Before you embark on your next stargazing adventure, consider the 8" EdgeHD Optical Tube Assembly with Starbright XLT Coatings and CGE Dovetail slide bar. This advanced Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope offers an aplanatic, flat field design that ensures aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. Unlike many optical designs that claim to be "astrographs", the EdgeHD Optical Tube Assembly goes beyond producing pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. It provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane right to the edge of the field of view. This feature guarantees visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today, making it an ideal choice for digital camera use. The EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane that is more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but also improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. The telescope tube has been redesigned with mechanical features to optimize your viewing experience. It includes mirror clutches with flexible tension that hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during long exposure astro-images. The tube also features cooling vents on the rear cell, allowing hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 50-mesh filter to ensure that warm air can escape without letting dust in. The EdgeHD Optical Tube Assembly is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. It is Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third-party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging. Every EdgeHD that ships has been individually tested for the surface quality of each optical component, as well as with a camera and artificial star to ensure the imaging system meets our rigid quality assurance. This final acceptance test confirms that the EdgeHD will perform in the field and deliver high-quality astro-images. Whether you're an amateur astronomer or a seasoned professional, the 8" EdgeHD Optical Tube Assembly with Starbright XLT Coatings and CGE Dovetail slide bar is a high-quality, durable, and sophisticated tool for viewing and observing celestial objects in the night sky.

With 8 inches of aperture and our premium StarBright XLT coatings, the CGEM II 800 HD gives you over 800 times the light gathering power than the unaided eye and is the lightest and most portable telescope in its class. OPTICAL TUBE INFO: SEE THE UNIVERSE IN HD EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma; it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. TRUE ASTROGRAPH QUALITY Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrographs" actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars, but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. With Celestron's StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. MECHANICAL FEATURES In addition to EdgeHD's optimized optical design, the telescope tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night. MIRROR CLUTCHES - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images. Once focused, the flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or on the sensor). TUBE VENTS - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 95-micron micromesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in. FASTAR VERSATILITY - EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. At its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. Add the optional reducer lens custom-designed for your size EdgeHD tube and you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A Barlow lens gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and...

This advanced telescope combines Celestron's redesigned CGEM II computerized equatorial mount with the acclaimed EdgeHD optical system, offering a superior viewing experience for astronomy enthusiasts.With a large aperture of over 9 inches, this durable telescope gathers over 1000 times more light than the naked eye, producing brighter and clearer images of celestial objects. The EdgeHD optical system is an innovative, aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain design that delivers aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view.The telescope's optical system is designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma; it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. This ensures sharp, detailed images across some of the largest CCD chips available today, making it a premier choice for astroimaging.The CGEM II 925 EdgeHD is equipped with Celestron's StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, maximizing light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. This, combined with superior edge performance, not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but also improves resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture.The sturdy telescope tube has been redesigned with mirror clutches and tube vents to ensure optimal performance. The mirror clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during long exposure astro-images, while the tube vents allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror, preventing dust from entering.The CGEM II 925 EdgeHD is also Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third-party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging. This makes it one of the most versatile imaging telescopes available today.The CGEM II mount is capable of carrying Celestron's higher-end SCT optical tubes securely and vibration-free, making it ideal for both imaging and visual observing. With a payload capacity of 40 lbs and slewing at 5½ per second, you can instantly point to any celestial object in the database.The mount features Celestron's innovative All-Star Polar alignment procedure and Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PEC), enhancing the user experience for astroimagers. The CGEM II mount also has a robust database with over 40,000 objects, 100 user-defined programmable objects, and enhanced information on over 200 objects.With its ergonomic design, innovative features, and high-quality optics, the CGEM II 925 EdgeHD 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope offers a superior stargazing experience, making it a top choice for astronomy enthusiasts and astroimagers alike.

Celestron's newly designed CGX-L Computerized Equatorial mount is the latest addition to our fully computerized equatorial mount series. Capable of carrying Celestron's largest optical tubes with ease, CGX-L is designed for backyard observatories and remote imagers looking for exceptional load capacity to weight ratio, compact design, and innovative features that fully support large telescopes, imaging kits, and the latest in wireless tech accessories. Key design goals included larger 144 mm diameter worm wheels which provide smoother operation and can more accurately drive heavier loads, longer 270 mm dovetail saddle to support larger optical tubes, remote operation friendly features such as home and limit optical sensors, easier polar alignment adjustments, and better cable management overall. In addition to that, we've made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and easier to transport. COMPACT. ERGONOMIC. INNOVATIVE.
