Celestron Advanced VX 8 inch EdgeHD telescope on German equatorial mount

Celestron

Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD f/10 Telescope

SKU CH-BJQ7-TTR1S

An 8-inch EdgeHD telescope with an Advanced VX mount offering f/10, f/7 and f/2 imaging configurations

  • TypeTelescopes
  • Three focal-ratio options from f/2 to f/10
  • EdgeHD optics keep stars sharp across the sensor
  • Advanced VX mount includes All-Star Polar Alignment
  • SkyAlign and PPEC simplify accurate tracking
  • Fastar/Hyperstar compatibility enables ultra-fast imaging

Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope

The Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope combines Celestron's EdgeHD optical system with the Advanced VX mount. It offers three focal configurations: native f/10, f/7 with a focal reducer, and f/2 via Fastar/Hyperstar compatibility. The mount includes All-Star Polar Alignment, SkyAlign, and permanent periodic error correction. This setup suits astroimagers wanting a portable, versatile platform.

Suited for portable astroimaging

This telescope suits imagers who need a portable mount for dark-sky sites and flexible focal ratios for different targets. Beginners entering astrophotography will appreciate the assisted alignment routines. Buyers who require a larger aperture for deeper light gathering should consider other models. Those needing a fixed observatory-class mount with higher payload capacity should look elsewhere.

Three configurable focal ratios

The optical tube supports three distinct focal ratios: f/10 at the rear cell, f/7 with the 8" EdgeHD focal reducer, and f/2 when used with a Fastar or Hyperstar accessory. This single specification determines the imaging speed and field of view available for your camera. Choose the configuration that matches your target size and exposure requirements.

Questions about this item

What camera adapters do I need to attach a camera to the rear of the telescope for f/10 imaging?

The telescope accepts a camera directly at the rear for native f/10 imaging; specific adapters for your camera brand are sold separately.

Can I use my existing equatorial mount with this optical tube instead of the Advanced VX mount?

The 8" EdgeHD optical tube uses a standard dovetail and mounting hardware compatible with many German equatorial mounts that support its weight.

How do I verify the EdgeHD optics are delivering pinpoint stars across the full CCD sensor after setup?

Take a test exposure of a star field and inspect the corners of the frame; stars should appear as sharp points without coma or elongation to the edge.
