VX Style Mount

The Celestron VX 9.25 telescope features a Vixen-style dovetail saddle that provides secure and easy mounting with a payload capacity of up to 13.6 kg. Moreover, this sturdy VX mount features dual-axis motors that help to reduce vibrations and provide a fluid and flawless tracking. Not only this, but the motors offer remarkable tracking during low meridian, enabling you to observe from high positions, such as a hilltop or balcony.

NexStar+ Controller App

The NexStar+ software application acts as the brain of this Celestron telescope. Containing information and locations of more than 40,000 space objects, stars, and planets, this software provides all the utilities to start observing like an experienced astronomer. Adding to its versatility, the software manages multiple alignment procedures, enabling you to observe in any mode flawlessly. With the Permanent Periodic Error Compensation, this software calculates data and tracking movements of the motors and updates them to be more responsive while tracking space objects. Furthermore, the intelligently designed software has built-in instruction to guide you through the setup process.

Unique Optical System

The versatile telescope is based on the tried and tested Aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain optical design. This is complemented further by the EdgeHD optical system that helps to reduce field curvature and aberrations while improving contrast, clarity, and resolution throughout the entire visual spectrum. The StarBright XLT coating further improves light transmission through the optical path and provides brighter images of your targets. Multiple layer coatings, along with a broadband system, provide flat wavelength transmission for delivering images with colour accuracy.

Effective Counterweight

To provide stability and support to the tripod, the telescope is supplied with a 5.5 kg counterweight. Not only does the counterweight help balance the mass of the telescope, but is also useful for counterbalancing other accessories, such as heavy telephoto lenses or DSLR cameras.
