Telescope-Catadioptric Telescopes-Celestron CPC Deluxe 1100 with Edge HD Optics

Large 11” Optics
Featuring a focal length of 2800 mm, this powerful telescope presents a deep look into outer space, revealing detail on a wide variety of objects. In addition to this, the large 11” aperture acts as a light bucket, collecting a copious amount of photons for bright, beautiful views within your eyepiece. Marvel at the detail on the planets, the Moon, and distant deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae. Furthering performance even more is the inclusion of the patented StarBright XLT coatings from Celestron. This addition ensures maximum light transmission to your eyepiece or camera sensor—a rated 97.4% transmission to be exact!

Robust Dual Fork Arm Mount
Supporting this premium telescope is this dual fork arm alt-az mount. Re-engineered with a drive train including large 6”, 180 tooth brass gears, a 0.75” stainless steel worm gear, and steel and nylon roller ball bearings, you can enjoy smooth, accurate tracking during your astronomy sessions. Also, improved electronics deliver regulated power to the motors to aid in performance, even during cases of less than ideal balance. Another huge benefit for astrophotography purposes is the ability to track across the meridian uninterrupted, allowing you to capitalize on the best part of the sky. This will, of course, be dependent on your specific imaging train, as too long of imaging trains can collide with the tripod. It’s always important to ensure your specific equipment has enough clearance to avoid possible damage. As far as alignment goes, Celestron makes it easy thanks to their revolutionary SkyAlign technology that comes standard within the included NexStar+ hand controller. Simply point your telescope at three bright objects in the night sky (stars, the Moon, bright planets) to achieve accurate alignment. Once aligned, you’re ready to discover the cosmos!

Double the Use, Double the Fun!
With the Celestron CPC Deluxe 1100, there is no need to choose between visual astronomy or astrophotography—this system lets you take advantage of both worlds! With its substantial 11″ aperture, enjoy bright views and images with the rated limiting stellar magnitude of 14. For visual use, the included 23 mm Luminos eyepiece provides a true field of view of 0.4°, delivering deep sights of the Lagoon Nebula, the full disk of the Moon, Saturn’s rings, and plenty more. Adjoin a 2x Barlow lens (not included) for an even closer look. For those interested in astrophotography, easily hook up your DSLR or dedicated astrocamera to capture Jupiter, Saturn, and plenty more, and share this joy of astronomy with friends and family. No matter how you choose to enjoy your Celestron CPC Deluxe 1100, the versatility provided by this computerized telescope is sure to deliver engaging astro-sessions night after night.

Various Control Options
Adding to this versatility, the Celestron CPC Deluxe 1100 can be operated numerous different ways. For one, the included hand controller allows you to star align, select objects to slew to, change slew speeds, and perform plenty more operations. On the hand controller itself, you’ll find an RS-232 port. This port allows you to connect your PC for control of your CPC Deluxe 1100 with the Celestron NexRemote software, CPWI software, or any other supporting third party platforms. If you’d like to make things much easier and utilize your smartphone or tablet, you have the ability to add a user supplied Celestron SkyPortal WiFi Module to do just this! Simply plug it into one of the two auxiliary ports and operate this Celestron computerized telescope with the SkyPortal app.

Upgrade Your CPC With a Host of Optional Accessories
To help enhance your nights under the stars with the Celestron CPC Deluxe 1100, a myriad of accessories are available for add-on! The Celestron HD Pro Wedge, for instance, turns this altazimuth mount into a powerful equatorial mount, something crucial for long exposure astrophotography. The attachment of the Celestron T-Adapter screws onto the back of this EdgeHD and provides a solid mount for your DSLR or dedicated astro camera. If you’re looking to widen your field of view for imaging, attach the Celestron 0.7x Reducer to bring the native focal length down to 1960 mm and the focal ratio down to f/7. Wanting even more speed? Starizona has designed the revolutionary Hyperstar accessory which brings wildly fast f/2 imaging to this EdgeHD optical assembly! At this speed, you can collect the same amount of light within substantially shorter exposures. These shorter exposures are much less demanding on the mount, and help you produce higher quality images. If you’re in need of a dew solution, the Celestron 11” Dew Ring keeps pesky dew from forming on your front corrector plate for clear views all night long. No matter how you choose to adorn your Celestron CPC Deluxe 1100, the extensive list of accessories available make for a unique, personalized astronomy experience.
