SKU CH-F5NH-EY6GW

Equatorial telescope mount with GoTo tracking, dual saddle plate and polar axis finder; supports 30 lbs payload on a 2" stainless steel tripod

  • Stable viewing with 2" stainless steel tripod legs
  • Supports telescopes up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg)
  • Accurate tracking via sidereal, solar and lunar rates
  • Computerised GoTo finds and follows objects automatically
  • Portable German equatorial design for dark-sky sites

Mid-level German equatorial mount

The Advanced VX is Celestron's smallest German equatorial mount, offering computerized GoTo tracking for a wide range of telescopes. It brings observatory-class features such as All-Star Polar Alignment and permanent periodic error correction to a portable platform. The mount includes a dual saddle plate compatible with both Vixen and Losmandy dovetail bars. A NexStar+ hand controller provides direct access to all functions.

30 lb payload capacity and tripod stability

The mount supports up to 30 lbs (13.6 kg) of instruments, allowing secure attachment of various optical tubes and imaging accessories. Its 2-inch stainless steel tripod legs deliver exceptional rigidity to minimize vibrations during long exposures. The package includes a 12 lb counterweight to balance typical payloads. An accessory tray adds further stability and convenient storage for eyepieces.

Built-in polar axis finder for alignment

A Celestron Polar Axis Finder is included to simplify and accelerate the polar alignment process in the field. This optical aid lets you quickly centre the mount on the celestial pole without relying solely on software routines. Faster alignment means more observing time at dark-sky sites. The feature is especially valuable for astrophotographers who require precise tracking from the start.
