Product description With a large aperture and a long effective focal length despite its short physical length, combined with a sturdy and precise mount, the Celestron CGX EQ 925 235mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope is an ideal rig for both celestial observation and astrophotography. It comes with the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT) optical tube assembly (OTA), a solid motorized equatorial mount, the venerable NexStar+ computer hand controller, an eyepiece, and a 90° star diagonal. Whether you're conducting planetary or deep-space viewing or imaging, the CGX EQ 925 provides near-research-quality performance while still being portable. - C9 1/4-A XLT 9.25" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (OTA Only, CGE Dovetail)
- CGX Intro by Bryan Cogdell
Outfitted with a large aperture, long effective focal length, and their proprietary StarBright XLT optical coatings, the Celestron C9 1/4-A XLT 9.25" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope provides power and portability. The coating system consists of anti-reflection coatings on the corrector plate, highly reflective index mirror coatings, and low-absorption/high-transmission glass components to ensure that the maximum amount of light is gathered and transmitted to your eye. This system ensures bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color rendition across the entire visual spectrum without visible distortion at the edges. Celestron includes a standard 1.25" visual back to accept eyepieces and accessories such as the 25mm eyepiece and 90° diagonal supplied with the optical tube assembly (OTA). This OTA is offered here without a mount or tripod for users who already have a support system. Just ensure the mount's payload capacity exceeds 20 pounds to safely carry the weight and that the mount has a Losmandy-style saddle to match the OTA's CGE mounting plate. - Optical Tube
-
- 9.25" (235mm) aperture
- f/10 focal ratio
- 2350mm effective focal length
- Schmidt-Cassegrain design optical path
- StarBright XLT optical coatings

UPC: 050234102797 - CGEM II GoTo EQ Mount with Tripod Celestron updates their venerable and versatile mid-level mount with the CGEM II GoTo EQ Mount. Engineered to carry a 40-pound payload and high-torque dual DC servo motors, it is able to smoothly and accurately slew and track heavier optical tube assemblies (OTAs) and rigs up to an 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain. Its Vixen/Losmandy dual dovetail saddle makes the mount compatible with most plates used today. Celestron also improves its usage by adding compatibility with their SkySync GPS unit for a higher level of precision during setup and alignment. To provide a stable platform for the mount and your OTA, a heavy-duty stainless steel tripod is included that sports large 2" legs and an accessory tray that doubles as a stabilizer.The brain of the CGEM II is the NexStar+ computer controller. Equipped with a database of 40,000 objects, including the planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and the complete Messier catalog, it can also be programmed with up 100 custom user-defined objects with filters added for custom object lists. Its intuitive menu-driven user interface provides the power to observe the heavens 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.
