Telescope-Catadioptric Telescopes-Celestron CGX 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.

55lb Payload, High Precision Tracking
A high payload capacity, precision mechanics, and a user friendly design makes this Celestron CGX a fitting choice to pair with the 9.25” EdgeHD. As so, this equatorial mount can be loaded with up to 55lbs of equipment, and hauls this 21lb telescope with ease. The belt driven system within the mount head provides consistent motor operation, and spring loaded worm wheels in both axes keep tracking steady and precise. Designed with astronomy enthusiasts in mind, ergonomics such as well placed carrying handles, smooth latitude/azimuth adjustment knobs, internal cabling, and easy to grip dovetail knobs make user experience a dream! Also, the EQ head position can be adjusted to centralize this system’s weight over the tripod for further stability.

Ideal for Visual Astronomy and Astrophotography
At 9.25” in aperture, enjoy the best of both worlds! Coming standard with a 23mm eyepiece, enjoy up close and personal views of the core of the Orion Nebula, the cloud bands on Jupiter, the full disk of the Moon, and plenty more. The included star diagonal further enhances your visual experience by providing comfortable viewing, and the 9×50 finderscope makes alignment a breeze! Or, attach your DSLR or dedicated astroimaging camera and share this beauty with friends and family. The robust design and inner workings of the CGX delivers high precision tracking, an element crucial in long exposure astrophotography. Whether using for visual or astrophotography, this CGX 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 Observatories
Looking to engage in backyard observing? This CGX 9.25” EdgeHD Computerized Telescope is perfect for you! The home and limit sensors as well as the mechanical hard stop built into the CGX work together to prevent accidental collisions with the tripod. 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 internal cabling helps prevent loose cables from getting caught. With the mount head weight of 44lbs, tripod weight of 19lbs, OTA weight of 21lbs, and two 11lb counterweights, 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 9.25” EdgeHD Computerized Telescope earns our High Point Scientific category badge of Backyard Observing!

Upgrade Your Experience with a Myriad of Accessories!
Two available AUX ports found on the CGX provide the option to add a wide range of accessories. Whether you want to attach the Celestron StarSense AutoAlign for your alignment or needs, or even add WiFi capabilities to this CGX 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 for improved tracking and even better astroimages! With this multitude of accessories and upgrades, your Celestron CGX 9.25” EdgeHD Telescope is timeless.
