The renowned optical system of the Celestron C9.25 is the EdgeHD, an aplanatic, flat-field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and imaging field of view. The performance of this Celestron 9.25 is simply breathtaking. The EdgeHD system, a specialized type of Cassegrain reflecting telescope, was designed to reduce off-axis star coma and provide an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field.

• Experience the amazing optical performance of this Celestron 9.25 with its flat-field and coma-free optics. You get pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of today’s largest imaging sensors and widest eyepieces, a hallmark of the CGX 925 EdgeHD.
• Aluminum optical tube with tube vents featuring an integrated 95-micron mesh filter allows hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Sturdy mirror support knobs hold the mirror in place and reduce image shifts during imaging
• This versatile Celestron C925 design is a key feature of the complete CGX 925HD package, accommodating 3 focal ratios: native f/10, f/7 with a focal reducer, or ultra-fast f/2 imaging. 

 

CGX Mount and Tripod Features | Improved Performance

At the heart of the Celestron Equatorial CGX 925 EdgeHD Telescope system is the revolutionary CGX mount. This exceptional Celestron CGX mount is specifically designed to better support your telescope for both visual and imaging pursuits. The Celestron CGX is the equatorial backbone to support a wide range of telescopes. The stability of the CGX is essential for getting the most out of the high-resolution optics of the Celestron C9.25.

• Sturdier and more rigid with quicker dampening time
• Increased load capacity to 25kg, easily handling the Celestron 9.25 SCT.
• The Celestron CGX mount has improved motors provide more torque, better slewing, and superior tracking under heavy loads.
• The heavy-duty belt-drive system on the Celestron CGX mount minimizes backlash while providing smooth motor operation, even with a full payload.
• Spring-loaded brass worm wheel and stainless steel worm gear reduce friction and provide optimum gear mesh
• Internal cabling on the CGX mount allows for worry-free remote operation. Every feature of the Celestron CGX mount has been optimized for performance.
• Internal hard stops for both axes prevents cable tension and tripod strike
• Internal optical sensors on both axes for simple and safe remote operation
• Home sensors allow the mount to always start in the index position regardless of orientation before a power reset
• Limit sensors automatically shut off slewing or tracking before reaching the hard stop fail safe
• Brand new control software developed for professional level control operation and imaging
• Software includes multi-point mount modeling for the extremely precise pointing accuracy you expect from a high-end Celestron GoTo telescope.
• Wider tripod stance for improved stability
• Adjustable EQ head position to optimize center of gravity over the tripod and fully utilize the increased 3°-65° latitude range
• The dual-fit CG-5/Vixen and CGE/Losmandy dovetail saddle makes the Celestron CGX Mount compatible with a wide range of optical tubes.

 

Improved Tripod Includes

• 2" steel legs with height index marks for quick leveling
• "Jack of all trays" to hold three 1.25" eyepieces, two 2" eyepieces, your smartphone, or other accessories
• +20° of additional tracking past the meridian on either side
• Tripod legs can be collapsed with accessory tray installed for faster setup and transport

 

Mechanical Features

These mechanical features are engineered to perfect the user experience of the Celestron 9.25 SCT.

• Mirror clutches - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images. Once focused, the flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or on the sensor).
• Tube vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 95-micron micromesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.
• Fastar versatility - Celestron EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. At its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. Add the optional reducer lens—custom-designed for your size EdgeHD tube—and you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging.

 

Improved Ergonomics

• Two handles for easy pickup and transport
• New ergonomically designed dovetail clamping knobs
• Innovative and improved polar alignment adjustment system
• All-new ergonomic adjustment knobs with reduced friction for smooth and easy positioning under full loads 
• Optional add-on polar axis finderscope

 

Electronics

The advanced electronics are a key component of what makes this a superior GoTo Telescope. The seamless integration of the NexStar+ controller and the CGX mount makes this the ultimate Celestron Go To Telescope for effortlessly finding celestial objects.

• NexStar+ hand control with USB port
• Two AUX accessory ports to support wireless/WiFi alignment and operation with StarSense AutoAlign and SkyPortal WiFi Module accessories (sold separately)
• USB 2.0 port, used to connect directly to PC with included software
• Autoguider port
• PPEC ready
• Threaded 12VDC power input barrel connector
• Internal Real Time Clock (keeps time and site information saved)
