    Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope

    The Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope pairs Celestron's best optics, the EdgeHD optical system together with the Advanced VX mount to create maximum versatility. With the EdgeHD (Fastar/Hyperstar compatible), users are able to shoot at ultra-fast f/2 or at f/7 when used with an 8" EdgeHD focal reducer. If a camera is attached to the telescope's rear, users can also shoot at f/10. In any configuration, the EdgeHD can also help the user pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of the CCD sensor. Together with this telescope is the Advanced VX mount that increases the portability of the telescope while at the same time giving access to Celestron's most advanced technologies. If you're an experienced imager, you can definitely appreciate what the Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope has to offer, and for newcomers, the Advanced VX will definitely help kickstart your journey in this hobby for years to come.

    Shipping costs are charged by either dead weight or cubic weight (whichever is greater).
    Dead weight = The actual weight of the item. Cubic weight = L x W x H (Meters) x Cubic Conversion Rate (250).


    Multiply the height x length x width = 0.35 x 0.65 x 0.4 = 0.091 m³ (Cubic Measurement)
    To convert 0.091 m³ to a weight in kilograms: Multiply 0.091m3 x 250 (Cubic Conversion Rate) = 22.75 kg
