Celestron CGEM II 925 HD

1. EdgeHD Optical Design: The 9.25-inch EdgeHD optical tube is an aplanatic, flat-field Schmidt-Cassegrain design that delivers visibly sharper images across an ultra-wide field of view, free from coma and field curvature. This advanced construction is tailored for both serious visual observation and demanding astrophotography.

2. CGEM II Equatorial Mount: Paired with the robust and precise CGEM II Computerized German Equatorial Mount, this system provides exceptional stability and tracking accuracy. Its enhanced gearing, PPEC (Permanent Periodic Error Correction), and advanced polar alignment routines ensure pinpoint stars and smooth motions required for long-exposure astrophotography.

3. Superior Light Gathering: With a substantial 235mm (9.25-inch) aperture, the 925 HD excels in light-gathering capability, revealing faint deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies with incredible clarity and brightness. The StarBright XLT optical coatings further maximize light transmission.

4. Advanced GoTo Functionality: The NexStar+ hand control offers a vast database of over 40,000 celestial objects, making target acquisition effortless. Simply select an object, and the CGEM II mount will automatically slew to it, providing an immersive and accessible stargazing experience for astronomers of all levels.
