Celestron Advanced VX 8-inch 200mm Newtonian Telescope - motorised, computer-controlled

Brand New Factory Packed stock on Clearance Sale with full Celestron Australian Warranty

The Advanced VX (AVX) sets a standard in mid-level telescopes, providing many of the features found on Celestron’s most sophisticated German equatorial mounts at an extremely affordable price. The Celestron Advanced VX 8-inch 200mm Newtonian Telescope - motorised, computer-controlled is an excellent entry- to mid-level setup that can grow with you. The Newtonian optical design is excellent for visual observing and offers you the largest aperture for the price. The parabolic primary mirror minimises spherical aberration, producing a sharper image near the edge of the field of view.

The 8” Newtonian optical tube offers 78% more light-gathering ability than the 6” Newtonian optical tube. The Advanced VX mount is designed to deliver superior performance for smaller telescopes while leveraging Celestron’s most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).

If you’re an experienced imager, you’ll love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount. Or, if you’re new to imaging, Advanced VX will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.

Computerised German Equatorial Mount

The Advanced VX is the smallest of Celestron’s German equatorial mounts. The computerised GoTo capability automatically tracks objects as they move across the night sky. The Advanced VX mount includes ports for a hand control, an autoguider, and 2 AUX ports for optional accessories. The NexStar+ hand control gives you instant access to all the functions your mount offers. With automatic slewing and menu descriptions, any level of astronomer can master this mount in just a few observing sessions. The Advanced VX also has an impressive tripod for its class, with 2” diameter steel tripod legs providing an extra-wide stance for improved stability.

Payload Capacity

The payload capacity for the Advanced VX is 30 lb. It offers a sturdy platform for any Advanced VX optical tube, even when paired with optional accessories such as StarSense AutoAlign, a Focus Motor, a finderscope, and a camera. Celestron’s payload capacity does not include the weight of the counterweights.

Dual Saddle Plate

As of early 2019, Advanced VX mounts include a dual-saddle plate that accommodates both CG-5 and CGE-style dovetail mounts. Switching between the two saddle plates is as simple as moving the hand knobs into a separate set of holes. You can use an Advanced VX mount with virtually any optical tube within its weight limit. Compatible with Vixen-format dovetails 100mm or longer; not compatible with Losmandy D-format plates (regardless of plate manufacturer).

Starry Night Software

Included with your purchase is a free download of Celestron’s Starry Night Special Edition Software. This advanced software from Simulation Curriculum provides detailed information on celestial objects and helps you plan your next observing or imaging session. The Special Edition software also lets you control your telescope via your computer.
