Celestron Advanced VX 6-Inch Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) Telescope with Ultra-Fast f/2.2 Optics

The RASA 6 with Advanced VX mount offers fast imaging performance with a wide field of view, designed for those who need reliable astrophotography capabilities on the move. This system simplifies setup, reduces exposure time, and delivers detailed deep-sky images.

Ultra-Fast f/2.2 Optics

Capture deep-sky objects with shorter sub-exposures and reduced total exposure time. The fast optics allow imaging without the need for autoguiding in many cases, which simplifies the workflow and saves time.

Sub-Arcsecond Resolution

The RASA 6 supports high-resolution sensors and favorable sky conditions to produce clear, sharp images. This feature allows for the capture of fine structures in galaxies and nebulae.

Wide Field of View

The system supports up to a 22mm sensor and provides a 3.8-degree field of view. This enables you to frame large targets like nebulae and star clusters in a single shot.

Advanced VX Mount Compatibility

The Advanced VX mount supports up to 30 lb of payload, offering stability during imaging sessions. It includes GoTo tracking, alignment tools, and compatibility with imaging accessories.

Integrated Filter and Cooling System

Built-in filter drawer and cooling fan allow quick adjustments and help maintain optical performance during long sessions. This improves efficiency and helps protect components from dust and overheating.

Portable and Lightweight

The RASA 6 tube weighs just 8.4 lb, making it easy to transport for remote imaging sessions. Combined with the compact Advanced VX mount, it’s suited for both field and backyard use.
