Celestron CPC 800 GPS (XLT) Computerized Telescope



A rock-solid dual fork arm mount and large aperture at an affordable price: that's what makes the CPC telescope a favorite among experienced amateur astronomers. Celestron's revolutionary SkyAlign plus an internal GPS make alignment a snap. Use the computerized hand control to quickly slew to over 40,000 celestial objects, then track your target precisely as it moves across the night sky. Imagers can place the CPC dual fork arm mount on an optional HD Pro Wedge to polar align it for long-exposure astrophotography. Thoughtful ergonomic design makes setting up and breaking down your CPC quick and painless.
