Overview

• 6” (150mm) f/5 optical design gives excellent wide
  field views


• Parabolic primary mirror minimizes spherical aberration
  to produce a better image


• Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable
  Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm
  gear


• New motors offer improved tracking performance &
  provide more power to overcome load imbalances


• Updated industrial design offers more rigidity, less
  flexure and improved aesthetics


• New design allows viewing or imaging across the
  meridian without interference from the motors housings


• Improved latitude range, can be used between 7 – 77
  degrees latitude


• Improved electronics contain increased memory for
  future expansion


• NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language
  programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish)

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.
