Celestron CGEM 800 Computerized Telescope

CGEM - A FEAST FOR YOU EYES IN MORE WAYS THEN ONE.

CGEM was designed to be ergonomically friendly with large Altitude and Azimuth adjustment knobs for quick and easy polar alignment adjustment. CGEM has a new innovative Polar alignment procedure called All-Star. All-Star allows users to choose any bright star from the hand control, 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.

The hot CGEM mount has a fresh, attractive, bold appereance and is capable of carrying Celestron's higher-end SCT optical tubes securely and vibration free, which is ideal for both imaging and visual observing.

For objects near the Meridian, 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, 100 user defined programmable objects and enhanced information on over 200 objects.

CGEM Features:

  • NEW All-Star Polar Alignment lest you choose any bright alignment star for a software assisted alignment of the mounts polar axis that will have you ready for imaging even if you cannot see the North Star
  • Permanent PEC, Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction (PEC) corrects for periodic tracking errors inherent to all worm drives. Mount will remenber its PEC compensation once trained
  • Meridian Tracking, for extended tracking past the Meridian for uninterrupted imaging through the best part of the sky
  • CGE stlye mounting platform for secure, vibration free tube attachment
  • Polar alignment control knob with larger, easy to move adjustment knobs for both Altitude and Azimuth
  • Imporved database with 40,000+ objects, 100 user defined programmable objects and enhanced information on over 200 objects.
