Observe the cosmos with Celestron's advanced EdgeHD optics
If you're looking for a serious astrophotography set up look no further than the Celestron Advanced VX 9.25 EdgeHD Computerised Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope. It includes a 9.25-inch (235mm) OTA with EdgeHD optics and the Advanced VX Computerised German Equatorial Mount which includes a database of over 40,000 celestial objects.
Get ultimate clarity with EdgeHD optics
The 9.25-inch OTA comes equipped with EdgeHD optics that provide edge-to-edge clarity with bright, aberration-free images. The built-in coma corrector eliminates off-axis coma and field curvature, delivering flat field images. This mean there will be no elongated stars at the edge of your stacked images.
This scope features a 2350mm focal length (f/10), making it perfect for observing and capturing detailed images of the Moon and planets. For deep-sky photography, users can achieve a faster f/7 focal ratio by adding the Celestron Reducer Lens .7x for EdgeHD 925 (sold separately), allowing for stunning images of nebulas and galaxies.
Advanced VX mount & tripod
The Celestron Advanced VX mount delivers outstanding performance at an affordable price, making it the perfect GOTO mount for beginner astrophotographers. It incorporates Celestron's most advanced technologies, including All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron CWPI, and Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) software.
Its computerised GOTO system, enhanced by PPEC, ensures precise tracking of celestial objects, resulting in crisp, streak-free images. With a 13.6kg payload capacity, it comfortably supports the 9.25-inch EdgeHD SCT OTA, along with a camera or additional accessories.
Additionally, the dual saddle plate accommodates both C-5 and CGE dovetails, making the Advanced VX mount compatible with virtually any optical tube within its weight limit.
