The Celestron CGEM DX 1100HD - a double Sky & Telescope Hot Product - combines big 11" EdgeHD high definition optics with a Celestron CGEM DX go-to  mount to give you a superlative and surprisingly portable true astrographic-quality telescope.

The Celestron CGEM II 800 EDGEHD telescope puts unique new 8" aplanatic(free from coma and corrected for spherical aberration)EdgeHD highdefinition Schmidt optics on a precision Celestron CGEM II  go-to German equatorial mount.... 

The Celestron CGX-L 1100HD telescope puts big aperture 11" aplanatic EdgeHD high definition/high contrast optics on a CGX-L go-to German equatorial mount  to give you an ultra-high performance telescope you'll enjoy for years . . .

This Celestron CGX Equatorial 1100 HD Telescope is a large, yet portable, astronomer's dream. The EdgeHD optics excel at astro-photography giving you the edge you have been looking for.

• Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
• Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
• NEW Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift.
• Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust.
• Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
• Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 390-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.
• The CGX, with its 55 lb. load capacity, is Celestron’s most innovative, state-of-the art, computerized equatorial mount to date, and provides a very sturdy and rigid platform for the fully-loaded RASA 8.
• The drive system utilizes low cog DC Servo motors with integrated optical encoders, belt and pulley motor connection, spring-loaded steel worm gears supported by precision sealed bearings, and brass worm wheels for smooth, accurate slewing and tracking performance with little backlash.
• Fully remote imaging capable, with optical limit switches, home sensors, through-mount cabling, and hard stops.
• Included Celestron PWI software allows direct computer control via USB 2.0 connection.
• Proven NexStar+ computerized telescope control technology supports functions to address imagers’ needs, such as All-Star Polar Alignment, Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC), and adjustable tracking through meridian.

The Celestron CGX Equatorial 800 HD 8" telescope puts unique new 8" aplanatic (free from coma and corrected for spherical aberration) EdgeHD high definition Schmidt optics on a precision Celestron CGX go-to German equatorial mount.

The Celestron CGEMII  925 HD  combines 9.25" EdgeHD high definition optics with a precision Celestron CGEM go-to mount in an astrographic-quality telescope that any astronomer would be proud to call their own.

The new Celestron CGX-L 1400HD telescope puts the immense light-gathering of 14" aplanatic EdgeHD high definition/high contrast optics on a CGX-L go-to German equatorial mount to give you a high performance telescope that can fulfill your every visual and imaging desire . . .
