Celestron Advanced Vx 8 Schmidt-cassegrain Telescope by Celestron

Celestron Advanced Vx 8 Schmidt-cassegrain Telescope
The Celestron Advanced VX 8 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is ideal for imagers and visual observers looking for a telescope that is much more portable than the reflector or refractor range of telescopes. The 8″” f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain includes XLT coatings offers 84% more light gathering than a 6″” telescope and ensures little chromatic aberration. The VX mount with improved motor was specifically designed for optimum power and tracking performance. Thanks to the autoguider support and All-Star Polar Alignment you can choose any star listed in the NexStar hand control (included) to assist in accurately aligning your telescope’s mount with the North Celestial Pole.

John Lewis Telescopes

Whilst I was searching lately for a new Skywatcher telescope I was amazed to see that John Lewis appeared in the lists on Google. So I had to have a look, John Lewis now sell telescopes. They don’t sell too many, about 7 in total. Maybe telescopes are becoming mainstream, maybe it’s the Brian Cox effect?

John Lewis currently stock the following telescopes:

• Celestron Reflector 114
• Celestron Firstscope
• Celestron Astromaster 130EQ
• Celestron Travelscope
• Celestron Astromaster 76EQ

Still a great Christmas present for the budding astronomer and a great place to start.
