Celestron EdgeHD-SC 203/2032 on AVX GoTo Mount

Celestron EdgeHD-SC 203/2032 AVX GoTo

Description:
The Celestron EdgeHD 203/2032 AVX GoTo is a complete telescope package featuring the EdgeHD optical tube and the Advanced VX German equatorial mount. Designed for advanced amateurs, it delivers sharp, flat-field images ideal for both high-resolution visual observation and astrophotography.

The EdgeHD 8" optical tube offers all the advantages of Schmidt-Cassegrain systems but with additional internal lens elements that eliminate field curvature and off-axis aberrations. It produces pinpoint stars across the field, even on modern APS-C size sensors, making it ideal for deep-sky imaging with DSLRs or CMOS cameras.

The closed-tube design protects the optics from dust and thermal fluctuations, and the optical components are fully coated with Celestron's StarBright XLT coatings for maximum light transmission and contrast. The optical train includes a locking primary mirror and a central baffle to suppress stray light and preserve image contrast.

The Advanced VX mount is portable yet solid, with precise GoTo functionality and motorized tracking. With PEC support, an autoguider port, and a database of over 40,000 celestial objects, the AVX is an excellent choice for field use or a permanent observatory setup.
