Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope WiFi Kit

SKU CH-KJG4-SD9R3

Combines an 8" EdgeHD telescope with a computerised Advanced VX mount, NexStar+ hand control and SkyPortal WiFi module for automated object location

  • EdgeHD optics deliver pinpoint stars across the full field
  • Advanced VX mount provides stable tracking for long-exposure imaging
  • NexStar+ hand control accesses 40000 celestial objects
  • SkyPortal WiFi module enables wireless telescope operation
  • Kit includes 9x50 finder, 40mm eyepiece and 90° diagonal

Complete Astroimaging Kit

The Celestron Advanced VX 8" EdgeHD Telescope WiFi Kit bundles an 8-inch EdgeHD optical tube, Advanced VX mount, 9x50 finder, 40mm eyepiece, 90° mirror diagonal, tripod, NexStar+ hand control and SkyPortal WiFi module. It is aimed at novice and experienced astroimagers who want a single package for visual observing and photography.

Upgrade Path

The kit replaces a basic alt-azimuth setup or a smaller refractor that lacks the aperture and tracking precision needed for long-exposure imaging. The jump is worth it when you require pinpoint stars across a flat field and a mount rated for serious astrophotography.

Setup Reality

Assembly follows the included manual: mount the optical tube on the VX head, attach the finder, diagonal and eyepiece, then level the tripod. Common issues are achieving accurate polar alignment for tracked imaging and balancing the 8-inch tube before powering the motors.

Questions about this item

What tripod and mount combination does this kit use for stability?

The kit includes the Advanced VX mount paired with a tripod, providing a sturdy platform with improved motors for superior tracking performance during astrophotography sessions.

How do I align the NexStar+ hand control with the 40,000 object database, and what step is often missed?

Perform a two-star alignment using the NexStar+ hand control; the step often missed is entering the exact date, time, and location before selecting alignment stars, which ensures the 40,000+ object database points accurately.

When should the 9x50 finder scope and 40mm eyepiece be checked or replaced?

Check the 9x50 finder scope alignment before each session and clean the 40mm eyepiece lenses only when visibly dirty using proper optical cleaning tools to maintain pinpoint star performance across the field.
