Product Description


Celestron's innovative new EdgeHD telescopes are aplanatic Schmidt Cassegrain models designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. Celestron EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today. Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. With Celestron's High Definition optics you will be able to capture the faintest of galaxies all the way to the corner of your full frame camera chip. Coupled with Celestron's XLT coating group on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. The EdgeHD tube has been redesigned with top-notch features to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night. Mirror locks hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. Flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or chip). Cooling tube vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 60 micron mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.

5The sky trembles in fear above my house !
By K. Markham
The mount is big and heavy ,,,,very sturdy ! pictures do not do it justice ! worth the extra $ if your considering saving a few dollars ,,,dont...spend the money its worth it,,,,the quality is appearant as soon as you open the box ! this is a intimidating scope even when its cloudy I go out on the porch just to look at it . I have owned 3 other celestron scopes all have performed too spec ..... I decided to go for size after owning 6 inch & 8 inch and I choose the 1100hd , plenty of aperture for faint objects great to break through that city light pollution , flat field ! precision optics , cant go wrong , I am in love with this scope , I bought this scope also the last weekend in January 11 it was 3,399 it has gone up $600 the week after , I hear it is back ordered all over the world ,,,goes to show this scope is in high demand by both amature and profeshional astronomers~
