The 700 Maksutov-Cassegrain CGEM II telescope is a specialized instrument designed for detailed, high contrast views of smaller celestial objects like the planets, with excellent views of the lunar surface including craters and maria, and is well suited for hunting smaller, fainter deep sky objects such as globular clusters and planetary nebulae. With an f/15 focal ratio and Celestron's premium StarBright XLT coatings, it provides high contrast views of planets and lunar landscapes, perfect for serious planetary imagers and visual observers. The sturdy CGEM II equatorial mount has a 40 lbs load capacity and easily handles the 19 lbs optical tube with plenty of capacity for cameras and accessories. The entire system disassembles without tools into separate manageable pieces for easy transportation.
