Celestron CGX 925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

The Celestron CGX 925 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope combines Celestron’s premium StarBright XLT coated optics with the advanced CGX computerized equatorial mount, delivering an impressive balance of optical performance, portability, and imaging capability. With more than 9 inches of aperture, the CGX 925 provides the resolution and light-gathering power needed to explore a wide range of celestial targets in remarkable detail. Designed as the middle-ground option in the CGX lineup, the CGX 925 is an excellent choice for astronomers who want to combine high-resolution performance with manageable portability. It provides more aperture than the smaller model while maintaining a practical form factor for observers who want to transport and set up their telescope without stepping up to the largest system. The CGX 925 also provides a solid foundation for long-exposure astrophotography. Its computerized equatorial mount is well suited for use with optional CCD cameras and photographic equipment, giving experienced imagers a capable platform for capturing detailed astronomical images. With its 9+ inches of aperture and premium StarBright XLT coatings, the CGX 925 delivers more than 1,000 times the light-gathering power of the unaided eye, providing exceptional capability for both visual observation and astrophotography.

Celestron’s workhorse CGEM mount lineup has been the German Equatorial backbone for telescopes ranging from 6 to 11 inches of aperture. Since that time, many more astro-imagers and planetarium controlled setups have emerged as backyard telescope technology has evolved. Celestron’s engineering team applied their years of experience designing German Equatorial mounts to the CGX EQ, a culmination of all the advancements made to our technologies, value, and ease-of-use. The CGX was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits. Key design goals included a lower profile EQ head, which provides a more compact and therefore more stable setup; a better drive system; remote operation-friendly with home and limit optical sensors; easier polar alignment adjustments; and better cable management. In addition to that, we’ve made mechanical and ergonomic improvements throughout to make the mount sturdier, easier to use, and transport. The CGX is our Equatorial backbone to support a wide range of telescopes.
