The Celestron Advanced VX mount for mobile use
Celestron Advanced VX mounts are the perfect choice for medium-sized telescopes up to approx. 14 kg tube weight. The mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance. The Advanced VX provides you with many of the features found on Celestron´s most sophisticated German equatorial mounts, at an extremely attractive price and best transportability: The equatorial head itself weighs only 7.7 kg!

Advantages of the AVX GoTo Mount:
Solid castings and high torque drive & mechanics -

As successor of the reliable Advanced GT, the Advanced VX mount not only offers big adjustment handles and much stronger motors - offering higher torque for handling load imbalances with ease - but also a much larger polar block and base. The stronger dovetail clamp features two fastening handles. Take images across the meridian without doing a meridian flip! Tracking is possible up to 20° after meridian passage.
Modern software

The AVX mount comes with the NexStar+ handcontrol unit, offering high performance software features and greatly increased cold resistance. This modern computer control features more than 40.000 objects as well as a multi-language menu on demand. Thanks to the integrated real-time clock the start-up procedure is very fast. The software automatically targets the reference stars, you only need to centre them in the eyepiece. Even the sun can be used as a reference object!
Polar alignment made easy

With AVX-control there is no need to center onto Polaris: roughly align the mount to north, perform a 2-Star-Alignment procedure and start the All-Star- Polar-Alignment. Now the software helps you to precisely align the mount, even if you can´t see Polaris at all! You can look comfortably through the telescope - no need to kneel behind the mount and use the optional polar axis finder.
Versatile upgradeable

AVX features an Mini USB port as well as an autoguider and two AUX ports. Here you can connect optional expansion modules, for example:
" the StarSense Module which aligns the mount and centers its reference stars automatically and perfectly within 3 minutes, or
" the SkyQ Link 2 Module to navigate your telescope with any smart device and Celestron´s free app "SkyPortal"

Betreff: The Celestron Advanced VX mount is way too cheap ;) ... Dominik Dierick 14.August2013


This mount is *fantastic*. I already had good experiences visually, but photographically it works as good as my former Mach 1 GTO. Periodic error is extremely low, guiding stays below 0.1 pixel with an STT8300 camera on my TMB 92SS - on my balcony, with all environment vibrations from busses and trains in the nearby station. Would you believe I did not obtain these values with the Mach 1??? Crazy!!




Question:
Can I work with a dual mount??

Answer from Teleskop-Service:
Yes, every Celestron GoTo mount can be used with a dual mount, where the telescopes are rotated 90°.

The software has the option (OTA Orientation), this menu item can be found either under Utilities or under Settings. There you can choose if the tube points to north (default) or to east or west when the mount is in the home position. You have the home position when the index marks are in line.

"I have recently ordered and received Celestron AVX GoTo Mount for my skywatcher 190 mm MakNewton. I am very pleased with this mount. I am not an astrophotografer and cannot yet say to which degree thee mount tracks accurate, but other reviews has been very positive. The mount gives a feel of high mechanical and electrical quality as well as beautiful design. Under the sky everything functions well. Only one thing has been frustrating. Sometimes using the Go To Star Tour the mount suggest an object that lies beyound the horizon! Not very smart regarding the software, but maybee I am the one who operates this function wrong. I will update about this at a later date. All in all very impressive mount and not that heavy to carry. Very safisfied also with the quick delivery. 5 stars."

"Not much occasion to use it so far. Only glitch is that the hand control seems not to have an internal battery. Thus, every time you unplug it, all data need to be reentered...."

"Geniale Montierung! Mit der wirklich ausführlicher deutschsprachigen Anleitung ist die Inbetriebnahme überhaupt kein Problem. Goto klappt auch ohne perfektes Einnorden, und das ""All-Star-Polar-Align"" ersetzt den Polsucher und spart das Gekrieche! Auch die Anbindung an Stellarium klappt sofort mit dem mitgelieferten Kabel."
