Celestron CPC-1000 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain

The Celestron CPC-1000 GPS XLT is an 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain computerized telescope designed for amateur astronomers who want automated object location. Its dual fork arm altazimuth mount integrates GPS and a database of over 40,000 celestial objects. StarBright XLT coatings on the optics improve light transmission for detailed views of planets and deep-sky targets.

SkyPortal WiFi Module adds wireless control

The included SkyPortal WiFi Module plugs into the hand control or AUX port and creates a wireless network. This allows a smartphone or tablet to become a wireless hand controller and planetarium interface. Users can browse the object database, align the telescope, and slew to targets from their mobile device without a physical cable connection to the mount.

Setup uses SkyAlign and heavy-duty tripod

The telescope uses Celestron SkyAlign technology for alignment by centering any three bright objects, simplifying the process for beginners. A heavy-duty steel adjustable tripod with a leg brace provides a stable platform that reduces vibrations at high magnifications up to 661x. The 40mm Plossl eyepiece is included for initial viewing. Buyers who need equatorial tracking for long-exposure astrophotography should note this is an altazimuth mount.

Questions about this item

How often will the StarBright XLT coatings on the 11-inch optics need cleaning or re-coating?

The StarBright XLT coatings are permanent and do not require re-coating; only occasional gentle cleaning of the corrector plate is needed when dust or dew builds up.

What limits tracking accuracy during long imaging sessions with the dual fork arm mount?

Periodic error in the worm gear and gradual polar misalignment in altazimuth mode are the first limits that appear during extended exposures.

How much heat does the GPS and SkyPortal WiFi module generate when the telescope runs all night?

The GPS receiver and SkyPortal WiFi module draw very little power and produce negligible heat, so they do not warm the tube or affect image quality.
