Details
A serious, High performance telescope in a compact size, the 5' aperture of the C5-S allows it to easily outperform smaller aperture telescopes. Offer ing 4-1/2 timer more light gathering ability then a 60mm telescope and 2-1/2 times more than 80mm scope, Celestron's C5-S is the clear choce when a powerful instrument delivering brilliant, crisp views is what you require. The reputation for excellence of this optical system is such that it was chosen by NASA for many space shuttle missions, the C5-S can reveal to you star clusters, nebulas, planets, and galaxies in surprising detail. On or off the sturdy CG-5 Equatorial mount, the C5-S makes a wonderful spotting scope and powerful telephoto lens.
For a completely automated GoTo system, the C5-SGT (#11072) comes mounted on the CG-5GT computerized EQ mount and allows access to features like automatic star alignment capability and GoTo slewing to over 40,000 objects. Equipped with high-speed motors and hand control, the C5-SGT allows you to romotely slew your telescope to desired objects quickly and accurately. No matter at what level you are starting out, the Advanced GT series will invold all the wonders of the universe for you and your friends.
C5-SGT - Includes: * 1250mm focal length (f/10),
* Starbright Coatings
* 6x30 Finderscope
* 25mm Eyepeice (50x) - 1-1/4"
* 90 degree Diagonal - 1-1/4"
* Visual Back - 1-1/4"
* Heavy Duty (CG-5) German Equatorial Mount with RA and DEC slow-motion controls and setting circles
* "The Sky Level 1" CA ROM
* Rugged Adjustable Height 2" Steel Leg Tripod with Center Brace/Accessory Tray.
* Telescope Weight: 24lb.
* Two Year Warranty
* 40,000+ objects, 400 user defined programmable objects.
* Enhanced information on over 200 objects
* Double line, 16 character Liquid Crystal Display; Hand Control
* DC Servo Motors with Encoders on both Axes
* 4 degree/second Max. Slew Speed
* RS-232 communication port on hand control
* Auxiliary Port and Autoguider Port on motor drive
* Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube: 5" aperture (1250mm focal length f/10). Guaranteed diffraction-limited optical performance.
* Multicoated optics: Starbright multicoatings are standard equipment. These include high reflectivity 5-layer enhanced aluminum mirror coatings, plus magnesium fluoride antireflection coatings on both sides of the Schmidt corrector lens. These multicoatings visibly increase contrast on subtle lunar, planetary, and nebula details when compared with a scope with standard coatings. They also give you higher light transmission for brighter deep space images and shorter exposure times during photography. A Sky & Telescope review said Celestron's Starbright optics had "the best light transmission by a large margin over the competition.
Technical Specs:
* Highest Useful Magnification: 300x
* Lowest Useful Magnification: 18x
* Limiting Stellar Magnitude: 13
* Resolution: Rayleigh: 1.1 arcseconds
* Dawes Limit: .91 arcseconds
* Photographic Resolution: 200 lines/mm
* Light Gathering Power: 329x unaided eye
* Field of View; Standard Eyepiece: 1 degree
* Linear FOV (@1,000yd.): 52.5 ft.
* Optical Coatings: StarBright Coating
* Secondary Mirror Obstruction: 1.75"
* By Area: 12%
* By Diameter: 35%
* Optical Tube Length: 14"
* Hand-figured optics: Hand figuring the optical system is a complex optical procedure done on a commercial basis only by Celestron. Four separate optical tests are made on every set of 8" optics, using a double-pass laser autocollimator - an Airy disc inspection, a test for spherical aberration by examining the diffraction images on both sides of focus, a Ronchi grating test, and a knife edge test. A skilled optician evaluates these tests, then fabricates a precision pitch lap and delicately hand polishes the secondary mirror to compensate for any small residual zonal defects and smooth the optical figure. Done a few strokes at a time, and testing constantly to evaluate their effect, this final hand-figuring can take hours. But, when it is finished, the optical performance makes every tedious hour of hand-crafting well worth the effort.
* Finderscope: 6 x 30mm straight-through achromatic design, with a wide 7 degree field of view. Focuses by loosening the trim ring behind the objective lens cell, screwing the lens cell in or out to focus, and tightening the trim ring to lock in the correct focus.
* Visual back: Removable 1.25" visual back holds visual accessories such as star diagonal, tele-extender, etc.
* Star diagonal: 1.25" prism type.
* Eyepiece: 1.25" 25mm E-LUX Kellner (81x). The eyepiece field of view is 0.59 degrees, almost 20% larger than the full moon.
* Software: TheSky Level 1 sky charting CD-ROM.
