Professional Computerized Telescope

Product Description

The CGE Pro 1400 HD combines Celestron's state of the art CGE Pro Computerized Equatorial mount with its new EdgeHD optical system. With more than 60% more light gathering power than the 11" telescope, this observatory-class instrument is Celestron's largest optical system in its class. Featuring our premium StarBright XLT coatings, this telescope is especially at home as a solid platform for long exposure photography with optional CCD cameras or photographic equipment; it is a serious scientific research tool. German Equatorial mounts are recognized as being the superior choice for astrophotography because of their rock solid stability, simple balancing and easy accessibility for attaching equipment. With sophisticated software features like the Hibernate function, the CGE Pro can maintain its star alignment night after night without needing to be re-aligned, making it an ideal instrument for a permanent observatory facility.

Features

• Increased Payload Capacity - With a maximum payload of 90 lbs the CGE Pro mount is able to hold the 14" telescope more securely even when fully loaded with all your imaging gear.| All-Star Polar Alignment - Choose any bright alignment star for a software assisted alignment of the mount's polar axis that will have you ready for imaging even if you can't see the North Star.| No-Tool Polar Alignment - Larger hand knobs for both Altitude and Azimuth adjustments.| Meridian Tracking - Extended tracking past the Meridian of up to 20 degrees of uninterrupted imaging through the best part of the sky.| Faster Slew Speed - Improved gearing and motors provide faster slew speeds than ever before with a maximum slew rate of over 5°/per second.| Accuracy - The hallmark of any telescope mount is its ability to find center and track celestial objects with the highest degree of accuracy.| Pointing - With just a standard hand control alignment CGE Pro has the ability to center a star in your eyepiece or CCD chip to within 5 arc minutes. Using NexStar's advanced pointing features such as Calibration Stars Sync and Precise GoTo further improves the pointing accuracy to as low as 1 arc minute in the desired region of the sky.| Tracking - With larger .75" pitch diameter worm precision made cut-steel gears in gearboxes and seven slot skewed armature motors the CGE Pro delivers smooth +/- 5 arc second tracking accuracy typical unguided periodic error which can be further reduced with PPEC| Mount Calibration - Celestron's NexStar hand control has built-in compensation features essential for accurately placing small objects on the center of your CCD chip or high power eyepiece. Aligning on multiple Calibration Stars creates a model of the opto-mechanical inaccuracies inherent in all equatorial mounts. This model is stored within the hand control and is used to compensate for these inaccuracies thus improving your pointing precision each time you slew your telescope.
