Ready to see the moon and more? Stargazing is fun but why don't you take it up to the next level and become an expert in astronomy today. The Celestron CGX 9.25-inch EdgeHD SCT Go-To Telescope allows you to have your very own backyard observatory. Enjoy the stars.

Celestron EdgeHD 9.25-inch Optical Tube Assembly

Celestron's revolutionary aplanatic EdgeHD optics reduce off-axis star coma while providing an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. The result is a focal plane more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs, guaranteeing sharp stars across today's largest CCD sensors.

Celestron CGX Equatorial Mount and Tripod

The two integrated handles on the mount allow for easy pickup and transport. The ergonomically designed dovetail clamping knobs helps to keep the OTA on securely. When polar is aligning the mount, the latitude adjuster allows for smooth and easy adjustment under full loads and there is an optional add-on polar axis finderscope for better results.

Internal Sensors

There are two internal optical sensors for simple and safe remote operation. The Home sensor allows the mount to always start in the index position regardless of orientation before a power reset and the Limit sensor automatically shuts off slewing or tracking before reaching the hard stop fail safe. The internal hard stops for both axes prevent cable tension and tripod strike.

Motor

Improved motors provide more torque and tracking under heavy loads and the heavy duty belt-drive system minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation at full capacity. The mount has internal cabling for worry-free remote operation. Power input and lower accessory ports remain stationary while the mount slews to avoid snags.
