Celestron CGX-L 1400 EdgeHD

1. EdgeHD Optics: Celestron’s proprietary EdgeHD optical system delivers truly aplanatic, coma-free images across a wide field of view. This advanced catadioptric design corrects for both spherical and coma distortions, ensuring pinpoint stars from the center to the very edge of your astrophotography sensor or eyepiece.

2. Massive Aperture: Featuring an impressive 14-inch (356 mm) aperture, the CGX-L 1400 EdgeHD gathers an immense amount of light, revealing faint deep-sky objects with stunning clarity and intricate details on planetary surfaces. This large light-gathering capability makes it ideal for professional-grade imaging and advanced visual observation.

3. StarBright XLT Coatings: All optical surfaces are treated with Celestron’s StarBright XLT multi-coatings, which significantly increase light transmission through the entire optical system. This results in brighter images, enhanced contrast, and superior color fidelity, even in challenging viewing conditions.

4. Versatile Use: Engineered for both exceptional visual astronomy and demanding astrophotography, the CGX-L 1400 EdgeHD offers ample back focus for various imaging accessories and CCD/CMOS cameras. Its robust construction and precise mechanics make it suitable for permanent observatory installations or serious mobile astronomy setups.
