The Celestron Advanced VX 6" Schmidt-Cassegrain is ideal for astroimagers and visual observers seeking a portable telescope with 40% more light gathering ability than a 5" scope. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design eliminates chromatic aberration, making it an excellent choice for entry-level astroimaging. Mounted on the Advanced VX equatorial platform, it provides advanced technologies including All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI control software, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC). With a 1500mm focal length and 10 lb optical tube measuring 16 inches long, this system strikes an excellent balance between optical performance and portability for both visual observation and astrophotography.
