The RASA 6 combines speed, portability, and precision to deliver an exceptional astroimaging experience. Its ultra-fast f/2.2 optics allow for shorter sub-exposures and reduced total exposure time, often eliminating the need for autoguiding. Weighing just 8.4 lb and featuring a CG-5 dovetail, it is easy to transport and set up for imaging sessions in a variety of locations. Designed for high-resolution imaging, its advanced optical system is capable of sub-arcsecond resolution, revealing intricate structures in galaxies and nebulae when paired with a suitable camera and favorable sky conditions.

With a 3.8° field of view optimized for sensors up to 22mm diagonal, the RASA 6 excels at capturing wide celestial targets in remarkable detail. Celestron’s XLT coatings maximize light transmission for bright, high-contrast images. Built-in features such as a filter drawer and cooling fan enhance convenience, while optional upgrades allow for further customization. Paired with the Advanced VX mount, the RASA 6 benefits from stable, precise tracking on a portable German equatorial platform that supports payloads up to 30 lb, ensuring a solid foundation for deep-sky imaging.

The Celestron 6" RASA pairs seamlessly with the Advanced VX mount, a versatile GoTo German equatorial mount designed for stability and precision. With a 30 lb payload capacity, it provides a solid platform for imaging setups, even when equipped with accessories such as the StarSense Autoguider, dew prevention systems, or a focus motor.

The Advanced VX mount includes All-Star Polar Alignment and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC), simplifying alignment and tracking. Its computerized GoTo functionality, controlled through the NexStar+ hand controller, allows for quick and intuitive object location and tracking. Together, the RASA 6 and Advanced VX create a portable imaging system capable of producing high-quality deep-sky images.

Every advanced imaging system requires powerful software, and this kit includes Celestron PWI Telescope Control Software, developed in collaboration with PlaneWave Instruments. CPWI offers a graphical planetarium interface with PointXP advanced mount modeling, allowing you to add over 100 alignment points for precise accuracy.

It also integrates smoothly with ASCOM, enabling control of your Advanced VX mount through a variety of third-party applications. Additional features, such as the ability to save and reload alignment settings and automatically park the telescope, make it ideal for observatory setups.
