The
C10-NGT is the largest computerized Newtonian in its class with
178% more light gathering than the 6 inch model and almost twice
the resolving power. The optics of the C10-N telescope are manufactured
to Celestron‘s uncompromising standards. The C10-N uses diffraction-limited
parabolic primary mirrors for razor sharp star images across a
wide field of view. This telescope is mounted on the very rigid
computerized CG-5 German Equatorial mount.
A counterweight,
latitude scale, setting circles, and slow motion controls on both
axes are standard. Includes premium accessories including a 9x50
finderscope with bi-directional alignment screws and a spring loaded
pivot support, 20mm Plössl 1-1/4" eyepiece, 2" focuser,
accessory tray and more, so you have a fully loaded telescope right
from the start.
Mounted
on the Advanced GT Series computerized mount, this telescope has
some high performance software and hardware features. Operated
by our proven NexStar® computer control technology the telescope
has a 40,000+ object database with 400 user-definable objects and
expanded information on over 200 objects. Custom database lists
of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and catalog number;
the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable
star; solar systems; objects and asterisms.
Using
the RS-232 communication port on the hand control, you can control
the telescope via a personal computer and our new flash upgradeable
hand controls allow you to update your telescope's operating
software via the internet. An autoguider port is also included
for astrophotography.
CG-5
Mount - Precision engineered for stability.
Our
new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes
for extremely smooth stability. The key element that makes this
system the most stable in its class is the NEW heavy-duty tripod
with larger and more substantial legs that offer excellent damping
characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5 also has a convenient
latitude scale for easier alignment and an optional polar finder
scope for the ultimate in precision alignments. |
