The Telescope
- A breakthrough 36 cm aperture, f/2.2 optical system designed for professional applications that require both a wide field of view and resolution, such as space surveillance and other scientific applications
- 4-element lens group utilizes extra-low dispersion (ED) glass for images free of false color, coma, and field curvature, the Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) 36 cm is also an excellent choice for advanced astroimaging
- 60 mm optimized image circle maintains pinpoint stars to the far corners of the largest available sensors
- Extended spectral range takes advantage of sensor response in the 700-900 nm range, allowing a brighter overall signal to be detected
- Redesigned focusing system minimizes focus shifting or other unwanted motion of the primary mirror, enabling easy and stable focus
The Mounting
- Increased load capacity of 34 kilograms, excellent load capacity to tare weight ratio
- Additional AUX sockets and Autoguider connection on the dec axis for better cable management
- 144mm worm wheels for better and more accurate tracking of heavy loads
- 270mm long dovetail clamp to better support even large telescopes
- Steel tripod with 70 mm thick legs and larger spreading angle for a more stable stand
- New accessory tray for three 1.25" eyepieces, two 2" eyepieces and an upright holder for tablet or smartphone
- Heavy duty stainless steel counterweight rod with 31.5mm diameter for additional counterweights
- Optionally available polar finder special for CGX and CGX-L as an alternative to the software-based All-Star Polar Align
- Supports wireless and wired control with accessories such as StarSense AutoAlign and SkyPortal WiFi module (sold separately)
Contains or is compatible with these Celestron technologies:
- Experience our best optical performance with EdgeHD’s aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain optics for pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of today’s largest imaging sensors and widest eyepieces
- Aluminum optical tube with tube vents featuring an integrated 50-mesh filter allows hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Mirror support knobs hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during imaging
- Versatile design accommodates 3 focal ratios: native f/10, f/7 with the addition of a focal reducer, or ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror and third-party accessories
- Celestron’s premium StarBright XLT coatings provide maximum light transmission.
