Outstanding Optics & Precise Tracking – The Celestron CGX 1100 EdgeHD Computerized Telescope

As an industry leader in revolutionary optics and high performance mounts, this Celestron EdgeHD Computerized Telescope has it all! Collecting an incredible amount of light for bright, highly detailed images and views is the wide 11" aperture. That's 1.4x the light gathering power than the 9.25" EdgeHD! In addition to this, the state-of-the-art EdgeHD technology produces a flat field from corner to corner for optimal image quality. Coma and spherical aberration are non-existent with the aplanatic design, making this one of the most sought after telescopes on the market today!

Carrying this 11” OTA is the highly regarded Celestron CGX. Even at the intense focal length of 2800mm, enjoy smooth and precise tracking across the night sky. A belt and pulley system along with optimized gear mesh reduces backlash significantly for sharper, steadier views. The high payload of 55lbs effortlessly supports this 11” EdgeHD and allows the addition of near limitless accessories! A strong and sturdy tripod with 2” stainless steel legs acts as an anchor, securing this system in place.

Push the Limits of Amateur Astronomy with this Powerful Telescope & Rock-Steady Equatorial Mount!

Celestron has crafted this CGX 1100 EdgeHD Computerized Telescope with outstanding light gathering abilities and substantial tracking precision. The option to add near limitless accessories elevates your visual sessions and astrophotography experience even more, making this a well rounded, versatile set up for all of your astronomy endeavors. Read more about this Celestron Computerized Telescope below and see why it's a cut above the rest!

Prime Optics with EdgeHD Technology from Celestron
Formulated with astrophotographers in mind, Celestron has engineered this aplanatic optical design with an inherent flat field for peak performance. Stars are sharp all the way to the corners and images are pristine in the absence of spherical and coma aberration. This large 11" aperture telescope collects 1.4x more light than the 9.25" EdgeHD for more defined, higher contrast views, and the patented Celestron StarBright XLT coatings on every surface maximize light transmission into your eyepiece or camera sensor. The focal length of 2800mm presents a deep look into the night sky, making the discovery of our universe incredibly fun and exciting! For increased image stability, mirror clutches firmly hold your mirror in place while tube vents provide an escape of hot air during temperature shifts. Attach a third party lens accessory such as the Starizona HyperStar (not included) for wickedly fast f/1.9 imaging! Ensuring that each OTA is of the utmost quality, Celestron tests every EdgeHD telescope prior to shipping.

55lb Payload, High Precision Tracking
A high payload capacity, precision mechanics, and a user friendly design makes this Celestron CGX a fitting choice to pair with the 11” EdgeHD. As so, this equatorial mount can be loaded with up to 55lbs of equipment, and hauls this 28lb telescope with ease. The belt driven system within the mount head provides consistent motor operation, and spring loaded worm wheels in both axes keep tracking steady and precise. Designed with astronomy enthusiasts in mind, ergonomics such as well placed carrying handles, smooth latitude/azimuth adjustment knobs, internal cabling, and easy to grip dovetail knobs make user experience a dream! Also, the EQ head position can be adjusted to centralize this system’s weight over the tripod for further stability.

Ideal for Visual Astronomy and Astrophotography
At 11” in aperture, enjoy the best of both worlds! Coming standard with a 23mm eyepiece, enjoy up close and personal views of the Orion Nebula, Saturn’s rings, the Whirlpool Galaxy, and plenty more. The included star diagonal further enhances your visual experience by providing comfortable viewing, and the 9x50 finderscope makes alignment a breeze! Or, attach your DSLR or dedicated astroimaging camera and share this beauty with friends and family. The robust design and inner workings of the CGX delivers high precision tracking, an element crucial in long exposure astrophotography. Whether using for visual or astrophotography, this CGX 11” EdgeHD is sure to impress!

Included NexStar+ Hand Controller
Equipped with a NexStar+ hand controller, easily find objects to observe, star align, and even polar align your mount! With the All Star Polar Alignment routine built into this hand controller, polar alignment can be achieved even with obstructed views of the celestial poles. An object database of over 40,000 objects and the ability to add 100 user defined targets will have you exploring the cosmos night after night, and 19 large, back lit buttons are clearly labeled and easy to navigate. Enjoy clear 2 line x 18 character lettering with the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen, illuminated in red to help preserve your night vision! In addition, this controller has a USB port for connection to a PC for software control. Please note: Celestron does not include a USB cable with their hand controller. We recommend the Apertura USB 2.0 Cable for Celestron NexStar+ Hand Controllers.

Optimized for Backyard Observatories
Looking to engage in backyard observing? This CGX 11” EdgeHD Computerized Telescope is perfect for you! The home and limit sensors as well as the mechanical hard stop built into the CGX work together to prevent accidental collisions with the tripod. These equipment protection mechanisms give you a peace of mind knowing your gear stays safe without having to constantly monitor your rig. Also, your power supply remains intact with the threaded, fixed power port, and internal cabling helps prevent loose cables from getting caught. With the mount head weight of 44lbs, tripod weight of 19lbs, OTA weight of 28lbs, and three 11lb counterweights, this burly system excels as a stationary, long term setup. Having a ready-to-go system such as this one drastically cuts down on set up time and allows for more observation time. With features like these, the CGX 11” EdgeHD Computerized Telescope earns our High Point Scientific category badge of Backyard Observing!

Upgrade Your Experience with a Myriad of Accessories!
Two available AUX ports found on the CGX provide the option to add a wide range of accessories. Whether you want to attach the Celestron StarSense AutoAlign for your alignment or needs, or even add WiFi capabilities to this CGX with the SkyPortal WiFi Module, Celestron has you covered! Need a dew solution? The Celestron 11” Dew Heater Rings fight pesky dew from forming on your optics for crystal clear images all night long. To get you started with astrophotography, the Celestron T-Adapter allows easy installation of your camera, while the 0.7x Focal Reducer provides you with great imaging versatility and target options. Connect the StarSense Autoguider to this CGX for improved tracking and even better astroimages! With this multitude of accessories and upgrades, your Celestron CGX 11” EdgeHD Telescope is timeless.
