Is this one that you sell the Celestron CPC 1100 XLT GOTO Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope? I'm looking for the "GoTo". Thanks

The to go program will need some minimum alignment, but once aligned it is easy to use. It can be used with a laptop and can be adjusted for astrophotography.

The CPC 1100 is a "go to" telescope. You can even run it off your computer and use a free program called Stellarium to navigate the night sky. If you are considering purchasing this telescope, make sure you pick up a JMI custom case for it. You should also get a power tank for it, since you will need one. You could also consider the AC adapter for it, if you are near an outlet with it. Also consider getting the Celestron StarSense. That device makes aligning your scope so much easier! You will also want to get 2" eye pieces for it. 1.25" is to small on this huge scope. Celestron has a nice 2" eyepiece kit you can get, that comes in a nice case. :) The CPC 1100 is a "go to" telescope.

Yes it is a go-to. After a simple alignment process it'll find anything. I absolutely love this telescope! You won't be disappointed!

It's technically the same model (C5) but newer generations of Celestron telescopes are bit more cheaply made. On the other hand, the current model is probably 1/4 the price of what the original versions cost.

The Nexstar series scopes have three rubber feet. They could sit on a table, but unless your table was stone on a concrete pier, it would probably not be stable enough to get much use out of a telescope.The level of the table has nothing to to with the GoTo function BTW. If you do a 2 star alignment, the telescope will perform goto just fine, even if the base is polar aligned (which by me would be inclined around 42 degrees).

Just a thought. During the Hawk watch in Cape May there were many friendly birders with many types of different scopes. I looked though many brands including all the top brands that ran over 2,000 bucks. I saw the Celestron and was curious to look through it because I considered Celestron more of a astronomy company. Well I was really surprised how crisp the view was and when I was told the price tag I was sold. I have enjoyed this (I have the 80 objective lens) scope for many months and have to desire to upgrade because the optical difference in the models over two grand is not worth it. You will be happy with the Celestron. Good luck with your decision. Just a thought. During the Hawk watch in Cape May there were many friendly birders with many types of different scopes.

All I can say is "Good Luck"! I am having the same problem! I have checked Celestron and the other Telescope Manufacturers and no luck!

is this work with the Celestron NexStar 6SE? and would it gives better results than #93633-A (Celestron T-adapter for all Schmidt-Cassegrains)??

I just ordered the Celestron Nexstar SLT 130, as recommended by a friend who has been into astronomy for years..as a beginner myself I would definitely recommend this telescope...I've used it every night since I've gotten it...the computer makes it really easy to set up and find planets and stars right away!

Hello, telescope is the same. One just comes with book, light, map, and the star chart. Hope this helps. By the way it's a great scope for the price.

I have a Meade ETX70 with Autostar. I find the included alignment system to be too time consuming. The SkyScout does a pretty decent job in locating my objects of interest. I then point the telescope to that area and fine tune the location until I have it centered. For the price I find it to be a worthwhile investment.

I cannot, but I can give you my perspective on the StarMax 90 mm by Orion. It is small, portable, and clear, but I wear glasses, and it is hard to see through with the 10x eyepiece. I think all of the small scopes will be. I wish I had spent the extra $100 and bought the 6" Dobsonian mounted reflector, but I wanted to use this during the day for spotting animals from a distance. I gave this as a present to my wife who hasn't worked with the telescope yet, and she may have different opinions. I did get her the camera mount, polar lens, and an extra eye piece that doubles the magnification. I think that you'll find that both are probably one in the same IMO. I do like the table top mount that the Orion has. I think once the weather warms we will be able to give a more thorough opinion. I think I will end up getting the reflector with the Dobsonian mount the color CCD eyepiece from Orion, and a few extras. If you have room I'd suggest the 6" reflector, or this http://www.telescope.com/Orion-XT45-Dobsonian-Telescope-amp-Beginner-Barlow-Kit/p/102027.uts . I feel that we may outgrow the Starmax 90, but I think the 4.5 or 6 with Dobsonian would well used for the lifetime of star gazing.

I was looking at these and changed to a 10 x 50 Celestron " Up Close G2" . They were only $31.16 shipping a d i would by another pair tomorrow if need be. Crisp wide almost 3D vision. Check those out before spending your hard earned bucks.

SKK, I'm not sure how to help you??I ordered the telescope for the science teacher at school I've NEVER used the telescope I don't know if the science used it with her students? My suggestion would be call or write the manufacturer. Check your instruction booklet if there's one??I just volunteering at a school and have access to Amazon that teachers don't have, I'm live out side of the US in a poor third world country! Hope you can get your problem answered?

Sorry, I cannot respond. The telescope and accessories were a gift. I know nothing about the bits and pieces.

You get the 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain scope with the superior XLT optical coatings, a fully-computerized drive on an altitude/azimuth fork mount, the Celestron NexStar computer controller and GPS alignment system, and a solid portable tripod. It also comes with an AC power system, a diagonal mirror adaptor, and one 40 mm eyepiece to get your started. You'll probably want to purchase a set of eyepieces and filters (like the Celestron Accessory Kit) at the same time you buy the scope.
