Celestron CPC 925 GPS SCT

Celestron CPC 925 GPS SCT

Celestron's CPC Series with revolutionary SkyAlign Alignment Technology redefines everything that amateur astronomers seek: quick and simple alignment, GPS, unsurpassed optical quality, ease of setup and use, ergonomics, enhanced computerization, and affordability.

Internal GPS

The CPC Series internal GPS receiver automatically downloads the date and time from orbiting satellites and pinpoints its exact location on Earth, eliminating the need for manual entry of date, time, longitude, and latitude.

Celestron's Revolutionary SkyAlign

Once the internal GPS has established the telescope's position, aligning it is as easy as 1-2-3! Simply locate and use the hand control to 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 remote hand control allows direct access to each of the celestial catalogs in its user-friendly database.

Celestial Object Database

The CPC database contains over 40,000 celestial objects, including Messier objects, the Caldwell Catalog, as well as NGC Galaxies, nebulae, and planets. User-definable filter limits make navigating through this expansive database quicker and easier. Filter Limits let you filter out objects that are outside of your local horizon (e.g., if trees or mountains were in the way).

The Identify feature tells you what you're looking at and can also be a fun way to tour the sky. Just point the telescope up somewhere and ask it to identify Messier objects, and it will show you the 5 nearest Messier objects to your position and let you GOTO them. You can keep doing this for different parts of the sky or for different object types.

There's also Solar Sys Align that lets you align on the sun or moon for daytime observing, making it easy to see planets or bright stars in the day.
