Home Telescopes Celestron Telescopes Celestron Advanced VX Telescopes Celestron Advanced VX 9.25 Edge HD Telescope
The 9.25 EdgeHD Advanced VX (AVX) telescope is a specialized instrument designed for astrograph-quality images that sets a new standard in mid-level telescopes. With its EdgeHD optical tube and the sturdy Advanced VX equatorial mount and tripod, this kit provides unparalleled views of the planets, up-close views of the lunar surface (including craters and maria), and stunning deep sky images.EdgeHD Optical DesignEdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt optical system that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system reduces more than just off-axis star coma; it provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. Advanced VX Mount & TripodThe Advanced VX mount is designed to provide superior performance for smaller telescopes while taking advantage of Celestrons most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC). If youre an experienced imager, youll love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount. Or, if youre new to imaging, Advanced VX will help you get started with the hobby and keep up with your needs for years to come.Included ItemsAdvanced VX Equatorial Head | 925 edge HD OTA | Tripod | Accessory Tray | 2 x 12 lbs counterweights | NexStar+ Hand Control | DC Power Cable (item# 18769) | Hand Control Holster | 23mm eyepiece | Finderscope 9x50 | Star Diagonal | 2" with 1.25" adapter

The optical system reduces more than just off-axis star coma; it provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. True Astrograph QualityEdgeHD 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.

The computerized 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. The Advanced VX also has an impressive tripod for its class with 2-diameter steel tripod legs, providing an extra-wide stance for improved stability.Payload capacity - The payload capacity for the Advanced VX is 30 pounds. It offers a sturdy platform for the 9.25 EdgeHD optical tube, even when paired with optional accessories like StarSense AutoAlign, Focus Motor, a finderscope, and a camera. 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. This means you can use your Advanced VX mount not only with the 9.25 EdgeHD, but virtually any optical tube within Advanced VXs weight limit. The mount is compatible with Vixen format dovetails 100mm or longer, but not compatible with Losmandy D format plates (regardless of plate manufacturer).SoftwareCelestron PWI Telescope Control: Your Ultimate Astronomy Software - All current Celestron computerized telescopes include Celestron PWI (CPWI), the most advanced astronomy software provided with any consumer-grade telescope. Celestrons 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 PlaneWaves 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 applicationsStarry Night Software - Also included with your purchase is a free download of Celestrons Starry Night Special Edition Software. This advanced software by Simulation Curriculum offers detailed information about celestial objects and helps you plan your next observing or imaging session. The Special Edition software also includes telescope control via your PC.AccessoriesThe Advanced VX 9.25 EdgeHD comes complete with a 25mm eyepiece, a 1.25 star diagonal, and a 6x30 finderscope. To increase your field of view without sacrificing performance, add the optional EdgeHD reducer lens, bringing your focal ratio down to f/7. An optional Barlow lens can provide additional magnification for high-resolution planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. And, of course, all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging. Each EdgeHD tube is fitted with a removable secondary mirror and is opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure it is axially symmetric in any configuration.Optical Tube Info: Optical Design EdgeHDAperture 235mm (9.25")Focal Length 2350mm (93")Focal Ratio f/10Focal Length of Eyepiece 1 23mm (.91")Magnification of Eyepiece 1 102xFinderscope 9x50Star Diagonal 2" with 1.25" adapterOptical Tube AluminumHighest Useful Magnification 555xLowest Useful Magnification 34xLimiting Stellar Magnitude 14.4Resolution (Rayleigh) .59 arc secondsResolution (Dawes) .49 arc secondsLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye) 1127xSecondary Mirror Obstruction 85mm (3.35")Secondary Mirror Obstruction by Diameter 36%Secondary Mirror Obstruction by Area 13%Optical Coatings StarBright XLTOptical Tube Length 559mm (22")Optical Tube Diameter 271.78mm (10.7")Optical Tube Weight 21 lbs (9.53 kg)Dovetail CGE Dovetail barMount Info: Mount Type Computerized EquatorialInstrument load capacity 30 lbs (13.6 kg)Height adjustment range (includes mount and tripod) 1118mm - 1626mm (44" 64")Tripod Leg Diameter 50.8mm (2") Stainless SteelLatitude adjustment range 7° - 77°Mount Head Weight 17 lbs (7.71 kg)Accessory Tray YesTripod Weight 18 lbs (8.16 kg)Weight of Counterweights 2 x 12 lbsSlew Speeds 9 slew speeds - max speed 4°/secondTracking Rates Sidereal, Solar and LunarTracking Modes EQ North & EQ SouthGPS N/ADovetail Compatibility Dual saddle plates (CG-5 and CGE saddle)Number of Auxiliary ports 3 Aux ports (1 hand control and 2 AUX ports for optional accessoriesAutoguide port YesUSB Port Yes, input on Hand ControlPower Requirements 12V DC 3.5A (tip positive)Motor Drive DC servo motorsAlignment Procedures 2-Star Align, 1-Star Align, Solar System Align, Last Alignment, Quick AlignPeriodic Error Correction YesComputerized Hand Control 2 line x 18 character backlit Liquid Crystal Display, 19 LED backlit buttons, USB 2.0 port for PC connectionNexStar+ Database 40,000+ objects, 100 user defined programmable objects.
