Celestron CGEM II 925 EdgeHD 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

Make your stargazing experience exceptional with the high-quality CGEM II 925 EdgeHD 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope. This advanced telescope combines Celestron's redesigned CGEM II computerized equatorial mount with the acclaimed EdgeHD optical system, offering a superior viewing experience for astronomy enthusiasts.With a large aperture of over 9 inches, this durable telescope gathers over 1000 times more light than the naked eye, producing brighter and clearer images of celestial objects. The EdgeHD optical system is an innovative, aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain design that delivers aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view.The telescope's optical system is designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma; it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. This ensures sharp, detailed images across some of the largest CCD chips available today, making it a premier choice for astroimaging.The CGEM II 925 EdgeHD is equipped with Celestron's StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, maximizing light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. This, combined with superior edge performance, not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but also improves resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture.The sturdy telescope tube has been redesigned with mirror clutches and tube vents to ensur

• Mirror clutches - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images. Once focused the flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or on the sensor).| Tube vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 50-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.| Fastar versatility - EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. At its native f/10 you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary lunar and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging.
