The CGEM II 1100 HD combines Celestron's newly redesigned CGEM II computerized equatorial mount with its acclaimed EdgeHD optical system. EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view, with an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. With an optical tube assembly weighing only 28 lbs., this telescope is still portable enough to be taken to dark skies, and has 89% more light gathering power than an 8" telescope and 40% more than the 9.25". Celestron's premium StarBright XLT coatings provide maximum light transmission, and the package includes a 9x50 finderscope, 2" mirror diagonal, and wide-angle 23 mm Luminos 2" eyepiece.
