  • Cutting edge optics with the 11" SCT design, an astrophotographer must have!
  • Starbright XLT Coatings renders excellent quality views and images
  • The Fastar application turns an f/10 system to an f/2 for very short exposure times
  • Lightweight and portable enough for relatively easy transportation
  • PEC, also known as Periodic Error Correction corrects errors in the worm gear making tracking more efficienty and accurate
  • Viewing and imaging across the meridian is possible without motor interference
  • The Celestron Advanced VX Equatorial mount has excellent latitude range from 7-77 degrees latitude! More than enough range for most imagers and viewers
  • Payload up to 30 lbs, enough to maintain an 11" Schmidt Cassegrain optical tube!
  • Users can easily align with Celestron's All-Star Polar Alignment making viewing and imaging sessions easy to begin
  • Dual saddle plate that works with both CG-5 and CGE style dovetails

 

Celestron Advanced VX 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

Celestron - C11-A XLT - 11" SCT OTA for CGE/CGX - 91036-XLT

The Celestron C11 11" SCT Optical Tube Assembly is an excellent gem for serious astrophotgraphers who enjoy crisp images with shorter exposure times. Being lightweight with its aluminum design, it is only 24" in length with a weight of 27.5 pounds, thus still making is reasonably portable to be taken to locations for viewing or imaging with one person.

Using the Celestron Starbright XLT Coatings, high contrast views at high magnification are a walk in the park! The coatings increase contrast and light transmission; significantly improving image quality to very superior standards which is a major plus for shorter exposure astrophotography. When taking into account the durability of the Fastar system as well as the f/6.3 focal reducer, making shorter exposure times even better at 25 times shorter at f/2 than its typical f/10 optical focal ratio.

Celestron Advanced VX Computerized GoTo EQ Mount - 91519

The Celestron Advanced VX mount provides you with many of the features found on Celestron’s most sophisticated German Equatorial Mounts, at an extremely affordable price! Astroimagers and visual Astronomers will appreciate the increased portability of this GoTo equatorial mount due to its lighter weight, while still using the powerful alignment and slewing tools found in larger mounts like the CGE and CGEM. The Advanced VX is stout enough to handle an 11" SCT due to the very solid stainless steel Tripod with 2" diameter legs. The All-Star Polar Alignment feature makes polar alignment a breeze. The programmable Periodic Error Correction built into the mount also assists in steady imaging since it eliminates tracking errors in the mount's brass drive gears thus minimizing image shifting during longer exposures. Due to the intelligent design of the VX, the meridian can also be imaged without flipping the GoTo equatorial mount around - a major plus for astrophotography! The Celestron Advanced VX Mount can be used between 7-77 degrees latitude and utilizes the NexStar hand controller for slewing and locating objects.
