Celestron Advanced VX 700 Maksutov Cassegrain Telescope

Edge HD: Celestron’s revolutionary aplanatic EdgeHD optics reduce off-axis star coma while providing an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. The result is a focal plane more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs, guaranteeing sharp stars across today’s largest CCD sensors Motor: Improved motors provide more torque and tracking under heavy loads and the heavy duty belt-drive system minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation at full capacity Software: The mount includes control software developed in conjunction with PlaneWave Instruments for professional level control operation and imaging. Software includes the multi-point mount modeling for extremely precise pointing accuracy and many more additional features for remote astro-imaging Connectivity: The mount comes with two Aux accessory ports and an autoguider port. NexStar+ hand control with USB port tells you much about the night sky with a press of a button. The USB 2.0 port is used to connect directly to the PC with PWI Software.
