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, ventilation openings, and the corrected field of view make this optical tube photographically outstanding. To be fair: at 12.7 kg, the tube is pushing the maximum load capacity of the AVX. Visually and for short planetary videos, the combination works well; anyone planning long unattended deep-sky exposures would be better off with the same tube on a CGEM II. Realistic planetary work is possible 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
