Discover the unparalleled clarity and detail that the C8-A, 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly brings to your astronomical observations. This high-quality optical tube is engineered to fit CGE mounts seamlessly, providing a sturdy and durable platform for your celestial explorations.At the heart of this advanced optical system lies the StarBright XLT high transmission optical design, a testament to innovative engineering. This design is comprised of three critical components that work in harmony to deliver one of the most exceptional coatings available for amateur and professional astronomers alike:1. Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror coatings that maximize reflectivity, ensuring that as much light as possible is directed through the optical path.2. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings on the corrector lens, which reduce the loss of light due to reflection, providing brighter, sharper images.3. High Transmission Water White glass with superior light transmission properties, minimizing the dispersion of light and producing images with remarkable contrast and resolution.With an impressive 8-inch aperture, the C8-A gathers ample light to reveal the faintest details of distant galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, making it a superior choice for those seeking to delve deeper into the mysteries of the night sky. The large aperture not only enhances image brightness but also increases the resolving power, allowing you to observe finer details that would be missed with smaller optics.The 1.25-inch eyepiece diameter is a versatile feature that accommodates a wide range of eyepieces and accessories, enabling you to customize your viewing experience according to your specific needs and preferences.Choose the C8-A, 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly for its advanced StarBright XLT coatings, robust construction, and exceptional optical performance. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just starting out, this optical tube assembly will elevate your stargazing sessions and provide you with breathtaking views of the cosmos.

I haven't taken the C-11 out yet. I hope to on 3/26 weather permitting

C-11 review

This is a great scope! The additional brightness and magnification compared to my 5? SCT is dramatic.

Great upgrade from 5? SCT

Gracias

Very nice. Make sure you research the mount and tripod before buying.

Works great

I've wanted a Celestron OTA for quite some time.  Having started with smaller scopes (a 5" Maksutov) and an 8" Dobsonian, the next step was to acquire the Celestron.  The wait was worth t - this is a great scope.

Celestron 8" OTA

This telescope replaced my heavier 12" SCT and is more portable when used with my German Equatorial Mount.
The Owl nebula  Messier 97 was easily seen with this telescope and a UHC filter from my city location. Detail on the planet Saturn was excellent.
