Home Telescopes Celestron Telescopes Celestron CGX-L Telescopes Celestron CGX-L Equatorial 925 Telescope
The largest yet portable advanced mount system from Celestron paired with the legendary 925 sct optic boasting superb perfomance for visual or imaging astronomy. 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly Aluminum Optical Tube Celestron's premium StarBright XLT coatings 2350 mm focal length (f/10) 25 mm eyepiece included (94x) Visual back allows for use with 1.25" accessories 6x30 finderscope to help accurately find objects Star diagonal provides more comfortable viewing position when observing objects that are high in the sky Includes dovetail rail compatible with CGE mountCGX-L FeaturesIncreased 75 lb load capacity. Exceptional load capacity to weight ratioAdditional Aux accessory ports and autoguider port on the Dec axis for better cable managementLarger 144 mm diameter worm wheels to better and more accurately drive heavier loadsLonger 270 mm dovetail saddle to better support larger optical tubesMassive 70 mm stainless steel tripod legs with a wider stance for improved stability under heavy loadsNew accessory tray holds three 1.25 and two 2 eyepieces with an upright stand for your smartphone or tabletHeavy duty, 31.5 mm stainless steel counterweight shaft to support additional counterweightsOptional add-on polar axis finderscope custom designed for CGX and CGX-LSupports WiFi and wireless operation accessories such as StarSense AutoAlign and SkyPortal WiFi Module (sold separately)Compact, lower profile equatorial head provides improved stability and portability. Sturdier and more rigid with quicker dampening timeImproved motors provide more torque, better slewing and tracking under heavy loadsHeavy duty belt-drive system minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation at full capacityClear windows built into motor covers so pulleys and belts can be monitoredSpring-loaded brass worm wheel and stainless steel worm gear reduce friction and provide optimum gear meshInternal cabling for worry-free remote operation. Power input and lower accessory ports remain stationary while the mount slews to avoid snagsInternal hard stops for both axes prevent cable tension and tripod strikeInternal optical sensors on both axes for simple and safe remote operation-Home sensors allow the mount to always start in the index position regardless of orientation before a power reset-Limit sensors automatically shut off slewing or tracking before reaching the hard stop fail safeIncludes Celestron's new PWI telescope control software, co-developed by PlaneWave Instruments. Software features multi-point mount modeling for extremely precise pointing accuracySoftware Polar Align: All-Star Polar Alignment allows quick and very precise polar alignment. Align on any bright named star without extra polar alignment accessories, apps, or other assistanceAdjustable EQ head position to optimize center of gravity over the tripod and fully utilize the increased 3º-65º latitude rangeDual-fit Vixen/CG-5 and Losmandy/CGE dovetail saddle+20º of additional tracking past the meridian on either sideRedesigned tripod has a widened stance for added stability. The minimum tripod height has also been lowered per user feedbackTripod legs can be collapsed with accessory tray installed for faster setup and transportImproved Ergonomics:Integrated handles for easy transport and portabilityAll-new ergonomically designed dovetail clamping knobsInnovative and improved polar alignment adjustment systemAll-new ergonomic adjustment knobs with reduced friction for smooth and easy positioning under full loads. Stationary latitude knob with a newly-designed linkage system greatly reduces the amount of friction when polar aligning the mount. Redesigned azimuth adjustment with low-friction Teflon bearings to make adjustments easy under full load. No more binding, rough adjustments!Easy to read latitude scaleElectronics:NexStar+ hand control with USB portUSB 2.0 port used to connect directly to PC with PWI Software2 available autoguider ports for optimum cable managementPEC sensor and PPEC readyThreaded 12VDC power input barrel connectorInternal Real Time Clock (keeps time and site information saved)On/Off rocker switch with red LEDOptical Design Schmidt-CassegrainAperture (mm) 234.95 mm (9.25 in)Focal Length 2350 mm (93 in)Focal Ratio 10Focal Length of Eyepiece 1 (mm) 25 mm (0.98 in)Magnification of Eyepiece 1 94xFinderscope 6x30Star Diagonal 1.25Optical Tube AluminumHighest Useful Magnification 555xLowest Useful Magnification 34xLimiting Stellar Magnitude 14.4Resolution (Rayleigh) 0.59 arc secondsResolution (Dawes) 0.49 arc secondsLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye) 1127xSecondary Mirror Obstruction 3.35 in (85 mm)Secondary Mirror Obstruction by Diameter 36%Secondary Mirror Obstruction by Diameter 13%Optical Coatings StarBright XLTOptical Tube Length 22 in (559 mm)Optical Tube Weight 20 lb (9.07 kg)Dovetail Compatibility CGE Mount Mount German EquatorialInstrument load capacity 75 lbTripod height adjustment range 35.75 to 52.75Tripod leg diameter 2.75"Latitude adjustment range 3º-65ºTripod Weight 46.2 lbEQ Head Weight 52.6 lbMax Slew Speed 4º/second (3º/second is default)Tracking Rates Sidereal, Solar and LunarNumber of Auxiliary ports (for hand control and accessories) 4Autoguide port YesUSB Port YesSoftware PWI Telescope Control SoftwareIncluded Items 9.25" Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly CGX-L Equatorial Head CGX-L Tripod Accessory Tray 1 x 22 lbs Counterweight NexStar+ Hand Control DC Power Cable (plugs into cigarette lighter socket) 8 mm Allen Wrench (contained in rear carry handle)
