Ready to see the moon and more? Become an expert in astronomy today. The Celestron EdgeHD is an aplanatic flat-field Schmidt optical system designed to produce aberration-free images with pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of the field of view of today's largest imaging sensors and wide field eyepieces. EdgeHD virtually eliminates both field curvature and off-axis star coma with many more features available.
Celestron EdgeHD 11-Inch Optical Tube Assembly
Celestron EdgeHD 11-Inch Optical Tube Assembly has a premium StarBright XLT coatings that provides maximum light transmission and a 9x50 finderscope, 2-Inch mirror diagonal for more comfortable viewing, and wide-angle 23 mm Luminos 2-Inch eyepiece which is designed to produce aberration-free images.
CGX-L Equatorial Mount and Tripod
The Mount holds a 75 lb load capacity. It contains 144 mm diameter worm wheels that are constructed with spring-loaded brass worm wheel and stainless steel worm gear that reduce friction and provide optimum gear mesh for heavier loads.
Motor
Clear windows built into motor covers so pulleys and belts can be monitored. Improved motors provide more torque and tracking under heavy loads and the heavy duty belt-drive system minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation at full capacity.
Electronics
The mount comes with additional Aux accessory ports and autoguider ports on the Dec axis. NexStar+ hand control with USB port tells you much about the night sky with a press of a button. The USB 2.0 port is used to connect directly to the PC with PWI Software. The PEC sensor and PPEC ready are also present.
Stainless Steel Tripod Legs
The 70mm stainless steel tripod legs have a wider stance for improved stability under heavy loads. Tripod legs can be collapsed with accessory tray installed for faster setup and transport.
