Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope

Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope

Professional-Grade Astrophotography in a Portable Package

The Celestron Advanced VX 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope is a powerful, precision-crafted system designed to deliver observatory-quality results in a setup that’s compact enough for mobile imaging. Combining the renowned EdgeHD optical tube with the highly capable Advanced VX equatorial mount, this telescope is the ideal platform for serious planetary observers, deep sky imagers, and astrophotographers who demand performance without the bulk.

EdgeHD Optics: Flat-Field Performance Across the Entire Sensor

At the heart of this system is the 9.25” (235mm) EdgeHD optical tube, a true astrograph-class aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain design. Unlike standard SCTs, EdgeHD eliminates not only off-axis coma but also field curvature, delivering a flat, aberration-free field across today’s largest imaging sensors.

• Native f/10 focal ratio for deep-sky detail

• Image at f/7 with an optional focal reducer, or f/2 with a Fastar lens assembly

• StarBright XLT coatings for maximum light transmission and contrast

• Advanced cooling and mirror clutches ensure stable focus during long exposures

EdgeHD optics produce pinpoint stars from centre to edge—ideal for full-frame DSLRs, cooled astro cameras, and future-proof imaging setups.

Advanced VX Mount: Compact Yet Fully Featured

The Celestron Advanced VX (AVX) equatorial mount offers high-end functionality in a travel-ready form. With a 30 lb instrument payload capacity, it's perfectly matched to the 9.25” EdgeHD tube, even when fully loaded with cameras, guide scopes, and other imaging accessories.

Key features include:

• Computerised GoTo system with NexStar+ hand controller

• Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) and All-Star Polar Alignment

• Autoguider port, multiple AUX ports, and a USB connection

• Dual saddle plate compatible with CG-5 and CGE-style dovetails

• 2" steel tripod legs for added stability

Whether you’re imaging from your backyard or a remote dark-sky site, the Advanced VX mount provides the tracking precision and alignment tools needed for sharp, accurate exposures.
