The Schmidt-Cassegrain optical design on this Telescope from Celestron is ideal for imagers and visual observers looking for a telescope that is much more portable than the reflector or refractor.
The Schmidt-Cassegrain design of the Celestron SCT 6in Telescope also eliminates chromatic aberration, making it a good choice for entry-level astroimaging. The Celestron 6in Advanced VX Telescope mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support.
With this Celestron Telescope you'll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. The Celestron 6in Advanced VX Telescope features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads.
Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.
