Celestron Advanced VX 6" Refractor Telescope with Accessory Kit

SKU CH-QVJ7-SB9Z1

A 150 mm refractor on a computerized German equatorial mount tracks over 40,000 celestial objects and reaches 354× magnification

  • 150mm aperture gathers abundant light for bright, detailed celestial views
  • 1200mm focal length provides high magnification up to 354x for planetary detail
  • Advanced VX equatorial mount tracks objects smoothly across the night sky
  • NexStar+ hand control locates over 40000 celestial objects automatically
  • Sturdy stainless steel tripod with 2" legs minimises vibrations for sharp images

150mm Aperture Refractor for Imaging

This 6" refractor telescope uses a 150mm aperture and 1200mm focal length to gather ample light for bright, detailed views. The f/8 objective lens is suited to planetary imaging and brighter deep-sky objects. A NexStar+ hand control provides access to over 40,000 celestial objects. The Advanced VX German equatorial mount delivers smooth, accurate tracking for long-exposure photography.

Upgrade from Smaller Refractors or Alt-Az Mounts

The jump is worthwhile when you need unobstructed, high-contrast optics without a secondary mirror and require a mount with autoguider support and programmable periodic error correction. All-Star Polar Alignment and meridian-flip-free imaging across the meridian make this system viable for serious astrophotography sessions.

Verify Tripod Stability

Ensure the stainless steel tripod with 2" diameter legs can be levelled on your observing site to minimise vibrations at magnifications up to 354x. Confirm you have a suitable power source for the computerised mount and hand control during extended sessions. Check that your imaging camera matches the f/8 focal ratio for optimal results.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 150 mm aperture refractor tube need on the Advanced VX mount?

The optical tube is 1200 mm long with a 150 mm front lens; allow at least that length plus focuser travel when positioning the tube rings on the VX dovetail saddle.

Which step do users most often skip when polar-aligning the Advanced VX German equatorial mount?

After rough alignment, run the All-Star Polar Alignment routine using the NexStar+ hand control and confirm the autoguider port is connected before starting long exposures.

What routine care does the 150 mm f/8 objective lens and the 2-inch stainless-steel tripod require?

Clean the objective only with the supplied optical cleaning kit when dust is visible; wipe tripod legs after dewy nights and check leg-lock tightness monthly.
