Celestron Advanced VX 8in EdgeHD Telescope

Written on Jan 25, 2016

Shipped promptly and boxed well. Optics seem to be sharp and everything works as described. I have only used it a few times so far and so can't say much about how it will hold up with time, but everything looks well made and built for the long haul. Tracking set up was easy ( I had a celestron nexstar 6 se) and the hand controller and alignment is very similar. I plan on using for photography but am still waiting on some clear nights and time to work thru this.

I did notice that with a 3 lb guide scope mounted I needed an additional counterweight to make it balance.
