CGEM II 700

The Celestron CGEM II 700 is a sophisticated 7-inch Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope mounted on a robust computerized equatorial mount, designed for detailed planetary observation and long-exposure astrophotography. With its f/15 focal ratio and StarBright XLT coatings, it delivers high-contrast views of planets and the lunar surface, while also resolving smaller deep-sky objects like globular clusters and planetary nebulae. The fully computerized CGEM II mount features a 40-pound payload capacity, GoTo tracking of over 40,000 celestial objects, and motorized tracking with integrated optical encoders for precise imaging. Its portable design allows the entire system to disassemble into manageable pieces without tools, making it ideal for both suburban and dark-sky site observing.
