The
CGE-925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is part of Celestron’s “Top-of-the-Line”
GermanEquatorial mounted astronomical telescopes. The larger CGE-925 is still
portable enough to take with you, yet it offers a 33% increase in light
gathering power over 8" telescopes. This telescope is especially at home as a
solid platform for long exposure photography with optional CCD cameras or
photographic equipment. Using an f/6.3 Focal Reducer makes it usable with a wide
variety of CCD cameras. German Equatorial mounts are recognized as being the
superior choice for astrophotography because of their rock solid stability,
simple balancing and easy accessibility for attaching equipment. This, coupled
with the CGE line’s GoTo capability, makes it unbeatable. As a visual instrument
you can search for all of the Messier Catalog objects, and you can see hundreds
of other, less famous, but equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects.
Turn this scope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter;
see Cassini’s Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the
surface of Mars. Even the distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your
reach.
