Celestron CGX-L 1400 Fastar 14″ SCT Go-To Computerized Telescope 12072

Description

In addition, the NexStar computer hand control is GPS-compatible (using an optional inexpensive CN16 GPS module) for full GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite accuracy. Once the scope is approximately polar aligned, the 16-channel CN16 GPS system uses signals from government satellites to calculate the scope’s location on earth with an accuracy measured in meters. The system also calculates the current time based on the split second accuracy of the GPS time signals. After the CN16 quickly completes these calculations and enters the information into the computer control for you automatically, the computer then orients the scope with the sky, slews to a pair of guide stars, asks you to confirm that the stars are in the center of the field (and center them if they’re not precisely aligned), and then starts finding and tracking over 40,000 objects for you at your command. With the CGX-L go-to mount and the CN16, orienting the scope in time and space on earth and aligning your telescope on the sky becomes almost as easy a task as simply turning on your CGX-L mount.

Two-year warranty: All Celestron go-to telescopes have a two-year warranty, double that of competitive go-to scopes.
