Celestron CGE Series Telescopes
The CGE 800 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is part of Celestron's "Top-of-the-Line" German Equatorial mounted astronomical telescopes. The Celestron CGE 800 is the most portable of the four models. This telescope is especially at home as a solid platform for long exposure photography with optional CCD cameras or photographic equipment. Using an f/6.3 Focal Reducer or Fastar accessory makes it usable with a wide variety of CCD cameras. German Equatorial mounts are recognized as being the superior choice for astrophotography because of thier rock solid stability, simple balancing and easy accessibility for attaching equipment. This, coupled with the Celestron CGE lin's GoTo capability, makes it an unbeatable instrument for its size. As a visual instrument you can search for all of the Messier Catalog objects, and you can see hundreds of other, less famous, but equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects. Turn this scope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini's Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even the distant uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your reach.
