"Suitable for novice and experienced astronomers, the system's portability and ease of setup are great if you're in a hurry to get going, while the excellent optics of the C9.25 don't disappoint. Look after it well and it will provide a lifetime of astronomical enjoyment."

About this product

Model:  c9.25sct-vx-12046
Part Number:  12046-CGL

The Celestron Advanced VX 9.25” SCT is an excellent choice for intermediate level astronomers and astroimagers looking to gather 33% more light than an 8” telescope, but without the added weight of Celestron's 11” optical tube.

No single piece of this kit weighs more than 20 lbs, making it easy for one person to transport and assemble. This f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope features Celestron’s StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission and a 6x30 optical finderscope for locating alignment stars.

The new Advanced VX mount is specifically designed to provide optimum imaging performance for smaller telescopes. Features include permanent programmable periodic error correction, all star polar alignment, autoguider support and the ability to image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Compared to the earlier CG5-GT mount the Advanced VX also has larger base castings for improved stability under heavier loads and upgraded motors for more torque.

Please add the two numbers

Q1. Does this comes with a 90 deg star diagonal?

Yes - this does come with a 1.25 inch, 90 degree diagonal.


Q2. Does this comes with a serial cable for connection to a PC?

No, unfortunately this is not supplied with a computer serial cable. These are available separately at our website here: Serial cable for Skywatcher and Celestron mounts (Choose the 'Celestron' option).

Many newer computers come without an RS-232 port so to use this cable you will need a USB to RS-232 adapter which we can also provide: Celestron USB to RS-232 Adapter.
