Celestron Mount Advanced VX AVX GoTo

The Advanced VX mount is tailored for mobile astrophotography with small to medium-sized telescopes, offering robust functions for telescopes weighing up to approximately 14kg. Its well-engineered design includes PEC (Periodic Error Correction), significantly reducing periodic errors inherent in mounts with traditional worm gears, enabling long-exposure imaging. Moreover, it allows tracking objects well beyond the meridian without immediate crossover, ensuring uninterrupted observation of the most captivating parts of the sky. Compared to its predecessor, the Advanced VX boasts a wider base, enhancing stability when handling heavier loads. Enhanced motors with high torque provide better compensation for minor imbalances.

For seasoned astrophotographers, its portability to remote dark-sky locations is a notable advantage. Whether you're embarking on your astronomy journey or diving into astrophotography, the Advanced VX simplifies your initial steps and offers reliable performance for years to come.

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