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.

• Explore the Universe and control your NexStar Evolution telescope with the free Celestron SkyPortal Powered by SkySafari™ app app for iOS and Android!
• Portable 9.25-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube with StarBright XLT optical coatings and Fastar compatibility
• Computerized GoTo mount with high-performance worm gears and motors for improved tracking accuracy, along with reduced gear backlash
• Rechargeable lithium-iron phosphate battery with enough power for 10 hours of continuous observing
• Improved industrial design with manual clutches and integrated carry handles, plus the added convenience of two accessory trays and a USB charge port for your smart device

• Flat-field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
• Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
• Ultra-Stable Focus System – precision linear ball bearing virtually eliminates image shift.
• Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
• Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 400-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.
• The CGX, with its 55 lb load capacity, is Celestron’s most innovative, state-of-the art, computerized equatorial mount to date, and provides a very sturdy and rigid platform for the fully-loaded RASA 8.
• The drive system utilizes low cog DC Servo motors with integrated optical encoders, belt and pulley motor connection, spring-loaded steel worm gears supported by precision sealed bearings, and brass worm wheels for smooth, accurate slewing and tracking performance with little backlash.
• Fully remote imaging capable, with optical limit switches, home sensors, through-mount cabling, and hard stops.
• Included Celestron PWI software allows direct computer control via USB 2.0 connection.
• Proven NexStar+ computerized telescope control technology supports functions to address imagers’ needs, such as All-Star Polar Alignment, Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC), and adjustable tracking through meridian.

• Product your Celestron Origin: This sleek, grab-and-go case for Origin’s 6” RASA telescope tube offers the ultimate protection and portability. Ideal for both storage when not in use or travelling.
• Durable triple-layer construction: Custom-designed for Celestron Origin, this bag features an ultra-durable and water-resistant 900 denier outer shell, 1.5” thick EPE foam padding, and a super-soft inner lining.
• Easy to load and unload: Multiple zippers provide instant access to the tube, making it fast and easy to set up or break down your Origin.
• Two carrying options: Use the sewn-in carry handles or the padded, adjustable shoulder strap.

• Celestron’s beloved entry-level telescope gets a stunning look! The Signature Series FirstScope features a superb Moon image by astroimager and Team Celestron member Robert Reeves
• High-quality tabletop Dobsonian with a 76mm reflector optical tube
• FirstScope artwork highlights key features on the lunar surface like craters and maria that you can explore for yourself with the telescope
• Simple, portable design that’s easy to use for astronomers of all levels—a great choice for kids and families
• Also includes a free PDF download of the Lunar Landscapes ebook by Robert Reeves

• Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Optical Design – 8” f/2.2 flat field imaging system with rare-earth glass for outstanding images free of optical defects like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
• Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The astrograph does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
• Ultra-Stable Focus System – precision linear ball bearing virtually eliminates image shift.
• Integrated air-cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust.
• Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
• Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 400-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.
• Advanced VX, the most compact and portable of Celestron’s German equatorial mounts, offers a maximum instrument capacity of 30 lb with the same rigidity as our larger mounts and minimal flexure.
• This mount offers every feature an astroimager wants: PEC, an autoguider port, the ability to image across the meridian, and more.
• Dual saddle plate is compatible with narrow CG-5 dovetails and wider CGE dovetail. Also compatible with Vixen format dovetails longer than 100mm, but not compatible with Losmandy D format plates.
• Accessories included: M42 camera adapter, C-thread camera adapter, and fan battery pack.

• Solid, sturdy tripod exclusively for the StarSense Explorer Tabletop Dobsonian
