From a casual night of backyard observing to serious astroimaging at a dark sky location, the CPC Deluxe HD is a customer favorite for any application. The CPC\/CPC Deluxe family is also the telescope of choice for NASA (a CPC 925 is currently deployed aboard the International Space Station) and the late astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who used his CPC Deluxe 1100HD at his home in Cambridge, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelestron’s Best Optics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the view through a CPC Deluxe HD unforgettable? It all starts with our proprietary EdgeHD optical system. This unique design corrects for both coma and field curvature, providing aberration-free images and pinpoint stars across the largest imaging sensors and all the way to the edge of the widest eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll EdgeHD systems include our StarBright XLT coatings on all optical surfaces for brighter images and increased light transmission. Plus, every EdgeHD optical tube is Fastar compatible.

It offers all the same high-end features you’ll find on our German equatorial mounts. Out of the box, your CPC Deluxe can track accurately for up to 30 seconds without adding a wedge, thanks to a reengineered drive train with a 6-inch brass gear, stainless steel worm gear, and both steel and nylon ball bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’ll be doing longer exposure astrophotography, adding the HD Pro Wedge turns this telescope into an astroimager’s dream setup. With a wedge, you can take advantage of the All Star Polar Alignment procedure, which has you polar aligned in just minutes. You can also train your mount to be even more accurate with Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction. Finally, your CPC tracks smoothly through the meridian without doing a meridian flip, enabling you to capture objects in the best part of the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptical Tube Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Design: EdgeHD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture: 279.4mm (11\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Length: 2800mm (110\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Ratio: f\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Length of Eyepiece 1: 23mm (0.91\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnification of Eyepiece 1: 122x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinderscope: 9x50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStar Diagonal: 2\" with 1.25\" adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Tube: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighest Useful Magnification: 660x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLowest Useful Magnification: 40x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimiting Stellar Magnitude: 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution (Rayleigh): 0.5 arc seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolution (Dawes): 0.42 arc seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Gathering Power (Compared to human eye): 1593x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondary Mirror Obstruction: 95mm (3.75\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondary Mirror Obstruction by Diameter: 34%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecondary Mirror Obstruction by Area: 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Coatings: Starbright XLT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Tube Length: 610mm (24\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Tube Diameter: 312.4 (12.3\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Tube Weight: 65 lbs (29.5 kg) with mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDovetail: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount Info\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Type: Computerized Altitude-Azimuth Dual Fork Arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight adjustment range (includes mount and tripod): 1397mm - 1778mm (55\" - 70\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod leg diameter: 50.8mm (2\") Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Head Weight: 65 lbs (29.5 kg) with optical tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory Tray: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTripod Weight: 19 lbs (8.6 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlew Speed: 9 slew speeds - max speed 5°\/second\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Rates: Sidereal, Solar and Lunar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking Modes: Altazimuth, EQ North and EQ South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPS: Internal 16 channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDovetail Compatibility: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Auxiliary Ports: 2 AUX Ports (Hand Control can use any of the AUX Ports)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutoguide Port: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB Port: Yes, on hand control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Requirements: 12 VDC-1.5A (Tip positive)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor Drive: DC servo motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlignment Procedures: Sky Align, Auto Two-Star Align, Two-Star Align, Solar System Align, EQ North Align and EQ South Align\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriodic Error Correction: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputerized Hand Control: 2 line x 18 character backlit Liquid Crystal Display, 19 LED backlit buttons, USB 2.0 Port for PC connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNexStar+ Database: 40,000+ objects, 100 user defined programmable objects.

Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result. Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it. Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct carries full 2 year Celestron factory limited warranty (within US\/Canada only).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50769573052704,"sku":"11009","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/2135\/2480\/files\/11009_cpc_deluxe_1100_hd_1_570x380_2x_ebec24bc-a18b-45b4-a2d3-2a87c7bb05cf.webp?v=1768571262","url":"https:\/\/firstlightastro.com\/products\/celestron-11009","provider":"First Light Astro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
