Celestron Advanced VX C8 SC Goto Telescope
The Celestron C8 on the new Advanced VX GoTo mount is our recommendation for mobile astronomy and astrophotography. We hardly know a telescope which combines comparable opticel performance with this mobility. The Advanced VX C8 can be stored easily in any car. The telescope is set-up and ready for use within a few minutes.

Celestron has been offering the C8 Schmidt-Cassegrain for decades and has improved and refined this telescope permanently. The C8 is equally suited for observing and astrophotography. The telescope convinces with a short length, easy handling and a sharp, contrasty and bright image. For the C8, we also offer photographic correctors which allow astrophotography on a high level.

With the practical internal focusing you can get into focus with any accessories, from a binoviewer to a photographic reducer/corrector.


The equatorial GoTo mount AVX from Celestron:

The equatorial GoTo mount Advanced VX holds the C8 with very good stability. It also offers power reserves for accessories like heavy CCD cameras and guiding scopes. Due to the accurate tracking, we recommend this mount especially for astrophotography. It locates any object in the sky automatically. There are more than 40,000 objects stored in the data base. The mount is delivered with a stable stainless steel tripod which can be extended up to 1400 mm height.
15 kg maximum payload of the mount
Menue language selectable
Electronic polar alignment assistent for accurate alignment
Autoguiding port for astrophotography


Further information about this mount can be found in the AS-VX presentation.

The advantages of the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes:
StarBright XLT coating for a brighter and contrastier image
Hand-corrected optics with very good sharpness even for observing moon and planets
Internal focusing with preloaded ball bearings for precise focusing
Adaption of correctors, focal reducers, 2" accessories or binoviewers trouble-free possible due to wide focusing range
Astrophotography with f/2 possible with the Starizone HyperStar adapter
