advanced VX 8" Newtonian
The Advanced VX (AVX) is a trailblazer in the realm of mid-tier telescopes, offering a plethora of features usually reserved for Celestron's high-end German equatorial mounts, all without busting your budget. Coupled with an 8” Newtonian optical tube, this setup is ideal for those just entering the field or for intermediate users. The Newtonian optics are excellent for visual observation and provide the biggest aperture for your buck. The parabolic primary mirror effectively reduces spherical aberration, yielding sharper images at the edges of the field of view. Plus, the 8” Newtonian tube gathers 78% more light compared to its 6” counterpart. The mount itself benefits from Celestron's most innovative technologies like All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI control software, SkyAlign, and a permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC). Whether you're a seasoned astroimager looking for a portable mount to take to dark-sky sites or a newcomer eager to delve into the hobby,
