Celestron - C11S-GT Advanced Series

Introducing our best value for an 11" computerized telescope. 
The
largest aperture Advanced telescope in the series, this 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain optical
system is mounted on the computerized CG-5 EQ mount, which features precision worm gears for
extremely smooth motion. And with the heaviest component under 30 lbs this telescope won't
break your bank or your back. 
The C11 optical system comes with our standard StarBright®
coatings and its large aperture offers light gathering power 1593 times that of the human eye and
89% more than our 8" model. An optional polar alignment scope for quick alignment is
available.
Mounted on
the Advanced GT Series computerized mount, this telescope has some high
performance software and hardware features. Operated by our proven NexStar® computer control
technology the telescope has a 40,000+ object database with 400 user-definable objects and
expanded information on over 200 objects. Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky
objects by name and catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars;
variable star; solar systems; objects and asterisms. 
Using the
RS-232 communication port on the hand control, you can control the telescope via a personal
computer and our new flash upgradeable hand controls allow you to update your
telescope's operationg software via the internet. An autoguider port is also included for
astrophotography.
CG-5 Mount - Precision engineered for stability.
Our new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth
tracking motion. The key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the NEW
heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial legs that offer excellent damping
characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5 also has a convenient latitude scale for easier
alignment and an optional polar finder scope for the ultimate in precision alignments.

CGE Mounts

Recognized For Superior Stability
An improved Super HD Tripod supports the
CGE mount. This fully extendable tripod is made from the finest cold rolled carbon steel and can
be raised to a height of 50”. The tripod uses a dual leg support for maximum rigidity with an
upper leg brace to provide an outward preload and a lower leg brace providing inward
tension.
CGE Equatorial Mounts Can Easily be Balanced on Both
Axes
Balancing the weight of camera equipment and other visual accessories is
accomplished by simply sliding the counterweight for Right Ascension and moving the optical tube
along its dovetail mounting for Declination. This means that no additional weight needs to be
added to balance the telescope when additional accessories are added.
Clearance For
Accessories
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.
GPS Compatible
All CGE mounts are compatible with
Celestron’s CN16 GPS accessory (Item #93967). Combine the GPS and built-in Hibernate mode and
these mounts will keep track and remember their exact location and time without the need to
re-enter the information into the remote hand control.
