Telescopes & Astronomy

Suitable for Binoculars, Spotting Scopes and Cameras.

Combined with the aperture of 300mm and focal length of 1500mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.

For eight years, Celestron’s workhorse CGEM mount lineup has been the German Equatorial backbone for telescopes ranging from 6 to 11 inches of aperture. Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the all-new CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use.

The PTH professional tripod head is absolutely ideal for extensive observation. The integrated fluid bearing ensures smooth, even movements. Once adjusted correctly, the PTH professional tripod head will keep the whole spotting scope in a stable position.
