CGX 1100 Schmidt-Cassegrain

The Celestron CGX 1100 Schmidt-Cassegrain is a powerful 11-inch aperture catadioptric telescope featuring premium StarBright XLT optical coatings and mounted on a CGX computerized German equatorial mount. With its 2800mm focal length (f/10) and exceptional light-gathering power—89% more than an 8-inch and 40% more than a 9.25-inch telescope—it delivers superior performance for both visual observation and astrophotography of planets, nebulae, galaxies, and deep-sky clusters. The lightweight optical tube (27.5 pounds) and CGX GoTo mount with NexStar+ controller make this serious observing platform portable enough for dark sky sites while providing smooth, accurate computerized tracking of celestial objects.
