Telescope-Computerized Telescopes-Celestron CGX-L 925 EdgeHD Computerized Telescope

Prime Optics with EdgeHD Technology from Celestron
Formulated with astrophotographers in mind, Celestron has engineered this aplanatic optical design with an inherent flat field for peak performance. Stars are sharp all the way to the corners and images are pristine in the absence of spherical and coma aberration. This large 9.25″ aperture telescope collects 1.34x more light than the 8″ EdgeHD for more defined, higher contrast views, and the patented Celestron StarBright XLT coatings on every surface maximize light transmission into your eyepiece or camera sensor. The focal length of 2350mm presents a deep look into the night sky, making the discovery of our universe incredibly fun and exciting! For increased image stability, mirror clutches firmly hold your mirror in place while tube vents provide an escape of hot air during temperature shifts. Attach a third party lens accessory such as the Starizona HyperStar (not included) for wickedly fast f/2.2 imaging! Ensuring that each OTA is of the utmost quality, Celestron tests every EdgeHD telescope prior to shipping.

75lb Payload, High Precision Tracking
Celestron has designed this CGX-L Equatorial Mount to handle heavy, high end OTAs such as this EdgeHD. As opposed to using spur gears to drive the worm gear, this EQ mount utilizes a belt and pulley apparatus to significantly reduce backlash and enhance motor operation. These motors deliver exceptional torque, seen within the 75lb payload capacity. Spring loaded worm wheels in both directions keep the gear mesh optimal for maximum tracking performance. Ergonomics such as well-placed carrying handles, easy to grip dovetail knobs, internal cabling, and smooth latitude/azimuth adjusters make user experience a dream! Also, an adjustable EQ head centralizes the weight of your set up over the tripod for increased stability.

Ideal for Visual Astronomy and Astrophotography
At 9.25” in aperture, enjoy the best of both worlds! The included 23mm eyepiece provides up close and personal views of the Orion Nebula, the cloud bands on Jupiter, the full disk of the Moon, and plenty more. Attach your DSLR or dedicated astroimaging camera to share this beauty with friends and family. With its flat field design, the stars within wide field eyepieces and full frame cameras are sharp and pinpoint, even to the corners of the frame. The robust design and inner workings of the CGX-L delivers high precision tracking, an element crucial in long exposure astrophotography. Whether using for visual or astrophotography, this CGX-L 9.25″ EdgeHD is sure to impress!

Included NexStar+ Hand Controller
Equipped with a NexStar+ hand controller, easily find objects to observe, star align, and even polar align your mount! With the All Star Polar Alignment routine built into this hand controller, polar alignment can be achieved even with obstructed views of the celestial poles. An object database of over 40,000 objects and the ability to add 100 user defined targets will have you exploring the cosmos night after night, and 19 large, back lit buttons are clearly labeled and easy to navigate. Enjoy clear 2 line x 18 character lettering with the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen, illuminated in red to help preserve your night vision! In addition, this controller has a USB port for connection to a PC for software control. Please note: Celestron does not include a USB cable with their hand controller. We recommend the Apertura USB 2.0 Cable for Celestron NexStar+ Hand Controllers.

Optimized for Backyard or Remote Observatories
Looking to set up a remote observatory or engage in backyard observing? This CGX-L 9.25″ EdgeHD Computerized Telescope is ideal for both! The home and limit sensors as well as the mechanical hard stop built into the CGX-L work together to prevent accidental collisions with the tripod or pier. These equipment protection mechanisms give you a peace of mind knowing your gear stays safe without having to constantly monitor your rig. Also, your power supply remains intact with the threaded, fixed power port, and strategically placed AUX and autoguiding ports help prevent loose cables from getting caught. With the mount head weight of 53lbs, tripod weight of 46lbs, and OTA weight of 21lbs, this burly system excels as a stationary, long term setup. Having a ready-to-go system such as this one drastically cuts down on set up time and allows for more observation time. With features like these, the CGX-L 9.25 EdgeHD Computerized Telescope earns our High Point Scientific Astrophotography Mount Classification Badges of Remote Observatory Grade and Backyard Observing!

Upgrade Your Experience with a Myriad of Accessories!
Four available AUX ports found on the CGX-L provide ample room for a wide range of additions. Whether you want to attach the Celestron StarSense AutoAlign for your alignment or needs, or even add WiFi capabilities to this CGX-L with the SkyPortal WiFi Module, Celestron has you covered! Need a dew solution? The Celestron 9.25” Dew Heater Rings fight pesky dew from forming on your optics for crystal clear images all night long. To get you started with astrophotography, the Celestron T-Adapter allows easy installation of your camera, while the 0.7x Focal Reducer provides you with great imaging versatility and target options. Connect the StarSense Autoguider to this CGX-L for improved tracking and even better astroimages! With this multitude of accessories and upgrades, your Celestron CGX-L 9.25″ EdgeHD Computerized Telescope is timeless.
