Celestron Advanced VX 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

Powerful Aperture Meets Precision Tracking

The Celestron Advanced VX 11" combines the optical muscle of a large-aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain with the precision and portability of the Advanced VX German equatorial mount.

Schmidt-Cassegrain Optics

Celestron’s tried-and-tested SCT design delivers crisp, colour-free images with excellent contrast and versatility. The 280mm aperture and 2800mm focal length make this an ideal system for everything from planetary imaging to detailed deep-sky exploration.

The optical tube is a great choice for serious observers and beginning astroimagers looking for more light without breaking the bank.

  • Unused items in “as new” condition can usually be returned within the statutory cooling-off period
  • Please contact us before sending anything back so we can advise on the safest way

Does it come with a warranty?

All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty

What happens if I don't like it?

We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.

If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.

Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.

We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.

How fast is shipping?

We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.

  • Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
  • Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
  • Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer

You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.

Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
