Celestron 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain CGX Equatorial Telescope

The Celestron CGX 1100 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is a high-performance setup combining a 279 mm (11-inch) Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with StarBright XLT coatings and the newly engineered CGX equatorial mount. Designed for both astrophotographers and visual observers, this telescope offers a rigid and highly stable platform. The CGX mount stands out with its ergonomic design, improved cable management system, internal cabling, and powerful motor system that boosts torque and stability while drastically reducing backlash. The CGE PRO-style tripod with 2.75-inch legs ensures excellent vibration dampening, crucial for precise imaging. The CGX mount can track 20° past the meridian, allowing uninterrupted views and imaging of optimal sky areas. With a database of over 40,000 celestial objects and NexStar hand controller, the CGX 1100 ensures intuitive navigation and exceptional performance night after night.
