Celestron Cge 925 Sct Xlt |
| The CGE-925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is part of Celestron’s “Top-of-the-Line” German Equatorial 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 Catalogue 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. FOR MORE GENERAL CGE INFORMATION PLEASE SEE THE CGE 800 PAGE: Clearance – CGE mounts support their tubes at a single contact point allowing the tube to move freely around its polar axis without making contact with the telescope’s mount. This is particularly useful when adding photographic and CCD instruments that extend from the rear of the telescopes. All CGE mounted telescopes are compatible with Celestron’s CN-16 GPS accessory. Combine the GPS and built-in Hibernate mode and these telescopes will keep track and remember their exact location and time without having to enter the information into the hand control. Other CGE Capabilities Include: Mechanical Features: Carbon Fibre Tube - Strong and lightweight with 1/4 the thermal expansion of an aluminium tube on the 8inch and 11inch models. Scratch and dent resistant. CNC machined aluminium and stainless steel components. Auto guide port, PC port and auxiliary ports located on the electronic pier. Strain relief power cord cable protection. Backlit power switch. Drive Motors - Made in the U.S.A., Pittman LO-COGT brush-commutated DC motors offer smooth, quiet operation and long life. The motor armatures are skewed to minimize cogging which is required for low speed tracking. Windings are resin impregnated for greater reliability in incremental motion applications. Precision Bronze Worm Gear - 32 pitch, 5.625inch pitch diameter, 180 tooth bronze gear manufactured in the U.S.A. by W. M. Berg, Inc. Manufactured to AGMA Quality Class 10 standard, which minimizes total composite error and backlash. Bearing and Shaft - Stainless steel worm shaft has 0.4375 pitch diameter and is preloaded with two ball bearings. The worm is made from a single piece of steel (rather than a two-piece worm-and-shaft assembly) to minimize run-out, which is a source of periodic error. No-slip clutch system for pointing precision. Schmidt-Cassegrain mechanism that moves the primary mirror to adjust focus is supported by two pre-loaded ball bearings, minimizing the "mirror flop" typical of bushing focus mechanisms.
