Celestron CGE Pro 925

Celestron CGE Pro 925
The Celestron CGE Pro925 is part of the CGE Pro series of Celestron which is one of the newest and most advanced series of the Celestron range of telescopes. The series consists of four telescopes with a catadioptric Schmidt-Cassegrain design. Just like the other telescopes in the series, the Celestron CGE 925 Pro telescope is of unprecedented quality. The strong aluminium housing is assembled with great precision and it is virtually indestructible. The other construction materials of the telescope are of unprecedented quality as well. The mirrors are hand-picked so only the best mirrors are used. The telescope is equipped with many intelligent features that make the CGE Pro very, very easy to use.

Construction and mirror
The catadioptric telescope has a Schmidt-Cassegrain design; this structure is very suitable for observing deep-sky objects since using multiple mirrors yields a larger focal distance. The primary mirror of the CGE Pro 925 has a 235mm diameter (9.25 inches). The light from the primary mirror is sent to two mirrors with a diameter of 85mm which reflect the collected light to the eyepiece. This construction enables the telescope to have a focal length of 2350mm.

StarBright Coating
The mirrors in the telescope feature the unique Celestron Starbright coating. This coating -which consists of aluminium, titanium and magnesium- makes the mirrors as strong and effective as they can possibly be. In addition, due to the use of these materials, the mirrors are more even and light gain is up to 40 percent higher than without this coating.

Eyepiece
The Celestron CGE Pro 925 is standard delivered with a 25mm eyepiece. In combination with the telescope focal length this yields a magnification of 94 times. This eyepiece fits into the 1.25 inch eyepiece fitting of the telescope; the eyepiece can also be used on other telescopes with a similar eyepiece fitting. Use eyepieces of varying sizes to obtain other magnifications. Again, for this telescope a 25 mm eyepiece was chosen to give you a broader view, so you can see more. A smaller eyepiece provides a higher magnification and greater detail, but with a magnification of 95 times, the celestial bodies will be very detailed and clear to see with this telescope.

Tripod and mount
The CGE Pro Equatorial mount is the strongest and most advanced telescope of Celestron. This tripod is specially designed for the CGE Pro series.Not only is the stand very robust, it also has very advanced features as well. The tripod is easy to connect to a computer thanks to the two auxiliary ports, and via these ports you can also add GPS to this tripod. The built-in computer of the stand ensures that the automatic movements of the mount are extremely precise and stable, so you will not lose sight of the celestial body. This makes this GoTo tripod very suitable for astrophotography.

GoTo functionality
The telescope and mount have a full GoTo functionality. Using this very useful system, the telescope will automatically find celestial objects for you. In the system 40,000 celestial objects are pre-programmed which makes stargazing with this telescope easier and a lot of fun. The GoTo system features the Celestron SkyAlign alignment technology; this will align the telescope in no time at all. It is also possible to find celestial bodies yourself and save them for next time so you can subsequently focus on these objects. The GoTo system provides detailed information on the 200 most-viewed celestial bodies. The GoTo is easy to operate by a remote control with LCD display.

The convenient control of the telescope

Supplied software
In the CGE pro series the NexRemote software is standard included. This software enables you to operate the telescope with ease using your computer. The software works with voice control, so you will not be distracted by a computer monitor or LCD screen: you can just keep looking at the sky. The software is also capable of saving your favourite items. The database is regularly updated with new celestial objects.
