Celestron CGE Pro 1400 Telescope

To achieve the highest quality in astrophotography, Celestron has developed the evolution of the computerized German equatorial mount Scmidt Cassegrain in the CGE Pro series. This mount increases the load capacity and can support tubes up to 14 ", of a maximum of 41kg. axis of gravity on the tripod, thus reducing vibrations and gaining robustness when following.
The mount has oversized controls to adjust the mount in altitude and azimuth, no tools are required to adjust the polar axis. The improved gear and motor assembly offers a faster turn, with a maximum peak of 5º / sec. The monitoring process can cross the meridian up to 20º without interrupting the capture of images in any area of the sky. Locate, center, and track star objects with the highest degree of precision. With just one alignment control unit the CGE Pro has the ability to center a star in the eyepiece or on the CCD chip within 5 arc minutes. By using advanced features such as Precision Star Calibration, Sync and Go To we can improve accuracy to below 1 arc minute. Tracking accuracy of +/- 9sec arc.

Integrated Polar alignment All-Star function and compatible with the Fastar system. Database with 40,000 objects and reprogrammable Nextar + control unit. Permanent Correction of Periodic Error (PPEC).
The CGE Pro 1400 makes the most of its extensive database of thousands of NGC and Abell galaxies, as well as delivering a new level of detail to all of your favorite deep sky objects. Rotate this scope to the planets and you will see amazing detail on Jupiter's surface; see Cassini Division in Saturn's rings, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even distant Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are within reach.
