Celestron CGX-L 925

235 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (optical tube only). Tube with diffraction-limited Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, allowing for sharp images across a wide field of view. The Celestron C9.25 is a medium-aperture telescope that has become famous for its remarkable optical performance, which is especially appreciated in planetary imaging. The C9.25 is suitable for universal use, both astronomical and terrestrial, visual and photographic, and belongs to the family of Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, which are among the most modular astronomical instruments in existence; they can work optimally across a very wide range of focal lengths, making them highly effective for a vast array of applications. The optics are treated with XLT high-light-transmission coating. The package includes quality accessories: a 6x30mm finderscope, a 25mm Plössl eyepiece, a 31.8 mm diameter diagonal, and a dovetail bar for EQ5/CG5/EQ6.

Here are some of the key features that make the new CGX-L the flagship of the Celestron range: •Additional Aux ports and an autoguider port on the DEC axis for better cable management; •144 mm diameter worm gear for more accurate tracking even with heavy loads; •270 mm dovetail saddle for better support of larger optical tubes; •Massive 70 mm stainless steel tripod legs for improved stability under heavy loads; •Optional polar axis finderscope custom-designed for CGX and CGX-L; •WiFi support, also with accessories that support its functionality such as Star Sense Auto Align and Sky Portal WiFi Module; •New accessory tray with 1.25” and two 2” slots, plus a stand for your smartphone or tablet. The convenient handles on the mount and the brand-new, even sturdier tripod, combined with the ergonomic design of the accessory tray, make the CGXL mount easy and comfortable to set up. Redesigned knobs, improved materials, and mechanical and electronic advancements make the CGX-L the most technologically advanced Celestron mount ever. The belt drive will allow for smooth, backlash-free tracking even with the heaviest optical tubes, exceeding 30kg, while the integrated optical sensors and internal architecture will allow you to control the mount remotely with ease. The ability to manage the forward and backward movement of the mount allows you to shift the center of gravity at will, enabling the most precise balancing and weight distribution possible. Internal sensors allow you to perform mount operations remotely without worry, avoiding cable strain and ensuring consistently precise parking. The “All-Star Polar Alignment” software allows for fast and highly accurate polar alignment. It includes Celestron’s new PWI telescope control software, co-developed by PlaneWave Instruments, essential for extremely precise sky modeling.
