Celestron C6 152/1500 Schmidt-Cassegrain Advanced VX GoTo

The compact Schmidt-Cassegrain on the Advanced VX

The Celestron SC 152/1500 Advanced VX is the lightest Schmidt-Cassegrain combination on this mount. The 152 mm SCT optics deliver a 1500 mm focal length in a forty-centimeter tube: high magnification for planets, double stars, and compact deep-sky objects, without a bulky observatory system. With 471 times more light than the naked eye, this is the most mobile serious setup from the AVX line.

Closed optics, maximum sharpness

De correctieplaat sluit de buis af tegen stof en luchtstroming en de StarBright XLT-coating houdt de lichttransmissie maximaal. Realistisch bruikbaar is tot ongeveer 304x: ruim voldoende voor de Cassini-scheiding en de wolkenbanden van Jupiter bij rustige lucht. De SCT-achterzijde accepteert standaard T-adapters, reducers en camera’s.

The Advanced VX: Built for Photography

The Advanced VX is a German equatorial GoTo mount with a 13.6 kg payload capacity, NexStar+ hand controller with over 40,000 objects, All-Star Polar Alignment for polar alignment without view of Polaris, permanent periodic error correction (PPEC), and an autoguider port. Precisely the foundation serious astrophotography requires. The mount operates on 12V; a powertank is the logical addition.

For whom yes, for whom no

Pros: anyone who wants a single portable system for years of planetary viewing, double stars, and getting started in astrophotography. Cons: anyone who wants to photograph large nebulae; choose the Newton 150/750 on the same mount instead with its wide f/5 field of view.
