Celestron CGX 925 SC

1. Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube: The Celestron CGX 925 SC features a 9.25-inch (235mm) Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube, a catadioptric design that combines mirrors and a corrective lens to deliver a long focal length in a compact, portable tube. This construction minimizes chromatic aberration and offers excellent versatility for both planetary observation and deep-sky imaging. The optics are StarBright XLT coated for maximum light transmission and clarity.

2. CGX German Equatorial Mount: This telescope is paired with Celestron's robust and precise CGX Computerized German Equatorial Mount. Designed for stability and performance, the CGX mount is optimized for imaging with a lower profile and improved ergonomics. It boasts a substantial payload capacity and advanced tracking capabilities, making it ideal for the demands of long-exposure astrophotography.

3. Precision Tracking and GoTo: The CGX mount features high-performance DC servo motors and precision gears, ensuring incredibly smooth and accurate tracking for both visual observing and astrophotography. Its integrated GoTo system allows automated slewing to over 40,000 celestial objects in its database, quickly putting celestial wonders into your eyepiece or camera frame with impressive accuracy.

4. Unmatched Portability and Setup: Despite its large aperture, the 9.25-inch SCT tube remains relatively compact, making it manageable for transport to dark-sky sites. The CGX mount and tripod are engineered for straightforward setup and breakdown, featuring ergonomic handles and oversized knobs. Its robust steel tripod provides a rock-solid foundation, minimizing vibrations for crisp, steady views and stable imaging platforms.

ABOUT THE CELESTRON CGX 925 SC

The Celestron CGX 925 SC stands out by combining the highly acclaimed 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) optical tube with the advanced, virtually silent CGX computerized German equatorial mount. This particular SCT model is celebrated for offering a larger aperture than the traditional 8-inch SCT, providing significantly improved light-gathering capability and resolution, while maintaining excellent portability compared to 11-inch or 14-inch models. This careful balance makes it an exceptional instrument for both dedicated astrophotography and detailed visual observation of planets, the Moon, and deep-sky objects. The CGX mount, with its superior stability, tracking accuracy, and advanced features like Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC) and built-in port for autoguiding, ensures that the optical performance of the 9.25-inch SCT is fully realized even during long-exposure imaging sessions. Constructed with high-quality aluminum optical tube and heavy-duty steel tripod legs, this telescope system is built for durability and precision, offering a premium experience for serious hobbyists and astronomers alike.
