Astrophotography

• Celestron’s top-performing altazimuth telescope system, the CPC Deluxe HD is a favorite among experienced amateur astronomers and the preferred telescope of Stephen Hawking
• 8-inch EdgeHD optical tube provides stunning views and sharp astroimages free of visual defects
• NexStar+ hand control and internal GPS guides users through the simple SkyAlign setup and features a 40,000+ object database
• Sturdy dual fork arm mount with upgraded gears and motors anchors the telescope for superior tracking and pointing accuracy
• Ready for serious astroimaging, CPC Deluxe HD features All-Star Polar Alignment and Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction when equipped with the HD Pro Wedge

NOTE: The recommended solar filter for this scope for solar observing is the Astrozap Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 124451) 

Designed to be used with the saxon 127mm Apochromatic FCD100 Air-Spaced ED Triplet Refractor Telescope for astrophotography.

The saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 Triplets will reduce the focal ratio of the saxon127mm FCD100 Refractor Telescope from F/7.5 to F/5.25, providing a wider field of view, brighter images, and shorter exposure times. 

No saxon FCD100 telescope astrophotgraphy setup is complete without the saxon 0.7x Focal Reducer for FCD100 Triplets.

• 2" Dual Speed 10:1 focuser
• Easy-to-control heavy-duty mount
• Adjustable steel tripod with an accessory tray
• Fine adjustments of latitude and azimuth for precise polar alignment
• Bubble level for perfect levelling
• Aluminium setting circle dials allow for quick target acquisition via celestial coordinates
• Worm gear tracking controls provide full 360° manipulation of the RA and DEC axis
• Minimal vibrations

NOTE: This HEQ5 Pro mount comes with two 5.1 kg counterweights as standard.

With this optical tube installed the mount may require an addtional 5.1 kg counterweight to balance this set up, depending on what is placed on the OTA.
