Celestron CGX 8 inch EdgeHD SCT GoTo Telescope

Highlights

• The Celestron CGX 8 inch EdgeHD SCT GoTo Telescope allows you to have your very own backyard observatory. Enjoy the stars.
• Celestron’s revolutionary aplanatic EdgeHD optics reduce off-axis star coma while providing an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.
• The result is a focal plane more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs, guaranteeing sharp stars across today’s largest CCD sensors.
• The computerized mount holds a 55 lb load capacity. It contains worm wheels that are constructed with spring-loaded brass worm wheel and stainless steel worm gear that reduce friction and provide optimum gear mesh for heavier loads.
• The dual-fit dovetail saddle accepts both the wide, Losmandy/CGE style and the narrower Vixen/CG-5 style dovetails.
