• Advanced VX equatorial mount optimized for astrophotography
• Autoguider support and PEC for long exposure imaging
• Meridian tracking capability without motor housing interference
• StarBright XLT coatings for improved light transmission
• Integrated cooling vents with 60-micron mesh filters
• Suitable for beginners and advanced astroimagers

Product description

The 203 mm aperture and 2032 mm focal length provide detailed views of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects. The EdgeHD optical design delivers a flat, coma-free field with pinpoint stars across the entire image sensor.

The telescope supports several astrophotography configurations. Standard f/10 imaging is ideal for high-resolution photography, while an optional focal reducer enables f/7 imaging. Fastar/Hyperstar compatibility allows ultra-fast f/2 imaging for wide-field astrophotography.

The Advanced VX mount was specifically designed for imaging with compact and mid-sized telescopes. Improved motors provide increased torque and stable tracking performance even with slight load imbalances.

Features such as All-Star Polar Alignment, autoguider compatibility, and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction (PEC) enable accurate long-exposure imaging.

The mount design also allows imaging across the meridian without interference from the motor housings.

The package includes a 9x50 finderscope, adjustable stainless steel tripod, and NexStar+ hand controller with multilingual support.
