The 11" CGX Equatorial 1100 EdgeHD Telescope merges Celestron's premier EdgeHD optical system with the robust, computerized CGX Equatorial mount. Designed for serious visual stargazers and demanding astrophotographers, this setup delivers 89% more light-gathering power than an 8-inch scope with incredible pinpoint star clarity across full-frame sensors.
Deep Space PerfectionAdvanced Engineering for Serious Astrophotographers
Experience deep space like never before with the 11" CGX Equatorial 1100 EdgeHD Telescope. Featuring an aplanatic, flat-field Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube assembly, this telescope eliminates off-axis star coma and field curvature to guarantee edge-to-edge sharpness across large CCD and CMOS camera chips. Engineered with flexible mirror clutches, integrated mesh tube vents, and StarBright XLT optical coatings, every exposure retains maximum contrast and resolution. The companion heavy-duty CGX computerized mount provides ultra-smooth tracking via a belt-drive system, internal cable management, optical home and limit sensors, and professional-grade CPWI control software to maximize your remote imaging capabilities.
