This mount excels in both terrestrial and celestial viewing, making it a versatile companion for stargazers and photographers alike. Designed for smaller telescopes, the Advanced VX offers robust performance while harnessing Celestron's most advanced technologies, such as All-Star Polar Alignment and the Celestron PWI telescope control software.

The Advanced VX mount is perfect for both experienced astronomers and those just beginning their journey into astrophotography. With a payload capacity of 30 lbs (13.6 kg), this mount can support a variety of optical tubes, enabling you to explore the night sky or photograph celestial events effortlessly.
