11-inch EdgeHD: The Ultimate in a Portable GoTo<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Celestron EdgeHD 280\/2800 Advanced VX<\/strong> Mount the largest portable EdgeHD optics on the AVX mount. The 11\" aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain gathers 1600 times more light than the naked eye and delivers a flat, coma-free field of view with edge-to-edge sharpness normally reserved for observatories. Globular clusters resolve to their very cores, and planetary nebulae reveal color and structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EdgeHD Technology and an Honest Caveat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mirror locks, dew shields, and the corrected field of view make this tube photographically excellent. Honestly, at 28 pounds, the tube is pushing the limits of the AVX's payload capacity. Visually and for short planetary video, the combination works well. Those planning long, unattended deep-sky exposures would be better off with the same tube on a CGEM II. Realistic planetary viewing goes up to about 300x under Dutch skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Advanced VX: Built for Photography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Advanced VX is a German equatorial GoTo mount with a 30 lb payload capacity, NexStar+ hand controller with over 40,000 objects, All-Star Polar Alignment for polar alignment without a view of Polaris, permanent periodic error correction (PPEC), and an autoguider port. The mount operates on 12V; a power tank is the logical addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
