About Celestron CGX-L Telescope

Why settle for less when you can explore the cosmos with the Celestron CGX-L 1400, a 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope This state-of-the-art telescope is the latest addition to Celestron's renowned computerized equatorial mount series. Designed for both backyard astronomers and remote imagers, the CGX-L is engineered to handle Celestron's largest optical tubes with ease, offering an exceptional load capacity to weight ratio in a compact design.

The CGX-L is packed with innovative features that support large telescopes, imaging kits, and the latest wireless tech accessories. Its key design elements include larger 144 mm diameter worm wheels for smoother operation and more accurate driving of heavier loads, and a longer 270 mm dovetail saddle to support larger optical tubes.

This telescope is remote operation friendly, with features such as home and limit optical sensors, easier polar alignment adjustments, and superior cable management. The mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and more portable.

The CGX-L boasts an increased 75 lb load capacity and additional Aux accessory ports and autoguider port on the Dec axis for better cable management. Its massive 70 mm stainless steel tripod legs with a wider stance offer improved stability under heavy loads. The new accessory tray holds three 1.25" and two 2" eyepieces with an upright stand for your smartphone or tablet.

The heavy-duty, 31.5 mm stainless steel counterweight shaft supports additional counterweights. The mount also supports WiFi and wireless operation accessories such as StarSense AutoAlign and SkyPortal WiFi Module (sold separately).

The compact, lower profile equatorial head provides improved stability and portability. The improved motors offer more torque, better slewing, and tracking under heavy loads. The heavy-duty belt-drive system minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation at full capacity.

The CGX-L comes with Celestron's new PWI telescope control software, co-developed by PlaneWave Instruments. This software features multi-point mount modeling for extremely precise pointing accuracy. The software Polar Align: "All-Star Polar Alignment" allows quick and very precise polar alignment.

The redesigned tripod has a widened stance for added stability. The tripod legs can be collapsed with the accessory tray installed for faster setup and transport. Integrated handles and ergonomically designed dovetail clamping knobs make for easy transport and portability.

The CGX-L 1400, 14" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is not just a telescope; it's a gateway to the universe. Explore the stars with precision, stability, and ease.
