Celestron Advanced VX SCT 11

Celestron Advanced VX 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

The powerful Celestron Advanced VX 11" (279 mm) Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) telescope is engineered to deliver optimal imaging and visual observing performance. It features advanced StarBright XLT optical coatings for maximum light transmission and is paired with the Advanced VX mount, which offers extensive features for precise tracking and guidance.

Key Advantages

• SCT Optical Design: The Schmidt-Cassegrain design completely eliminates chromatic aberration, ensuring clear and sharp images.
• StarBright XLT Coatings: Celestron”s proprietary coatings significantly improve light transmission for brighter, more detailed views.
• Advanced Astrophotography Capability: Features All-Star Polar Alignment, autoguider support, and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction (PEC).
• Seamless Tracking: The new mount design allows for viewing or imaging across the meridian without performing a meridian flip.
• Enhanced Stability: Significantly larger base castings and improved motors provide greater rigidity and easily handle slight load imbalances.

Product Description

The Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube features Celestron's StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission, and the SCT design also eliminates chromatic aberration. Combined with the fully featured Advanced VX mount, you have a setup that is ready for both deep-sky imaging and visual observing.

About the Mount: The Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance. Your telescope can now take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You'll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction (PEC). The design allows you to image across the meridian without needing to do a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of the night sky. The Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than the previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease. SkyHunters provides professional consultations to help you maximize your observing potential.

General Features:

• Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear.
• Autoguider port included for long exposure imaging.
• New motors offer improved tracking performance and provide more power to overcome load imbalances.
• Updated industrial design offers more rigidity, less flexure, and improved aesthetics.
• New design allows viewing or imaging across the meridian without interference from the motor housings.
• Improved latitude range: Can be used between 7 -- 77 degrees latitude.
• NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish).
