Celestron CPC series telescopes with the revolutionary SkyAlign alignment system combine excellent Schmidt-Cassegrain optics with solid fork-mounted mechanics featuring a GOTO system and built-in GPS. These telescopes allow very easy and quick positioning, effortless object location from a database of 40,000 objects, and once the object is in the field of view, the optical system enables highly advanced visual observations. When equipped with an equatorial wedge, the alt-azimuth fork mount becomes an equatorial mount, making the telescope suitable for advanced astrophotography. Thanks to their focal ratio, SCT telescopes are highly valued by those imaging the Moon, planets, star clusters and planetary nebulae. The entire system is very well optimized, ensuring reliability, quiet motor operation, and ease of assembly and transport.
Telescopes with StarBright XLT coatings offer approximately 16% higher optical efficiency compared to standard MC coatings, resulting in brighter images with improved resolution.
The complete system forms an excellent set for ambitious astronomy enthusiasts and can serve as a primary observational instrument in a school observatory, providing a foundation for advanced educational and research projects.

This device concentrates a large amount of light. Looking directly at the Sun through this device may result in partial or complete loss of vision. For solar observation, we recommend the safest method – eyepiece projection, projecting the image of the solar disk onto a sheet of paper.
