Product Description
The CGE-1400 (XLT) Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is part of Celestrons Top-of-the-Line German Equatorial mounted astronomical telescopes. With over three times the light gathering power of an 8 telescope, this observatory-class instrument is Celestrons largest optical system in its class. This telescope is especially at home as a solid platform for long exposure photography with optional CCD cameras or photographic equipment; it is a serious scientific research tool. German Equatorial mounts are recognized as being the superior choice for astrophotography because of their rock solid stability, simple balancing easy accessibility for attaching equipment. Used in the Fastar configuration for f/2 CCD imaging, the CGE 1400 (XLT) can display the faint detail of a telescope twice its aperture used visually. With sophisticated software features like Hibernate function, the CGE can maintain its star alignment night after night without needing to be re-aligned, making it an ideal instrument for a permanent observatory facility. The CGE 1400 (XLT) takes full advantage of its vast database of thousands of NGC and Abell galaxies as well as delivering a new level of detail to all your favorite deep sky objects. Turn this scope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassinis 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.
