Celestron CPC 925 StarBright XLT GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain 2350mm Telescope with Tripod and Tube
The Celestron CPC 925 StarBright XLT GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is a top-of-the-line instrument that offers exceptional performance and convenience for both experienced amateur astronomers and astrophotographers. With its rock-solid dual Fork arm mount and large aperture, this telescope is a favorite among stargazers.
One of the standout features of the CPC 925 is its revolutionary SkyAlign technology, which makes alignment a breeze. Coupled with an internal GPS system, this telescope can quickly and accurately locate over 40,000 celestial objects. Simply use the computerized hand control to slew to your desired target and track it as it moves across the night sky. Whether you’re a visual observer or an imager, this telescope has you covered.
For astrophotographers, the CPC 925 offers a range of features that enhance image quality. Its longer focal length primary and lower magnification secondary contribute to a flatter focal plane with less coma and off-axis astigmatism. The optimized baffle design minimizes vignetting at the edge of the field of view, resulting in reduced light drop-off at the corners of your images. Additionally, the hand figured optics ensure the highest optical quality in every telescope.
Setting up and breaking down the CPC 925 is quick and painless thanks to its thoughtful ergonomic design. The heavy-duty die-cast aluminum fork arms provide maximum rigidity, while the unique roller bearing design allows for smooth rotation and stability, especially when used with an optional HD Pro wedge for polar alignment.
The Celestron CPC 925 comes standard with StarBright multi-coatings, which maximize the transmission of light to the film plane. This telescope is also compatible with the complete line of Celestron photographic and visual accessories, allowing you to customize your setup to suit your needs.
With its internal GPS receiver, the CPC 925 automatically downloads the date and time from orbiting satellites, eliminating the need for manual input. Celestron’s NexStar software technology models the night sky to determine the position of every star, planet, and celestial object above the horizon, making alignment as easy as 1-2-3.
The CPC 925 also boasts a vast celestial object database, containing over 40,000 objects including Messier objects, the Caldwell Catalog, NGC Galaxies, nebulae, and planets. User-definable filter limits make navigating through this expansive database quick and easy.
Overall, the Celestron CPC 925 StarBright XLT GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is a game-changer in the world of amateur astronomy. Its advanced features, high-quality optics, and user-friendly design make it a top choice for both visual observers and astrophotographers. Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just starting out, this telescope will take your stargazing experience to new heights.
