Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes

Celestron's new CPC Series with revolutionary SkyAlign Alignment Technology redefines everything that amateur astronomers are looking for - quick and simple alignment, GPS, unsurpassed optical quality, ease of set-up and use, ergonomics

The CPC 925 GPS Computerized Telescope Model #11704 is just one in its long list of high performance imaging devices. This Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is equipped with the latest technologies in the visualization and optics industry. It features 

Featuring high-quality Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, the NexStar 5 SE is an ideal telescope for observing and photographing the wonders of space

Portability and serious performance come together in the NexStar 6 SE. Celestron's first new Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system in over a decade is now available in a high performance altazimuth computerized telescope

The largest of the NexStar SE family with 78% more light gathering than a 6" model, the NexStar 8 SE will enable you to see deep into the Universe.

Omni XLT series features the stable platform of the CG-4 mount and high quality optics.

Celestron’s SkyProdigy telescopes use an integrated imaging camera and patented StarSense Technology to automatically align with the night sky and determine where the telescope is currently pointing. The camera automatically captures an image of the sky, which is processed internally to positively identify stars in the image. Once a positive match is found, SkyProdigy determines the coordinates of the center of the captured image. The process is automatically repeated two additional times so that the system has three known alignment points that can be used to make an accurate model of the night sky. With this information, the user can select any celestial object in the hand controller’s database, and SkyProdigy will automatically move itself to the correct position.

The new LX80 multi-mount easily transitions between german equatorial, alt-az and dual ota configurations to handle all your astronomical needs.

All LX90 models feature the solid and stable LX90 aluminum double fork mount, with fast slew speed adjustable from 1 to 7 degrees per second. Fine slewing and photographic guiding speeds can be adjusted from .01x to 1x sidereal in one one-hundredth increments. The mount and all electronics are internally powered by 8 (user supplied) C-cell batteries which will typically operate the telescope for a generous 60 hours (optional Meade Universal AC adapter also available). The mount also has mechanical locks in both axis allowing adjustment even without power.

The perfect platform for the demanding visual observer and imaging enthusiast in a larger package. When it comes to industry-leading optics, depth of features, and computerized operation, the LX90-SC represents an incredible value. This largest of the Meade LX90 models offers astonishing performance for the investment.

This LT-6 telescope from Meade is a computer-controlled 1524 mm f/10 catadioptric telescope with a 6.0"/152 mm clear aperture. The optical system is based upon a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain design that delivers excellent and reliable results.

The 8" LX90-SC has an 8” diameter f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system (focal length 2000mm) and Ultra-High Transmission Coatings (UHTC) for maximum image brightness and contrast. Electronics include the advanced Meade AudioStar computer system with over 30,000 object library, multiple guided tours, High Precision Pointing capability, and Meade SmartDrive with Permanent Periodic Error Correction.
