For astronomers looking to upgrade to an 11-inch optical tube, the Celestron Advanced VX Schmidt-Cassegrain 11in Telescope 12067 is a great option. Not only is this Telescope one of Celestron's most affordable 11-inch telescopes, it is also one of the most portable. The mount on the Celestron Advanced VX 11in Telescope is strong enough to support this optical tube assembly and a couple of small accessories, yet weighs far less than some of our other 11-inch telescope kits. As far as optics go, the Celestron 11-inch SCT VX Advanced Telescope gathers 41% more light than the 9.25-inch model. You also get StarBright XLT coatings for even better light transmission. The mount on the Celestron Advanced VX Telescope was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. With this Celestron Telescope you'll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. The Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain Advanced VX 11in Telescope features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.
