The
C9 1/4-S telescope combines the unequaled optical excellence
of a Celestron 9 1/4" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope
with the economical CG-5 German equatorial mount. The
9 1/4" was specifically designed for visual infinity
focus when using 2" eyepieces and has an optimized baffle
system to benefit astrophotography by minimizing vignetting
at the edge of the field of view. Its longer primary
focal length and lower magnification secondary mirror
contribute to a flatter field of view at the focal plane
and helps to further reduce optical aberrations. The
C9 1/4-S optical system comes with StarBright®coatings.
The optimized baffling system benefits astrophotography
and gives high contrast views of the planets. With 33%
more light gathering than the 8" model, the C9 1/4-S
is compatible with the complete line of Celestron photographic
and visual accessories.
CG-5
Mount - Precision engineered for stability.
Our new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely
smooth stability. The key element that makes this system the most stable in
its class is the NEW heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial legs
that offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5
also has a convenient latitude scale for easier alignment and an optional polar
finder scope for the ultimate in precision alignments. |
