Celestron Advanced VX 6" Refractor Telescopes

The Celestron Advanced VX (AVX) 6" Refractor Telescope delivers a capable mid-level observing and imaging platform by combining a high-contrast refractor optical design with Celestron’s advanced German equatorial mount technology. The Advanced VX brings many of the features found on Celestron’s more sophisticated equatorial mounts to a highly accessible setup, making it suitable for both developing astronomers and experienced imagers. The 6-inch refractor design provides an unobstructed aperture, allowing the full aperture to contribute to the incoming light path. Combined with an f/8 focal ratio, the telescope is designed to provide high contrast when viewing celestial objects, making it particularly well suited to detailed observations of the Moon and planets. The Advanced VX mount is engineered to provide strong performance for smaller telescopes while incorporating Celestron technologies that simplify setup and support accurate tracking. All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC) give users advanced tools for both observing and astrophotography. For experienced imagers, the portable Advanced VX mount makes it practical to travel to dark-sky locations while retaining many of the conveniences associated with larger observatory mounts. For newcomers, it provides a capable foundation for getting started in astrophotography and can continue to support your needs as your skills and experience develop.
