Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope

The Celestron Advanced VX (AVX) 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope is a specialized optical system designed to deliver astrograph-quality images while providing exceptional versatility for both visual astronomy and astrophotography. Combining the advanced EdgeHD optical tube with the sturdy Advanced VX equatorial mount and tripod, this setup offers a powerful platform for exploring everything from nearby lunar and planetary details to distant deep-sky objects. The 9.25" EdgeHD optical system is designed to provide high-quality views with the performance needed for serious imaging. Its generous aperture makes it possible to explore the planets in impressive detail while also revealing intricate features across the Moon, including craters and maria. For deep-sky observers and astrophotographers, the Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD provides a capable platform for capturing stunning deep-sky images. The combination of EdgeHD optics and the Advanced VX equatorial mount creates a versatile system that can support a wide range of observing and imaging applications.

EdgeHD Optical Design

EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt optical system that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system reduces more than just off-axis star coma; it provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across the largest imaging sensors available today.

Features

• 9.25” (235mm) f/10 EdgeHD optical tube fully corrects for coma and field curvature, delivering a truly flat field
• Native f/10 focal ratio can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects—or image at f/7 with optional focal reducer and f/2 with third-party lens assembly
• Premium patented StarBright XLT optical coatings provide maximum light transmission
• Compact and portable Advanced VX mount offers a maximum instrument capacity of 30 lb with the same rigidity as our larger mounts and minimal flexure
• Every feature an astroimager wants: PEC, an autoguider port, the ability to image across the meridian, and more.
• Dual saddle plate is compatible with narrow CG-5 dovetails and wider CGE dovetail.
• Accessories included: 23mm eyepiece - 2", 1.25” Star Diagonal, and a 6x30 finderscope
