Celestron 9.25" EdgeHD - Advanced VX

Technical Details

Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope The 9.25" EdgeHD Advanced VX (AVX) telescope, a specialised apparatus for astrograph-quality visuals, establishes a benchmark for mid-range telescopes. Its EdgeHD optical tube, coupled with the robust Advanced VX equatorial mount and tripod, delivers unrivalled planetary views, intimate lunar surface observations (inclusive of craters and maria), and breathtaking deep sky imagery.

EdgeHD Optical Design

EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt optical system that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view.

True Astrograph Quality

EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across the largest imaging sensors available today.

Advanced VX Mount & Tripod

The Advanced VX mount is designed to provide superior performance for smaller telescopes while taking advantage of Celestron's most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).

Or, if you're new to imaging, Advanced VX will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.

Computerised German Equatorial mount

The Advanced VX is the smallest of Celestron's German equatorial mounts. The computerised GoTo capability automatically tracks objects as they move across the night sky.

The Advanced VX mount includes ports for a hand control, an autoguider, and 2 AUX ports for optional accessories. The NexStar+ hand control gives you instant access to all the functions your mount has to offer. With automatic slewing and menu descriptions, astronomers of all skill levels can master this mount in just a few observing sessions.

Payload capacity

Celestron's payload capacity does not include the weight of the counterweights.

Dual saddle plate

As of early 2019, Advanced VX mounts include a dual saddle plate that accommodates both CG-5 and CGE-style dovetails. Switching between the two saddle plates is as simple as moving the hand knobs into a separate set of holes.

Software

Celestron's experts co-developed CPWI with the engineers at PlaneWave Instruments. The result is an all-in-one solution offering you many of the same features used on PlaneWave's observatory-class telescopes.

Graphical planetarium interface with PointXP advanced mount modelling allows you to add 100+ points to your alignment model for the most accurate pointing and tracking possible Ideal for remote observatory setups: save and re-load your alignment and park your scope Provides a complete ASCOM telescope interface to allow control of the telescope from third party software applications For more information on CPWI and to see the user interface, click here.
