Celestron SC 279/2800 Advanced VX 11" GoTo

Advanced VX have Celestron´s StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission, and the Schmidt-Cassegrain design also eliminates chromatic aberration.

Combined with our fully featured Advanced VX mount, you have a setup that is ready for both imaging and visual observing.

About the Mount

The new Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for telescopes. Now your telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. You'll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.
