Celestron CPC 925 GPS
The CPC 925 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 925 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.
CPC 925 GPS — Unique design, advanced features, GOTO accuracy, and superb
optics. You get the picture.
Celestron’s 9.25” optical system has enjoyed a loyal following since we
first introduced it with our Ultima 9.25” in 1995. Now the 9.25” optical
tube is coupled with Celestron's newest computerized telescope family — the
CPC GPS series.
The 9.25” was already a favorite among astrophotographers and discerning
visual observers and it offers 33% more light gathering than our 8" model.
The CPC 925 GPS was specifically designed for visual infinity focus when
using 2" eyepieces and has an optimized baffle system to benefit
astrophotography by minimizing vignetting at the edge of the field of view.
Its longer primary focal length and lower magnification secondary mirror
contribute to a flatter field of view at the focal plane and helps to
further reduce optical aberrations.
