About this product

Model: c6n-vx-32054
Part Number: 32054

For those new to astronomy and astroimaging, the Advanced VX 6” Newtonian is an excellent entry-level setup that can grow with you. The Newtonian optical design is excellent for visual observing and offers you the largest aperture for the price. Combined with Celestron's Advanced VX mount, you’ll have all the tools you need to learn the basics of imaging.

The new Advanced VX mount is specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Features include permanent programmable periodic error correction, all star polar alignment, autoguider support and the ability to image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Compared to the earlier CG5-GT mount the Advanced VX also has larger base castings for improved stability under heavier loads and upgraded motors for more torque.

FEATURES

6” (150mm) f/5 optical design gives excellent wide field views
Parabolic primary mirror minimizes spherical aberration to produce a better image
Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear
New motors offer improved tracking performance & provide more power to overcome load imbalances
Updated industrial design offers more rigidity, less flexure and improved aesthetics
New design allows viewing or imaging across the meridian without interference from the motors housings
Improved latitude range, can be used between 7 – 77 degrees latitude
Improved electronics contain increased memory for future expansion
NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish)
