  • Advanced VX German equatorial mount with NexStar+ hand control locates 40,000+ objects automatically

Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope for Deep-Sky

The 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube delivers 280mm of aperture with StarBright XLT coatings for maximum light transmission. Its design eliminates chromatic aberration while providing 41% more light-gathering capacity than a 9.25-inch model. This makes it suitable for detailed lunar, planetary, and deep-sky observation by serious amateur astronomers.

Advanced VX German Equatorial Mount

The mount features a database of over 40,000 celestial objects and includes All-Star Polar Alignment, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction. An adjustable stainless steel tripod with 2-inch legs provides a vibration-resistant platform for high-magnification viewing. The package includes a 40mm eyepiece, 90-degree mirror diagonal, and NexStar+ hand controller for computerised GoTo tracking.

Included Accessories and Setup Considerations

The accessory kit supplies a night-vision flashlight, sky maps, moon filter, and optical cleaning kit for immediate observing sessions. Buyers should verify that their observing site can accommodate the tripod footprint and that they have access to power for the computerised mount. Those requiring a lighter instrument for frequent transport or a simpler alt-azimuth setup may prefer a different configuration.

Questions about this item

What aperture does the 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain provide and how much more light does it gather than a 9.25" model?

The 280 mm aperture delivers 41% more light-gathering capacity than a 9.25" telescope, revealing fainter deep-sky objects with greater detail.

What tripod leg diameter supports the Advanced VX mount?

The adjustable stainless-steel tripod uses 2" diameter legs to give a rigid, vibration-resistant platform for the equatorial mount.

How do you perform the initial SkyAlign procedure on the NexStar+ hand control?

Level the tripod, power on the mount, select SkyAlign, then centre any three bright celestial objects in the eyepiece; the hand control calculates the alignment model automatically.
