The Celestron Telescope AC 150\/1200 Advanced VX GoTo<\/strong> is a powerful achromatic refractor<\/strong> with long focal length designed for detailed lunar and planetary observations. In combination with the Advanced VX mount<\/strong> this telescope offers a stable and fully automatic setup that appeals to beginners and advanced observers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 150 mm aperture<\/strong> delivers impressive contrast and clarity, revealing even subtle structures in Jupiter's cloud bands or Saturn's rings. Thanks to the long focal length of 1200 mm (f\/8)<\/strong> high magnifications are possible without noticeable chromatic aberration, a great advantage when observing planets, the Moon and binary stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The optical tube<\/strong> features a rugged 2\u2033 focuser with 1.25\u2033 adapter, allowing both standard and wide-angle eyepieces to be used. The included 9\u00d750 viewfinder<\/strong> makes it easy to locate objects quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced VX mount<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Advanced VX (AVX)<\/strong> is designed for those who want serious results in a portable setup. With a load capacity up to 13.5 kg<\/strong> the mount effortlessly supports this large refractor with additional accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NexStar+ handheld controller contains a database of more than 40,000 objects<\/strong> and makes alignment easy via All-Star Polar Alignment<\/em>. The mount provides PEC correction<\/strong> for accurate tracking during long exposures, while the servo motors<\/strong> be powerful enough to compensate for small imbalances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The steel legs (51 mm)<\/strong> guarantee stability, and its modular design keeps it relatively light and easy to transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicin<\/strong>g<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Celestron AC 150\/1200 Advanced VX GoTo<\/strong> is ideally suited for visual observations of the Moon, planets and bright deep-sky objects. Thanks to its long focal length and high contrast, this refractor excels in detail reproduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you can see with it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Crater structures, mountain ranges and shadows on the Moon<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The rings of Saturn<\/strong> with Cassini separation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cloud bands and lunar shadows on Jupiter<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ice sheets and dust storms on Mars<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Clear mists such as Orion (M42)<\/strong> and open star clusters such as Pleiades (M45)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Although the telescope is primarily for visual observation, you can also use a DSLR or planetary camera to make excellent moon and planet shots<\/strong> make. For deep-sky photography, a shorter telescope or an APO refractor is better suited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
