Celestron CPC Series Telescopes

Celestron CPC series computerized telescopes combine Celestron's revolutionary SkyAlign and GPS technologies with the stability of a fork mount and your choice of three large apertures. The fork mount provides added stability when using heavy accessories, such as binoviewers and cameras. The CPC Series' internal GPS receiver automatically downloads the date and time from orbiting satellites and pinpoints its exact location on Earth. This eliminates the need for you to manually enter the date, time, longitude and latitude every time you set up the telescope. The Celestron CPC 925 and CPC 1100 with their 9-1/4 and 11 inch apertures are unique within the industry, offering price points and value that no other manufacturer can match.

Celestron's Revolutionary SkyAlign

Once the CPC's internal GPS has established the telescope's position, aligning the telescope is as easy as 1-2-3! Simply locate and use hand control to manually point (slew) the telescope to three bright celestial objects. You do not need to know the names of the stars - Celestron's NexStar® software technology will model the night sky to idenfity the alignment objects you have chosen. Once aligned, the remote hand control allows direct access to each of the celestial catalogs in its user-friendly database.

Celestial Object Database

The CPC database contains over 40,000 celestial objects including Messier objects, the Caldwell Catalog, as well as NGC Galaxies, nebulae and planets. The "Identify" feature tells you what you're looking at, but it can also be a very fun way to tour around the sky. Just point the telescope up somewhere and ask it to identify Messier objects (for instance) and it will show you the 5 nearest Messier objects to your position and let you select and go to them. You can keep doing this for different parts of the sky or for different object types -- it is a lot of fun. Not sure what to do? Simply press the tour key and let the telescope suggest the most interesting objects visible at the time.
