Celestron CGX 800 HD - The high-end EdgeHD 8″ computer equatorial mount package

Visit CGX 800 HD combines two exceptional elements: the optical tube EdgeHD 8″, renowned for its razor-sharp images, and the sturdy equatorial mount CGX, designed for advanced visual observation and demanding astrophotography.
This is one of the most powerful and versatile sets for those wishing to enter the world of high-resolution and deep imaging with a reliable, upgradeable instrument.

EdgeHD 8″ high-definition optical tube

The EdgeHD is an aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain offering a perfectly flat field and without coma over the entire image. Unlike standard optics, it guarantees sharp stars right up to the edges, making it an ideal choice for modern sensors, even large ones.

No shifting on EdgeHD models, which is very important for photography!

With its 203 mm and its focal length of 2032 mm (f/10), it offers impressive light-gathering power and outstanding performance on the Moon, planets, globular clusters, planetary nebulae and bright galaxies.

Treatments StarBright XLT maximize light transmission, ensuring bright, high-contrast, detailed images.
