Celestron
merges their massive 11" aperture/long focal length optical tube
assembly (OTA) and their larger & sturdier EQ mount in the CGX 1100 11" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope.
This complete observational rig gives you the ability to make detailed
observations of the Moon and planets within our solar system with the
capacity to reach into deep sky to discover galaxies, nebulae, clusters,
and stars. Complementing the aperture and focal length is the
proprietary StarBright XLT multi-coating system. With this system, light
transmission is increased throughout the entire optical path with
anti-reflection multi-coated lenses, highly reflective multi-coated
mirrors, and crown optical glass elements. While the focal ratio is a
relatively slow f/10, the scope's precision tracking system allows it to
be a competent astrophotography/astroimaging platform.
The
CGX GoTo EQ Mount improves on their venerable CGEM platform to provide
users with a heavy-duty research-quality mount for larger OTAs,
accessories, and imaging rigs. Engineered to carry a 55-pound payload
and outfitted with high-torque motors with a heavy-duty belt-drive
system to improve tracking stability and reduce backlash, it is able to
smoothly and accurately track near- and deep-sky objects for long
periods of time. To provide a stable platform for the mount and OTA, a
heavy-duty stainless steel tripod is included that sports large 2" legs,
an accessory tray that doubles as a stabilizer, and a height-adjustment
range from 47.25 to 77.5" including the head. Its wide stance provides
additional stability with reduced vibration, especially on rough or
uneven ground.
The brain of the system is the NexStar+ computer
controller. Outfitted with a database of over 40,000 objects, including
the planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and the complete Messier catalog,
it can also be programmed with up to 100 custom user-defined objects
and filters for custom object lists. Its intuitive menu-driven user
interface puts the power to observe the heavens in the palm of your hand
with nine slew speeds and three tracking rates, plus anti-backlash
compensation and Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) for smoother
movements in the motors and improved tracking over time. Features such
as guided tours, extended information on 200 popular objects, and
multiple alignment options make the NexStar+ controller easy to use and
invaluable to new users and experienced stargazers.
