Celestron CGE Pro 925 Edge HD Aplanatic Schmidt Telescope Product Info

The CGE Pro 925 HD combines Celestron's state of the art CGE Pro Computerized Equatorial mount with its new EdgeHD optical system.  With over 9 inches of aperture and our premium StarBright XLT coatings, the CGE Pro 925 HD gives you over 1000 times the light gathering power than the unaided eye.

Features: 

  • 9.25" EdgeHD Optics
  • Celestron premium StarBright XLT coatings
  • CGE PRO computerized Equatorial mount
  • 9x50 finderscope with quick release bracket to help accurately find objects
  • 2" Star diagonal provides more comfortable viewing position when observing objects that are high in the sky
  • Heavy Duty stainless steel tripod adjustable from 38 - 55"

HD Features:

  • New aplanatic Schmidt telescope design produces aberration-free images across a wide field of view
  • Focus adjustment is supported by two pre-loaded ball bearings to minimize the "mirror flop" typical of bushing focus mechanisms
  • Flexible tension mirror locks hold the mirror in place and reduces image shift
  • Cooling vents located on the rear cell allows warm air to be released from behind the primary mirror
  • Fastar ready optics for ultra wide f/2 imaging

Computerized Mount Features:

  • Proven NexStar computer control technology
  • 40,000 object database with over 100 user-definable objects and expanded information on over 200 objects
  • New All-Star Polar Alignment routine for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres
  • Software Features include: Database Filter Limits, Hibernate, five alignment methods and user-defined slew limits
  • Custom Rate 9 feature allows you set maximum slew rate
  • Tandem mode allows you to star align the mount even when positioned for tandem scope use
  • Flash upgradeable hand control software and motor control units for downloading product updates over the Internet
  • Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable stars; solar system objects and asterisms
  • Double line, 16-character Liquid Crystal Display Hand Control with backlit LED buttons for easy operation of Go-To features
  • 12 VDC Servo Motors with integrated optical encoders
  • Permanent Programmable Periodic Error Correction (PEC) - corrects for periodic tracking errors inherent to all worm drives
  • Drive Motors - High quality motors with seven slot skewed armature to minimize magnetic cogging for quiet operation and long life. Precision made cut-steel gears in gearbox for improved tracking precision
  • Bearing and Shaft - Main shafts are made from 1.57" diameter steel tubing with .40" wall thickness with two preloaded 2.68" O.D. tapered roller bearings on each axes
  • Precision worm drive system - .75" pitch dia. precision made steel worm preloaded with two .87" OD ball bearings to minimize run-out (a source of periodic error). 255 tooth 6" pitch dia. precision made worm wheel with enveloping brass teeth
  • Spring loaded DEC worm to minimize backlash and makes guiding easy
  • 4 point RA and DEC clutch system for no-slip pointing precision
  • Autoguide port, PC port and Auxiliary ports located on the electronic pier for long exposure astrophotography
  • Latitude range: 10° to 65° Northern or Southern Hemispheres
  • RS-232 communication port on hand control to control the telescope via a personal computer
  • Includes NexRemote telescope control software, for advanced control of your telescope via computer
  • GPS-compatible with optional SkySync GPS Accessory (93969)
