Celestron CGE 925 (XLT) Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope

The CGE-925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is part of Celestron’s “Top-of-the-Line” German Equatorial mounted astronomical telescopes. The larger CGE-925 is still portable enough to take with you, yet it offers a 33% increase in light gathering power over 8" telescopes. This model features premium StarBright XLT coatings.

The CGE 925 with Starbright XLT multicoatings combines absolutely superb optical quality with a smooth and accurate computerized mount to provide an exceptional photo/visual instrument for the serious astronomer who wants cutting edge performance in an easily transportable and reasonably-sized telescope.

German Equatorial mounts are recognized as being the superior choice for astrophotography because of their rock solid stability, simple balancing and easy accessibility for attaching equipment. This, coupled with the CGE line’s GoTo capability, makes it the best.

As a visual instrument you can search for all of the Messier Catalog objects, and you can see hundreds of other, less famous, but equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects. Turn this scope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini’s Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even the distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your reach.

In addition to being fully computerized with a database of over 40,000 celestial objects, the CGE German Equatorial mount offers numerous design advantages.
