Aperture

Celestron paired a GoTo mount with a large-aperture OTA to produce this Advanced VX 8 200mm f/5 GoTo Reflector Telescope. Pairing the fully motorized and computer-controlled mount with a large Newtonian reflector scope produces an observation platform optimized for lunar, planetary, and deep-space viewing and astroimaging.

Celestron Advanced VX GoTo German Equatorial Mount

Engineered and optimized for astrophotography with mid-sized optical tube assemblies (OTAs), the Celestron Advanced VX GoTo German Equatorial Mount delivers the performance required for clear images through the use of dual-axis low-cog DC servo motors and backlash compensation. Added to this are encoders on the motors and Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC), which help to improve positioning and tracking precision and ensure your target object stays centered for long-exposure photography techniques. Supporting the mount is a large 2" stainless steel tripod that has a wide stance for stability on most terrain and a center tray that holds 1.25" and 2" eyepieces and accessories and acts as a leg lock to further stabilize while helping to minimize vibrations.

The brain of the system is the NexStar+ computer controller, which is equipped with a database of over 40,000 objects, including the planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and the complete Messier catalog; it can also be programmed with up 100 custom user-defined objects with filters to create custom object lists. Its intuitive menu-driven user interface makes observing the heavens fast and easy; features such as guided tours, extended information on 200 popular objects, and multiple alignment options make the NexStar+ controller an invaluable tool to new users and experienced stargazers alike.

Advanced VX Mount

30-pound payload capacity
Dual-axis low-cog DC servo motors
Dual motor encoders improve tracking and location accuracy with reduced vibrations
7-77° latitude range
Uninterrupted tracking below meridian to enable observation from a raised location such as a balcony or hilltop
Integrated 12" counterweight bar with one 12-pound counterweight
Vixen-style CG-5 dovetail saddle

NexStar+ Hand Controller

40,000+ object database
100 user-defined programmable celestial or terrestrial objects
Enhanced information on over 200 objects
Nine slew speeds: 4°/sec, 2°/sec, 1°/sec, 0.3°/sec, 32x, 16x, 8x, 4x, 2x
Three tracking rates: Sidereal, Solar, Lunar
Multiple alignment procedures: Two-star, One-star, Solar system, Quick-align, Last-align
Sky Tour Mode: System seeks out the best objects for the date and time and automatically slews to them
Identify Mode: Use to identify an unknown object in the field of view, or to find other celestial objects that are close to where the user is viewing
Anti-backlash compensation: Trains out the intrinsic play between gears for more precise slewing and tracking
Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC): System learns its internal tracking errors and improves over time for more precise tracking, requiring fewer corrections
Built-in instructions guide you through the alignment procedures
4-line, 18-character LCD display with a 19-button fiber-optic backlit LED keypad
RS-232 comm port

Tripod

Tubular stainless steel legs
2" leg diameter
44-64" height-adjustment range
Center tray holds 1.25 and 2" eyepieces and locks legs in place for greater stability and vibration reduction
Removable hand controller holder can be moved to avoid cord wrap during long observation sessions
Weight: 18 pounds

Celestron 12-Pound Counterweight for Advanced VX

The 12 lb Counterweight for Advanced VX from Celestron helps to counterbalance the mass of a Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube mounted on the Advanced VX equatorial mount. This telescope accessory is useful for off-setting the additional weight of imaging accessories like a camera or tele-converter.

Celestron Advanced VX 8 200mm f/5 Reflector Telescope Optical Tube

The Celestron Advanced VX 8 200mm f/5.0 Reflector Telescope Optical Tube is optimized for lunar, planetary and deep-space viewing and astroimaging. Its large primary parabolic mirror draws in copious amounts of light—even from distant deep-space objects like binary stars—and a fast focal ratio ensures views are bright and crisp across a wide field while also allowing for short exposure times. The OTA attaches to any mount using a Vixen-style dovetail plate for fast assembly and breakdown.

Optical Tube Assembly

200mm (8") aperture is ideal for lunar & planetary viewing with the ability to resolve bright deep sky objects
Fast f/5.0 focal ratio ensures bright and clear views with a wide viewing angle
1000mm focal length has a high magnification potential
Newtonian reflector optical design is lightweight and easy to use despite its large aperture
Fully coated optics increase light transmission, and improve contrast and color rendition
Resolution: Rayleigh: 0.7 arcsec; Dawes Limit: 0.58 arcsec
Secondary mirror obstruction: 2.25"; 28% by diameter;7.81% by area
Sturdy rack-and-pinion focuser

Mounting

Optical tube only, mount and tripod required for proper use
Vixen-style CG-5 dovetail bar is compatible with a wide array of mount heads
Weight: 14 pounds

Accessories

Eyepiece:

20mm focal length produces 50x magnification
1.25" barrel diameter
Accepts most astronomical eyepiece filters
Fold-down rubber eyecup prevents peripheral light interference

Finderscope:

Relatively low 9x magnification provides a wide field of view for fast manual acquisition of subjects and easy star-hopping navigation
50mm objective keeps the overall weight low
Mounting bracket included
