Advanced engineering and a bold design at a price that is out of this world! Celestron's CPC Series with revolutionary SkyAlign alignment technology re-defines everything that amateur astronomers are looking for - quick and simple alignment, GPS, unsurpassed optical quality, ease of set-up and use, ergonomics, enhanced computerization and, most important, affordability.
Internal GPS automatically downloads the date and time from orbiting satellites and pinpoints its exact location on Earth. This eliminated the need for you to manually enter the date, time, longitude and latitude.
Then use our revolutionary SkyAlign technology to align your telescope. Simply locate and manually point (slew) the telescope to three bright celestial objects. You do not need to know the names of the stars - you may even pick the moon or bright planets!.
Celestron's NexStar® software technology will model the night sky to determine the position of every star, planet and celestial object above the horizon. Once aligned, the computerized hand control allows direct access to each of the celestial catalogs in its user-friendly database. |
