Celestron CPC 1100 GPS
The CPC 1100 GPS is one of the telescopes of
tomorrow and here today! Skyalign technology, advanced engineering, and a bold new design at a price
that is out of this world! The CPC 1100 GPS with revolutionary skyalign
alignment technology re-defines everything that amateur astronomers are
looking for - quick and simple alignment, GPS, unsurpassed optical quality,
ease of set-up and use, ergonomics, enhanced computerisation and most
important, affordability.
The CPC 800 (XLT) has twice been voted winner of
the prestigious BBC Sky at Night Magazine Group Test of GoTo telescopes
beating three other telescopes on both occasions (Issue 4, September 05 and
Issue 26, July 07). It acheived 94% overall in the July 07 test with the
next best acheiving only 89%. The CPC 800 (XLT) has also twice been awarded
5***** BEST BUY in the Mail on Sunday LIVE magazine. On the last occasion
(June 3 2007) the CPC 800 (XLT) was the only telescope to acheive the 5*****
rating in addition to the BEST BUY award, beating five other telescopes.
The largest aperture of the CPC GPS line, The CPC 1100 GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain
telescope has the most light gathering power and has a limiting magnitude of
nearly 15. The CPC 1100 GPS takes full advantage of its vast database of
thousands of NGC and Abell galaxies as well as delivering a new level of
detail to all your favorite deep sky objects. This CPC 1100 GPS features
Celestron's premium StarBright XLT coatings.
With sophisticated software features like Hibernate function, the CPC can
maintain its star alignment night after night without needing to be
re-aligned, making it an ideal instrument for a permanent observatory
facility.
The CPC GPS is the most portable of Celestron's top-of-the-line fork-mounted
astronomical telescopes. This telescope is at home as a superb visual
instrument or, with optional wedge and CCD cameras, as a serious
astrophotographer's tool.
Although large in aperture, with its conveniently located carrying handles
and an instrument weight of 65 lb., this telescope is portable enough to
setup in your backyard or take with you to your favorite dark sky location.
Celestron's new CPC Series with revolutionary SkyAlign Alignment Technology
re-defines everything that amateur astronomers are looking for — quick and
