  • Celestron CPC Deluxe 800 HD Computerized Telescope

    The Celestron CPC Deluxe 800 HD combines an 8" (203.2mm) EdgeHD optical tube with a computerized dual fork arm mount that suits anything from casual backyard observing to serious astroimaging. This integrated system achieves a Dawes resolution of 0.57 arc seconds and gathers 843x more light than the human eye, while the NexStar+ controller automatically slews to any of its 40,000+ celestial objects. An internal 16-channel GPS supplies time and location, and the total kit weighs 61 lbs.

    8" EdgeHD Optics: A 42mm Flat-Field, Coma-Free System

    At the heart of the CPC Deluxe 800 HD is Celestron's proprietary EdgeHD optical system. This aplanatic Schmidt design corrects for both coma and field curvature, giving aberration-free images across the largest imaging sensors and to the edge of the widest eyepieces, in Celestron's words, over a flat 42mm field optimized for the central 28mm (APS-C). The 2032mm focal length (f/10) and a limiting stellar magnitude of 14 round it out.

    To maximize light transmission, all optical surfaces feature Celestron's premium StarBright XLT coatings. The optical system is also Fastar compatible; by removing the secondary mirror and attaching a third-party lens assembly, you can convert the telescope into an ultra-fast f/2 imaging system for wide-field astrophotography.

    Imaging-Focused Design: Mirror Clutches and a Dual Fork Arm Mount

    The beefy dual fork arm mount anchors the telescope for ultra-precise tracking. DC servo motors offer nine slew speeds up to 5° per second, and a reengineered drive train with a 6-inch brass gear, stainless steel worm gear and steel and nylon ball bearings tracks accurately for up to 30 seconds without a wedge. The entire system, including the 19 lb tripod, weighs 61 lbs, with rugged carrying handles for simplified transport and setup.

    Mirror clutch knobs hold the primary mirror in place after focusing and reduce image shift during long exposures. The tripod has 2" stainless steel legs.

    NexStar+ Controller: 40,000+ Objects with 16-Channel GPS

    Navigating the night sky is effortless with the built-in NexStar+ system. The internal 16-channel GPS automatically acquires your precise location, date, and time. The telescope then walks you through SkyAlign: center any three bright objects in the eyepiece. With optional StarSense AutoAlign, it aligns itself in under 3 minutes.

    Once aligned, the hand controller gives you access to a database of over 40,000 objects, including galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters, with enhanced information on more than 200 of the best targets. The system supports Sidereal, Solar, and Lunar tracking rates and includes an autoguide port, two auxiliary ports for accessories, and a USB port on the hand control for PC connection.

    Visual Observing and Long-Exposure Astrophotography

    The included 40mm eyepiece gives 51x, and the highest useful magnification is 480x. Every EdgeHD should resolve double stars to the Dawes limit, 0.57 arc seconds here.

    For longer exposures, add the optional HD Pro Wedge. With a wedge you can use All-Star Polar Alignment and Permanently Programmable Periodic Error Correction, and the CPC tracks through the meridian without a meridian flip.

  • How does the Celestron CPC Deluxe 800 HD perform on Jupiter or Saturn?

    Every EdgeHD should resolve double stars to the Dawes limit (0.57 arc seconds here), show subtle shadings in Jupiter's belts and reveal the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings on a night of good seeing.

    Is the 61 lb total weight of the CPC Deluxe 800 HD manageable for one person?

    The tripod weighs 19 lbs and the optical tube with mount 42 lbs, and the fork arms have rugged carrying handles.

    Do I need an optional wedge for astrophotography with the CPC Deluxe 800 HD?

    The CPC Deluxe can track accurately for up to 30 seconds without a wedge. For longer exposures, add the HD Pro Wedge.

    What does the internal 16-channel GPS on the CPC Deluxe 800 HD do?

    The internal 16-channel GPS automatically detects the telescope's precise location (latitude and longitude) and the current universal time. This information is fed directly to the NexStar+ hand control, so you do not have to enter it before SkyAlign.

    Can I control the CPC Deluxe 800 HD with a computer or smartphone?

    Yes. The NexStar+ hand control includes a USB port for a direct wired connection to a PC, allowing you to control the telescope with the included Celestron Starry Night Special Edition software. To control it wirelessly with a smartphone or tablet running the SkyPortal app, you can add the SkyQ Link 2 WiFi Module.

    What is the purpose of the mirror clutches on the CPC Deluxe 800 HD optical tube?

    The mirror clutches hold the primary mirror in place after focusing and reduce image shift during long exposures. Loosen them before you refocus.

    How does the CPC Deluxe 800 HD's SkyAlign work if I don't know any stars?

    SkyAlign does not require any knowledge of the night sky. After the internal GPS sets your time and location, the hand control simply asks you to point the telescope at any three bright objects in the sky. The telescope then completes the alignment.
