Introducing the EdgeHD Telescope Series, Celestron’s dependable
flagship telescope line- fused to their CGX Mount, the newest and
greatest in German Equatorial mounts. With a proven telescope to mount
atop it, the CGX is sure to provide you with some of the finest
astronomical experiences you've had to date! Featuring Celestron's
premium StarBright XLT coatings and 11" of aperture, this telescope
gives you the brightest, clearest views whether observing planetary or
deep-sky objects.
The Celestron CGX Mount is an innovative new design that improves on
it's predesscors in every imaginable way. It's the product of over three
years of innovative design and planning, and it shows. It's
Ergonomic Design - The Celestrom CGX mount is incredibly ergonomic, from the convenient carrying handles to the easy to use and turn knobs.
Splendid Engineering- This mount boasts drastically
reduced backlash and improved stability. Incredibly rigid, this mount
also boasts an improved motor system that greatly boosts the provided
torque. It's simply superior to it's predesscors in every way.
Innovation - The Celestron CGX series boasts internal cabling
that utterly bypasses the issue of cable twisting or tangling by letting
you route all your own power supply and accessory cables into a
convenient port on a part of the mount that moves- from which they enter
into the mount, utterly contained, and reach everywhere they need to on
the inside without any tangling issues. Neat and clean!
Performance - For objects near the Meridian (imaginary line
passing from North to South), the Celestron CGX mount will track a full
20 degrees past the Meridian for uninterrupted imaging through the most
ideal part of the sky. The CGX mount has a robust database with over
40,000 objects, utilizing a top quality Nexstar hand controller.
New Optical Design - The EdgeHD optical system takes all of
the compact power popularized by the Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope (SCT)
and combines it with an improved high definition optical system for wide
field, astrograph quality images. As a visual instrument, EdgeHD optics
deliver pinpoint images even with your widest field eyepiece. You can
search for all of the Messier Catalog objects, and see hundreds of other
equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects with amazing clarity.
For astroimaging, the EdgeHD optics produce aberration-free images
across your favorite CCD or DSLR camera. All EdgeHD optics are designed
to produce an extremely flat focal plane precise enough to match the
strict tolerances of the largest commercial CCD detectors, allowing all
stars to be in tight focus to the very edge of the chip. Diffraction Limited
- Some companies boast that their telescopes give diffraction limited
stars in the very center of the field of view. EdgeHD optics not only
produce diffraction limited stars on axis, but maintain diffraction
limited stars across the entire field of view of many of the most
popular astrophotography cameras. Mirror Locks – To hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during imaging. Tube Vents - Each vent has an integrated 60 micron micro-mesh filter allowing hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Fastar Versatility
– All EdgeHD optical tubes are equipped with a removable secondary
mirror for fast f/2 CCD imaging. Not only does imaging in the FASTAR
configuration allow for exposure times that are 25 times faster than at
f/10, but also yields a field of view five times wider. The perfect
combination for imaging your favorite wide field objects in a fraction
of the time. (FASTAR imaging requires a third party lens assembly in
place of the secondary mirror). 82° Eyepiece - EdgeHD
11" optical tubes come with Celestron's top of the line 2" barrel
eyepiece. With a 23 mm focal length and 82° AFOV, you get an incredible
combination of power and wide field of view. Plus this 6-element
eyepiece is optimized to deliver pinpoint images when used with a flat
field telescope.
Celestron's bleeding edge new CGX mount is the current pinnacle of
German Equatorial Mount Engineering. Boasting a wide range of new and
improved features, this mount is simply top quality. It's just plain
better than it's competition and predecessors.
