The Celestron CGX 800 HD is an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope built for serious visual observers and astrophotographers. It pairs the EdgeHD optical system with the CGX computerized equatorial mount for a complete, high-performance platform.

Questions about this item

Will the CGX mount handle my existing 8-inch optical tube without balance issues?

The CGX equatorial mount is designed to carry the 8-inch EdgeHD tube supplied with this package, providing a stable platform that minimises vibration for both visual and photographic use.

How can I verify the EdgeHD optics are delivering a flat field across the full frame?

Sharp, pinpoint stars to the very edge of the field — whether visually or in test images — confirm the aplanatic flat-field design is performing as intended.

Does the package include the NexStar+ hand controller and StarBright XLT coatings, or must they be purchased separately?

The NexStar+ hand controller with 40,000-object database and StarBright XLT optical coatings are both standard on this CGX 800 HD system.
