Is the AVX mount good for astrophotography?
Celestron has software called CPWI for this purpose, but with the AVX you should also get a Celestron-branded version of Starry Night, which is planetarium software with Celestron telescope control. That circle represented a clock face and placing Polaris on that circle where the hour hand of a clock would be at the time of mount alignment provided an additional 15 to 20 seconds of accurate tracking time compared to aligning in the center. I don’t have the AVX now as I traded it in for a cgem a few years ago, probably the worst mistake I ever made, set me back a couple of years as it has given me nothing but trouble since. The relative portability of the mount also makes the AVX suitable for astrophotography in remote locations.
Many people have tried to modify the AVX to improve its performance, sometimes completely disassembling it and replacing bearings and other parts.
