Product Description



Celestron's CGEM-1100 features Celestron's high-end 11" Schmidt Cassegrian OTA with XLT coatings mounted on our brand new CGEM mount.

The CGEM mount has a fresh, attractive, bold appearance and is capable of carrying Celestron's higher-end SCT optical tubes (up to 11") securely and vibration free which is ideal for both imaging and visual observing.

Ergonomic Design - CGEM was designed to be ergonomically friendly with large Altitude and Azimuth adjustment knobs for quick and easy polar alignment adjustment. The internal RA and DEC motor wiring provides a clean look and an easy and trouble free set up.

Innovation - The CGEM series has a new innovative Polar alignment procedure called All-Star (patent pending). All-Star allows users to choose any bright star, while the software calculates and assists with polar alignment. Another great feature of the CGEM, sure to please astroimagers, is the Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PEC) which will allow users to train out the worm gears periodic errors, while the mount retains the PEC recordings.

Performance - For objects near the Meridian (imaginary line passing from North to South), the CGEM will track well past the Meridian for uninterrupted imaging through the most ideal part of the sky. The CGEM mount has a robust database with over 40,000 objects, 400 user defined programmable objects and enhanced information on over 200 objects.

Celestron's CGEM mount is the perfect fit between the Advanced Series and CGE Series. Offering the portability of the Advanced Series and the precision of the CGE.

3Buyer beware
By Stuart Schulz
Beware of buying this combo of mount and large diameter scope before checking out the reviews in the astro sites. This mount is not really up to slewing around a big 11 inch scope without all sorts of problems, particularly if you intend to do astrophotography. A long focal length and a weak mount with wobbly spur gears and backlash can frustrate your ambitions, and Celestron service is not really up to helping out on this without lengthy waits...if ever. You dont have to abandon what is a very reasonably priced mount when/if it works, but keep the tube size down to eight inch for photography.
