The CGX 800 HD combines Celestron's CGX computerized equatorial mount with its acclaimed EdgeHD optical system, featuring 8 inches of aperture and premium StarBright XLT coatings that deliver over 800 times the light gathering power than the unaided eye while remaining the lightest and most portable telescope in its class. The 8" aplanatic EdgeHD high definition Schmidt optics produce aberration-free images across a wide 42mm image circle ideal for astrophotography, with a dual-element field flattener lens in the baffle tube that reduces off-axis coma. The versatile design accommodates two focal ratios—native f/10 or ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror and third-party accessories, and all EdgeHD tubes are Fastar-compatible for wide field imaging. The CGX mount's 55-pound payload capacity effortlessly supports the 8" EdgeHD optical system and allows for the addition of numerous accessories.
