You will even be able to further increase tracking accuracy by saving your own recorded periodic error.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTelescope \u0026amp; Mount Spec:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAXD2 Goto mount with VMC260L telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA Aperture: 260mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOTA Focal Length: 3000mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Ratio: f\/11.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution: 0.45 arc seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount with 30 kg load capacity (Photographic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModern Starbook Ten control with autoguider input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 270,000 celestial objects stored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated polar viewfinder with direct star adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional Maksutov-Cassegrain with 260 mm opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery stable metal observatories column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: 70.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhats included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVMC 260 Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP85 Observatories Column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 counterweights 1.5 and 7.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7x50 viewfinder telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolding mirror\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Vixen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40953843450051,"sku":"X000115","price":17095.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0596\/1924\/6275\/products\/VixenADX2VMC260Telescope_1.jpg?v=1634245570"},{"product_id":"explore-scientific-406-dobsonian-telescope-16","title":"Explore Scientific 406 Dobsonian Telescope Gen II - 16\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore Scientific Ultra Light Dobson 406mm Telescope - GENERATION II\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo type of telescope has changed amateur astronomy as much as the Dobsonian design telescopes. Before John Dobson introduced the Dobson telescope, the vast majority of amateur telescopes consisted of small lens telescopes with primitive mechanics - just enough to barely make out the polar caps of Mars or the rings of Saturn. Larger telescopes, such as Schmidt-Cassegrains, were reserved for a much more expensive and specialised market, however this all changed with the introduction of the Dobsonian Telescope. The Dobsonian design combines simple but effective mechanics with the largest possible aperture, which has given the Dobsonian telescope a unique triumph worldwide. Nowhere else do you get so much light gathering ability for your money as with a good Dobsonian Telescope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 406mm (16\") Aperture things start to get very serious in terms of what you can see through the eyepiece. The Moon and Planets are simply incredible and even fainter objects like Galaxies and nebula start to show lots of real detail and structure as well as hints of colour - Particularly if you are viewing from a dark sky location. A telescope with a mirror diameter of 406mm collects more than 3300 times as much light than the naked eye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe easy disassembly of this telescope allows for problem-free transport, even in relatively small cars - the assembly then is quick and easy without the need for tools. The entire construction has been optimized for maximum stiffness without neglecting weight. The combination of large height wheels with an optimized aluminum sandwich construction enables the finest correction movements at the highest magnifications. The focus position has already been prepared for the use of a coma corrector. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransport dimensions for mobile use:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockerbox: 550mm x 550mm x 330mm, Mirror box 480mm x 480mm x 300mm,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod length approx: 1250mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eViewing height in zenith position approx: 1.63m, \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal weight: 38.4 kg, 16\" mirror box: 23.8kg, 16\" top with secondary mirror + bottom rocker box: 10.5 kg, 16\" 4 pairs of struts: 2.5kg, 16\" height wheels pair: 1.6kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreaded connection focuser: M54 x 0.75 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubular all-aluminium construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Length: 1826mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Ratio: f\/4.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMirror Material: BK-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlain bearings made of Teflon and GRP, resulting in very sensitive tracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved primary mirror cell with precise adjustment mechanism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriction adjustment on both sides and brake system for the height bearings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal viewfinder shoe for an easy viewfinder upgrade is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-release fasteners with spring loaded elements for more comfortable handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated height wheels for better durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhats Included:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLattice tube Dobson Telescope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED viewfinder with standard viewfinder shoe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScattered light protection for secondary mirror cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustment tool for main mirrors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery box with pocket for fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalancing weights 2 x 1.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtension sleeve for focuser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduction adapter 2\" to 1.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSAFETY NOTICE:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNever look directly at the Sun through your Binoculars or Telescope - immediate and permanent eye damage may result.

Thanks to the large carrying handles, it is even easier to transport than a comparable, slightly lighter classic parallactic mount! With the dual dovetail clamp for CG-5 (Vixen, Celestron) or CGE (3-inch), you can easily switch between small solar telescopes and large Schmidt-Cassegrains, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount has been given more powerful, faster-reacting motors that are connected to the axes via a sturdy toothed belt. This means the mount responds almost immediately to control commands, even from an autoguider. There is no play in the gears, and since the worm gears are also spring-loaded, the play is largely eliminated - you don't have to readjust even when there are large temperature differences, as the worms and gears have optimal contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new, large screws are easy to grip, so you can loosen or tighten them easily even when wearing gloves - the polar height adjustment has also been revised so that you can easily adjust the mount even when it is fully loaded. A polar finder will be available as an option, but is generally unnecessary: ​​With the All-Star Polaralign you can align the mount to any brighter star through the telescope, and for perfection, the polar finder has always been superior to the polar finder. As a special feature, you can move the mount on the base plate of the extra-wide tripod head - this allows you to position the center of gravity perfectly over the tripod, for the entire usable latitude range from 3 to 65° north or south latitude. The flat base can also be easily adapted to your own columns. Celestron provides a flange drawing ( PDF ) for fixed installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a photo mount, it is just as suitable for mobile use as it is for remote operation. Internal sensors (“switches”) automatically bring the mount into the home position and prevent it from moving too far and hitting something when panning. The internal cabling also serves to ensure safety: all connections (power, hand controller, AUX and autoguider) are in the base of the mount and do not move with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand controller can be controlled in the traditional way via ASCOM and the hand controller (new: with USB connection) via PC, or you can use the control software included in the delivery, which was developed together with Planewave Instruments. Multipoint GoTo modeling, plate solving and control of the focuser are just a few functions that you normally have to add for remote operation - with the CGX this software is included in the delivery. Here you do not need the hand controller, but can use the USB connection on the mount directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Telescope Optics:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThe EdgeHD optics (Edge High Definition) combine the compact design of a Schmidt-Cassegrain with significantly improved imaging at the edge of the image. This optical system not only offers the properties of astrographs, but also produces completely undistorted, sharp images right up to the edge of the large visual and photographic field of view. Not only is the coma outside the optical axis corrected - as with other so-called \"coma-free\" optical designs available on the market (see also our test image) - but also the field curvature!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany optical systems are promoted as \"astrographs\"; however, they produce the coveted \"pinpoint\" star image along a curved image plane. On images taken with modern CCD cameras, the result is a noticeable field curvature that increases towards the edge of the image field and becomes stronger the larger the chip is; i.e. the stars remain round, but are blown up into small rings (\"donuts\") towards the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Celestron Edge HD telescopes, this field curvature is corrected right up to the edge in addition to the coma, so that even images taken with large CCD chips are completely sharp, with a uniformly large star image across the entire chip - right into the corners of the image field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis also significantly improves the resolution and limiting magnitude compared to competing optical systems with a similar aperture.
