In this episode, I unbox my first goto equatorial mount: a new Celestron Advanced VX mount. Yes, I'm getting into astrophotography. Wish me luck and thanks for watching! Get it from Amazon: amzn.to/2fBpSUU

I wanted to thank you for making this video. I just got a Celestron AVX Mount that was apart. Your video just help me put it together in less than 10 minutes. Thank you.

I'm so glad I found this channel. I love my Celestron Edge HD 8" SCT, with a few upgrades, but I find it a little wieldy. So I decided to purchase the ES ED102 from your other video. I was also interested in finding a mount for it and 'bam' here you are!

I have a Meade 120mm achro refractor that I use with my AVX Mount. It makes a really good setup.

Great Video! Funny story I did the same thing with selling! I just went eBay selling crazy in the last month selling off all of my older film and audio equipment we never use or that is sitting collecting dust in our warehouse and raised enough to buy the Advanced VX C8 CN with the SkyPortal wifi Package at Adorama. I am using a Zhumell Z8 now but trying to do photos with that is limited to just single exposures of not more than five seconds to avoid star trails and shifting since it is a manually controlled DOB. I was really only able to do planets, the moon and the sun but its amazing for viewing itself. I have limited content on my channel and now hopefully I will be able to post more content myself as well. once I get my package in. I wanted to upgrade because I have gotten into Astro Photography in the last year here and wanted to do longer exposure Astrophotography. So I sold and just purchased this same mount with the 8 Inch Newtonian SkyPortal Package yesterday. I added the Celestron GPSync and the 5(amp) Power Adapter as well. Next month I will purchase my Autoguider if I feel I need one. I will wait and see what I can achieve with this mount, scope and Canon 70D camera. Anyhow here is the link in case anyone is interested in this mount or looking for a package bundle. www.adorama.com/cnavx8nw.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA9MTQBRAREiwAzmytw1BMih4HP5Ke8YaXQLYKbC3-y84dnXtrZVvgM4WyXhSFTAGugG4hAxoCgEIQAvD_BwE

Great story, thanks for sharing. I like your shot of Jupiter with your Z8.

You're Welcome and thank you! Now I wish I had more stuff to sell though. Lool Jupiter was my best subject as for planets. Two more days and I will be capturing much more and hopefully better stuff when I get my Advanced VX package. :) Here are some links to my FlickR Albums; when you have time have a look. www.flickr.com/photos/opmmmgroup/sets/72157679171233103 www.flickr.com/photos/opmmmgroup/sets/72157685462769043 www.flickr.com/photos/opmmmgroup/albums/72157684683040270

To do guiding on the avx mount you must have a guide camera and a computer with PhD 2 guiding software and a guidescope and welcome back!
@NewAstronomer6 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the advice. I will add the guide camera to my wish list. Clear skies!

I just bought a used avx with a meade lx200 8" OTA hope to use it along with a TSO 8" f/4 astrograph. What has been your experience with the mount? does it track properly? what software do you do astrophoto with? APT? Celestron CPWI?
@hovlandbound6 жыл бұрын
Hi, hope all is going well with your new mount. I am also looking at getting one. I'm wondering how it's holding up for you and if you have had any issues with it. Does it have the capability of running it plugged in to an outlet or is it just batteries. I'm hoping both. Any response or reply would be great. Thanks!! Clear skies!!

Can I ask you a real quick question? I cant hear yours so I wanted to know if your gear head or the motor box on your mount does it hum? My first mount hummed and then it died on me and today I got my second mount from Celestron and I was curious when the scope is powered on and in parked position does yours make noise from the motor?
@NewAstronomer6 жыл бұрын
Yes, the motor makes a noise when it is slewing.
