Celestron - CGE Pro 1400 HD Telescope

Celestron's newest line of observatory class German equatorial telescopes

The CGE Pro computerized series is Celestron's newest line of observatory class German equatorial telescopes. Offered with 9.25",
11" and 14" aperture Schmidt Cassegrain optical tubes, they all come mounted on the new state of the art CGE Pro GoTo mount.

The German Equatorial mount has long been the favored choice of astronomy buffs and astrophotographers because of its stability
and portability. More stable because the center of gravity is directly over the center of its base, more portable because it can
be broken down into smaller component parts for easy storage and transportation.

For astrophotography, the German Equatorial mount offers easier balancing, unlimited space at the rear of the telescope tube to
mount a camera, and whole sky access. Now you can enjoy all of the NexStar software and database features with the extra stability
and portability of a German Equatorial mount.

Introducing Celestron's New  
Aplanatic Schmidt Telescope Design! 

• visibly Sharper images 
• Superior performance 
• Enhanced Mechanical features 
• fastar® Compatible 
EdgeHD is an aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic 
field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more 
than just off-axis star coma, but also to give an astrograph quality 
flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. 

True  Astrograph Quality 
Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrograph" quality actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal
plane. While this may be acceptable for visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with a flat chip
sensor of a digital camera.  EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times  flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain
telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of
the largest 
CCD chips available today. 

Improved Performance
Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting
magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. 

Starbright XLT® Coatings 
Coupled with Celestron's Starbright XLT coating group on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput 
across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.
