About Celestron CGX Telescope

For astronomy enthusiasts and professionals alike, the Celestron CGX 925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is a high-quality, durable, and sophisticated piece of equipment. This advanced telescope features Celestron's premium StarBright XLT coated optics, which enhance light transmission for brighter, clearer images. The innovative CGX computerized equatorial mount, a state-of-the-art addition, provides a stable platform for both visual observation and long exposure photography.

The CGX 925 is a perfect blend of portability and high resolution, boasting a large 9.25-inch aperture that gathers over 1000 times more light than the unaided eye. This makes it ideal for viewing distant celestial objects in stunning detail. The telescope is compatible with optional CCD cameras or photographic equipment, making it a versatile tool for both amateur and professional astronomers.

The CGX mount, a new addition to Celestron's trusted CGEM mount lineup, is designed with a lower profile EQ head for a more compact and stable setup. It features improved motors for better slewing and tracking under heavy loads, and a heavy-duty belt-drive system that minimizes backlash. The mount also includes internal cabling for worry-free remote operation and better cable management.

The telescope comes with a sturdy tripod with 2-inch steel legs and height index marks for quick leveling. The tripod's wider stance enhances stability, and its legs can be collapsed with the accessory tray installed for faster setup and transport. The telescope also features two handles for easy transport, ergonomically designed dovetail clamping knobs, and an innovative polar alignment adjustment system.

The CGX 925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is equipped with the new NexStar+ hand control with a USB port, two AUX accessory ports, and a USB 2.0 port for direct PC connection. It's PPEC ready and features an internal Real Time Clock to keep time and site information saved. This telescope is a testament to Celestron's commitment to innovation, quality, and ease-of-use, making it a valuable addition to any astronomer's toolkit.
