Not only is it one of Celestrons most affordable 11-inch telescopes, it is also one of the most portable. The Advanced VX mount is strong enough to support this optical tube assembly and a couple of small accessories, yet weighs far less than some of our other 11-inch telescope kits. As far as optics go, the 11-inch SCT gathers 41% more light than the 9.25-inch model. You also get our StarBright XLT coatings for even better light transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE MOUNT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Advanced VX mount was specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Now your smaller telescope can take advantage of All-Star Polar Alignment and autoguider support. Youll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs inner-description\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOptical Design\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSchmidt-Cassegrain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAperture (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e280 mm (11 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTelescope Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComputerized (GOTO)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFocal Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2800 mm (110 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFocal Ratio\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFocal Length of Eyepiece 1 (mm)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 mm (1.57 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMagnification of Eyepiece 1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinderscope\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9x50\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTripod\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustable, Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTripod Leg Diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHighest Useful Magnification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e661 x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLowest Useful Magnification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLimiting Stellar Magnitude\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eResolution (Rayleigh)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eResolution (Dawes)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.41 arc seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1600 x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOptical Tube Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24\" in (610 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOptical Tube Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 lbs (12 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal Telescope Kit Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95 lbs (43 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMount Height (Max)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e64\" in (1626 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMount Height (Min)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44\" in (1118 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTripod Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 lbs (8.16 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight of Counterweights\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 x 12 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1167386312,"sku":"12067","price":7645.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/1859\/products\/celestron-advanced-vx-11-schmidt-cassegrain-telescope.jpeg?v=1761825586","url":"https:\/\/www.jacobsdigital.co.nz\/en-au\/products\/celestron-advanced-vx-11-schmidt-cassegrain","provider":"Jacobs Digital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
