Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

For those new to astronomy and astroimaging, the Advanced VX 6" Newtonian is an excellent entry-level setup that can grow with you. The Newtonian optical design is excellent for visual observing and offers you the largest aperture for the price. Combined with our Advanced VX mount, you'll have all the tools you need to learn the basics of imaging.

About the Mount

The new Advanced VX 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. 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. Advanced VX 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.

Evelyn ★★★★★

The first clear night I took it out, the wide-field views through the 6" f/5 optical design were breathtaking. That parabolic mirror really does deliver sharp stars right to the edge of the field, making it a joy to explore the Milky Way.

Ella A. ★★★★★

I've been using it for a few weeks now, and the wide-field views of the Milky Way with that f/5 design are absolutely stunning. The integer gear ratios make tracking objects feel smooth and precise, even for a beginner like me.

Natalie U. ★★★★★

I’ve been spending hours scanning the Milky Way, and the integer gear ratios make tracking objects smooth and intuitive. The wide field views are stunning for a scope this size.
