Celestron CPC Deluxe 800 HD 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope Wifi Kit

SKU CH-VBTN-2MT1T

An 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with EdgeHD optics, 0.57 arc-second resolution, and a GoTo mount accessing 40,000 celestial objects

  • EdgeHD optics deliver sharp, flat-field views across the frame
  • 57 arc-second Dawes resolution reveals fine planetary detail
  • 480× magnification brings distant galaxies into focus with the 40 mm eyepiece
  • Computerized GoTo mount locates and tracks over 40,000 celestial objects automatically
  • 800× light-gathering power reveals faint deep-sky objects invisible to the naked eye

Portable 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain

The Celestron CPC Deluxe 800 HD is an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a computerized fork mount. It includes a SkyPortal WiFi module for wireless control and a 40 mm Plössl eyepiece. The EdgeHD optical design delivers a flat, coma-free field suited to both visual observing and astrophotography. The system weighs 43 lbs with integrated carrying handles for transport.

Upgrade from smaller aperture or manual mounts

The 8-inch aperture gathers 800 times the light of the unaided eye, reaching 0.57 arc seconds Dawes and 0.69 arc seconds Rayleigh resolution. Practical magnification extends to 480× for planetary detail. The GoTo database contains over 40,000 objects, removing the need for star-hopping or paper charts. The jump is worthwhile when light-polluted skies demand maximum aperture in a grab-and-go package.

Fork-mount assembly with wireless alignment

The fork base and optical tube separate for one-person setup; carrying handles speed placement on the tripod. SkyPortal WiFi replaces the hand controller, so alignment uses a phone or tablet running the SkyPortal app. Common pitfalls: forgetting to level the tripod before alignment, skipping the index-mark calibration, or losing WiFi connection in dew-heavy conditions.
