## Description

The CGX Equatorial 1100 HD Telescope is a state-of-the-art device that combines Celestron's advanced CGX computerized equatorial mount with the renowned EdgeHD optical system. Despite its lightweight optical tube assembly of just 28 lbs., this telescope is designed to be portable, making it ideal for stargazing in dark skies. It boasts an impressive 89% more light gathering power than an 8" telescope and 40% more than the 9.25", making it a powerful tool for both amateur and professional astronomers.Designed for astrophotography, the CGX mount provides a robust platform with a smooth, heavy-duty belt drive system. It features electronic and ergonomic enhancements that facilitate worry-free remote operation, complemented by advanced software. The EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that delivers aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. Its optical system is specifically designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma, providing an astrograph-quality flat focal plane to the edge of the field-of-view.Unlike many optical designs that claim to be "astrographs", the EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane that is more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. This results in rounder, more pleasing stars and 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 ensure maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.The telescope tube has been redesigned to optimize your viewing experience. It features mirror clutches and flexible tension clutches that hold the mirror in place, reducing image shift during long exposure astro-images. Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror, each vent featuring an integrated 50-mesh filter to prevent dust from entering.The CGX Equatorial 1100 HD Telescope 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 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 rigorous quality assurance.The CGX mount, a culmination of Celestron's years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts, is designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. It features a lower profile EQ head for a more compact and stable setup, a superior drive system, remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors, easier polar alignment adjustments, and improved cable management.The CGX Equatorial 1100 HD Telescope is a versatile imaging telescope that offers three focal ratios: native f/10, f/7 with the addition of a focal reducer, or ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror and third-party accessories. It is designed to deliver high-quality astroimages, making it a valuable addition to any astronomer's toolkit.

Review: The most cost effective way to get to space! - Very capable telescope, worked as expected out of the box, which is pretty good given how complex it is. Great platform for viewing with naked eye and can support astrophotography. Easily resolves colors on Jupiter with the supplied 23mm eyepiece at about 140 magnification. Looks like it will last - the German equatorial mount is quite solid. Happy with the purchase. Find somewhere to keep it before you buy, it’s about the size of an adult person.
