I recently received a custom built refractor telescope from Stellavue and the telescope manufacturer recommended I use a Celestron Advanced VX computerized tri-pod mount (which I also purchased). The VX tri-pod system is powered by 12v DC and does have...

It comes with a charging base that plugs into your AC and you just set the unit on the tray and it charges. You can also use the charger directly if you prefer not to use the tray.

I can't answer for the Meade version, but I was so pleased with my Celestron 8-24 mm zoom eyepiece I asked the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to also purchase one for their solar telescope. The volunteers who operate this telescope think its performance, reliability and ease of use are great.

I assume you are asking about the orion scope vs the celestron scope? I've no experience with the orion st, there's a comparison on cloudy nights' user forum. There is a lot of info there. I beive that is where I found a write up on what to expect from various size optics and focal lengths. I'm still happy with the astromaster. It has pretty good optics, but as many people have pointed out, the mount is a little flimsy.

I am sorry, but I simply don't know. I reccomend you contact Celestron and get their reccos. Brgds, Geo

I used PVC pipe (Approx 8" dia.) cut in half to mount my solar scope to then added velcro straps to piggyback my solar scope on a Meade 8" Starfinder with a clock drive and it works great. I don't know of any specific adapters but somebody else might.

yes it should, its universal to celestron telescopes..Im looking at mine now, and it seems to be universal, did you get your t-ring...the t-ring will allow the camera to be attached. I know I forgot the t-ring when I got my adaptor..My telescope is the C8, so it should work.. let me know, but get the t-ring, it goes by camera model.. Like mine is a Cannon, so I had to get a Cannon t-ring that attaches to the adapter...it also only works if your able to remove your leses from your camera, there is another mount that you can use if your using a point and shoot camera.. most sincerely,Lizzy

The Tripod is motorized and included. However, it runs on 8 AA batteries which don't last very long in terms of a night of star gazing. It is recommended to get the Celestron brand battery pack if you are going to use this anywhere away from a power outlet (which is mostly the case I find). I bought an off-brand car jump starter that had an AC outlet.

Hi, to answer your question, I have to say yes. This tri-pod is stout. I say it made well enough to support up to a 11" telescope, so a video camera absolutely yes. It is the same make as another very popular one on amazon, but has been rebadged to Amazon basics, and sells for less, but the same exact thing. I love it. I shoot long distance with a large 70-300 zoom monster on my Nikon even in the wind, and shoot the moon at night. if you have ever shot the moon, you know it has to be rock steady. This is.

I don't know anything about your particular telescope, but we have it on a Celestron Powerseeker 80EQ and it works great. Maybe you could look up the specs of ours and see if it would work with yours.

The 52303 Regal Refractor has a focal plane that is very deep in the scope. Therefore, you have to use an eye piece that has a deep set focal plane. Celestron has specific eye pieces for that scope to match it. In other words, the typical 1.25 inch telescope eye piece will not work with it. So, I suspect, the typical barlow lense or magnifier may not either. You can email or call Celestron, or talk to one of the bigger astronomical telescope retailers to find out for sure though.

I used the sunforce ac/dc power convertor. available from Amazon. Works great and I have used one for my Winegard Dish power supply for several years.I get great boost from my attic antenna and direction pointing is a snap. Can't to test it on my RV

Celestron does sell a 110VAC to 12VDC adapter as well as a car battery-12VDC adapter. Here is a link (I hope) to the 110 VAC adapter: Celestron 18778 AC Adapter (Black)This should be a stock replacement for your adapter.

The CDC 800 XLT will fit into the case along with plenty of room for eyepieces, extension, cables, etc. The case will not fit the tri-pod nor the Celestron Battery Pack. I have had one for 2 years and it invaluable and convenient transporting everything safely.

I'm not sure. There are USB output connectors on the PowerTank. If your device has a cable with the telescope connector on one end and USB on the other, it should work. Good luck!

I used 8 standard AA batteries and they lasted about 7 outings. When the batteries get low the software malfunctions and the telescope will not slew or track correctly. Note that rechargeable AA batteries are 1.2V not 1.5V. When you use 8 of them that 0.3 difference adds up. So instead of a 12V total you will have a 9.6V total. This may underdrive the motors, which would be really bad for a precision based instrument like this. I would not recommend rechargeable unless you plug in to a true 12V.

Mine works well with the Orion 15x70, so yours should be fine in terms of size. However I am not familiar with where the screw fits on the Celestron. Advise you to compare the two binoculars. You can always return it if it doesn't work.
