If you’re looking for a highly sophisticated telescope to give you the stargazing experience you want, and you want a big discount, you’re in luck. The Celestron Advanced VX 8 Edge HD telescope is now £400 off from Wex Photo & Video.
A £400 discount (opens in new tab) is always worth checking out, and while the telescope itself is still an investment, the saving is a considerable one. In fact, we rate this telescope so highly, it features in our best telescopes guide, and with good reason. As good as this deal is, if it’s not for you but you want to look at other telescope deals, we have a guide for that too.
We’ve reviewed the Celestron Advanced VX 8 Edge HD telescope so it’s quality is assured and you can see why we like it so much. It’s optics are unmatched by its competitors, it’s computerized system tracks targets with ease and it comes with the usual all-round quality you’d expect from Celestron models. It’s also great for astrophotography and is far more powerful than any of the best binoculars.
There’s no doubting that this is a serious bit of skywatching gear and certainly not one of the best telescopes for beginners. There’s a number of reasons that make this telescope one of the best on the market and the standout is the quality of optics.
Those optics include a focal length of 2032mm and an aperture of 203mm meaning plenty of light passes through the lens and crystal clear views are to be had. Because this telescope is brilliant for astrophotography, Celestron’s technology negates any undesirable effect from the Schmidt-Cassegrain’s curved focal plane design.
A computerized GoTo mount type means tracking your night sky targets is made that much easier and you get more accessories for your money too. A sturdy tripod with accessory tray, NexStar Hand Controller, Advanced VX Mount, 40mm Eyepiece, 90 Degree Diagonal and 9×50 Finderscope all help give you the stargazing experience you’re chasing and means a £400 discount (opens in new tab) is not so easily dismissed.
