Over the years, the Celestron Advanced Vx 8"" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope WiFi Kit has set a new benchmark in the realm of mid-level telescopes. This high-quality, advanced telescope offers a multitude of features typically found on Celestron's top-tier German equatorial mounts, but at a much more accessible price point. This powerful telescope is a perfect fit for both imagers and visual observers who desire a more portable option than a reflector or refractor. The 8"" optical tube of this innovative telescope boasts an impressive 84% more light gathering ability than a 6"" telescope, ensuring clear and detailed views of celestial objects. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design of this telescope effectively eliminates chromatic aberration, making it an excellent choice for astroimaging. The Advanced Vx mount is engineered to deliver superior performance, leveraging Celestron's most advanced technologies such as All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron Pwi telescope control software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (Ppec). Whether you're an experienced imager seeking a portable mount for a dark sky site or a beginner in imaging, the Advanced Vx will cater to your needs and grow with your hobby for years to come. The Advanced Vx is the smallest of Celestron's German equatorial mounts, featuring computerized GoTo capability that automatically tracks objects as they traverse the night sky.
