• The Celestron 8-inch EdgeHD Advanced VX Telescope is equipped with GoTo and EdgeHD optic technology yielding optimal imaging performance through long exposure tracking and a large latitudinal range, while also delivering high-definition astroimages.

  Permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) on the Celestron Advanced VX mount eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear and greatly improves long exposure tracking while Imaging across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, will have you seamlessly imaging the best part of the night sky

  Edge HD optics not only creates rounder/ more pleasing stars but improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. When it comes to the Celestron EdgeHD series coupled with Celestron's StarBright XLT coating group on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light across the widest visual and photographic spectrum... It's a vision you'll never forget!

  Experienced imagers and amateur astronomers alike will love taking this portable Telescope to a dark sky site, knowing that they can experience much of the performance of their larger stationary mount. Whether you wish to do visual or imaging work, you can rest easy knowing that this Telescope will serve you for a long time to come.

  KEY FEATURES

  • Mirror Support Knobs- Flexible Tension Clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount.
  • Tube Vents- Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror.  The vents are outfitted with an integrated 95-micron mesh filter.
  • Fastar Versatility- All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar compatible for imaging down to f/2 with optional accessories. 
  • Brighter Star Images- Light becomes more concentrated when focused precisely. This maximizes image brightness. 
  • GoTo Technology- Fully automated mount with database of 40,000+ celestial objects will automatically locate and track objects for you
  • Updated Industrial Design- Offers more rigidity, less flexure, and improved aesthetics.
  • Large Latitudinal Range- Can be used between 7 and 77 degrees latitude.
  • Improved Motors- Offer more torque for optimal tracking performance and provide more power to overcome minor load imbalances.
