Celestron N 150/750 Advanced VX AVX GoTo Telescope

This highly acclaimed 6" Newtonian telescope by Celestron features a diffraction-limited parabolic primary mirror, ensuring crisp stellar images across its wide field of view. Crafted according to Celestron's rigorous quality standards, its optics produce textbook Airy disks for stars.

Weighing just 5kg, the OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) is designed to be lightweight and easy to manage, offering exceptional value for its performance.

The Advanced VX mount is tailor-made for portable astrophotography with small to medium-sized telescopes. Capable of accommodating telescopes up to approximately 14kg, Celestron’s large equatorial mount incorporates advanced features for enhanced functionality. The Periodic Error Correction (PEC) significantly reduces tracking errors inherent in mounts with traditional worm gears, enabling extended exposures. Moreover, it allows seamless tracking across the meridian, ensuring uninterrupted observation of celestial objects. With a broader base compared to its predecessor, the Advanced VX mount offers increased stability, even with heavier loads. Enhanced motors with high torque effectively compensate for minor imbalances.

Experienced astrophotographers will appreciate the mount's portability, facilitating easy transport to remote observation sites. For beginners entering the realm of astronomy or astrophotography, the Advanced VX mount offers a user-friendly experience and reliable performance for years to come.

The mount accepts Vixen-style dovetail rails or wider Celestron rails (CGE-style), but not 3” Losmandy rails.
