PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Celestron CGX-L 1100 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope Bundle offers an exceptional combination of large-aperture optics and a high-capacity German Equatorial Mount. Built for professional-grade astronomy and astrophotography, this 11-inch system brings serious power to both planetary viewing and deep-sky imaging. Featuring StarBright XLT coatings and a classic f/10 optical system, the Celestron 1100 OTA ensures crystal-clear image quality, exceptional light gathering, and crisp resolution of fine details.
Mounted on the advanced CGX-L Equatorial Mount, this system is engineered to support heavy payloads up to 75 lbs while maintaining rock-solid stability and tracking precision. The mount’s internal cabling, dual-fit dovetail saddle, home and limit sensors, and backlash-reducing worm gears all come together to form a professional setup with robust software integration. Whether you're building a home observatory or capturing long-exposure images under dark skies, this bundle is optimized for accuracy, flexibility, and performance over long sessions. The CGX-L 1100 is an ideal choice for serious astronomers looking to expand into permanent or semi-permanent observational setups.
