The CPC Deluxe HD by Celestron, a leader in the altazimuth telescope system, is highly regarded by seasoned amateur astronomers and was the chosen instrument of Stephen Hawking. Its 9.25-inch EdgeHD optical tube delivers breathtaking and flawlessly sharp astroimages. The integrated NexStar+ hand control and GPS make navigation simple with SkyAlign setup and a database of over 40,000 objects. Its robust dual fork arm mount, enhanced with superior gears and motors, ensures exceptional tracking precision and stability.

This telescope is perfectly suited for advanced astroimaging, boasting All-Star Polar Alignment and Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction when used with the HD Pro Wedge. The CPC Deluxe 925HD combines elite performance with unmatched versatility, ideal for everything from casual backyard stargazing to intense astroimaging in remote areas. The CPC Deluxe series is also esteemed by NASA (with a CPC 925 on the International Space Station) and was used by renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking in Cambridge, UK.

Celestron’s CPC Deluxe HD is renowned for its unparalleled optics. At its core is the EdgeHD optical system, uniquely designed to correct coma and field curvature, ensuring images free from aberrations with pinpoint stars, even at the edges of the widest eyepieces.

To understand how EdgeHD surpasses other optical systems, the EdgeHD whitepaper is available in the Support and Download section. Each EdgeHD system features StarBright XLT coatings on optical surfaces to enhance image brightness and light transmission. Furthermore, these optical tubes are Fastar compatible, allowing for rapid f/2 night sky imaging by simply replacing the secondary mirror with a third-party lens assembly.

The CPC Deluxe is celebrated for its supreme versatility. Its substantial yet manageable dual fork arm mount, weighing 64.84 lbs and equipped with sturdy handles, makes it easy to set up and precise in tracking. The telescope's SkyAlign procedure is user-friendly, guiding you to align three bright objects in the eyepiece, readying the telescope to locate and track more than 40,000 celestial objects.

Customization is key with the CPC Deluxe HD, compatible with all of Celestron’s latest accessories. Whether it’s adding StarSense AutoAlign for swift alignment or the SkyQ Link 2 WiFi Module for smartphone control, this telescope adapts to all your astronomical needs.

Designed with astroimaging in mind, the CPC Deluxe HD is not just for visual observation. It shares high-end features with German equatorial mounts, allowing accurate tracking for up to 30 seconds without a wedge. Adding the HD Pro Wedge enhances its capabilities for longer exposure astrophotography. This setup enables quick polar alignment with the All Star Polar Alignment procedure and more precise tracking with Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction. It also smoothly tracks through the meridian, facilitating the capture of celestial objects in optimal sky regions.
