To design the perfect telescope family for the beginner or advanced user, you have to think BIG.
The new Advanced Series family of computerized GoTo and non-computerized telescopes was designed to offer the novice or more advanced user a selection of models with the features and quality that serious amateurs can appreciate. These scopes come on NEW heavy-duty German Equatorial mounts with NEW ultra-sturdy 2" stainless steel legs and center tray for superior rigidity and vibration dampening. The Advanced Series comes in refractor, reflector and Schmidt-Cassegrain models. The refractor models range from a 4" to an impressive 6" aperture. For even more light gathering power there are 6", 8" and a NEW 10" Newtonian Reflector. There are also 5", 8" and 9 1/4" Schmidt-Cassegrain optical designs that feature Celestron's precision matched and hand-figured optical systems.
CG-5 Mount — Precision engineered for stability.
Our new German Equatorial mount has precision worm gears on both axes for extremely smooth stability. The key element that makes this system the most stable in its class is the NEW heavy-duty tripod with larger and more substantial legs that offer excellent damping characteristics for more stable views. The CG-5 also has a convenient latitude scale for easier alignment and an optional polar finder scope for the ultimate in precision alignments.
GoTo convenience and GPS compatibility for precision accuracy.
We are proud to offer the GT versions of the Advanced Series on a computerized GoTo version of Celestron's sturdy CG-5 mount. Couple this solid mount with the included computerized control system to utilize many of the same functions and features-like the NexStar computer control system and an Autoguider port for long exposure deep sky astrophotography-as Celestron's most advanced GoTo telescopes. GoTo models are also upgradeable to GPS with the optional CN16 GPS Accessory (#93963) allowing your telescope to pinpoint your position on the earth, the date and time, making the alignment process faster and easier than ever before! These GoTo versions of the Advanced Series also come loaded with new software features and over 40,000 database objects. Capable of holding over 35 lbs of payload and slewing at 4º per second, you will be able to instantly point to any of the celestial objects in the database.
The Advanced GT Series telescopes include these high performance features:
- GPS-compatible with optional CN16 GPS Accessory (#93963)
- Proven NexStar® computer control technology
- RS-232 communication port on hand control to control the telescope via a personal computer
- Autoguider port for long exposure astrophotography
- 40,000+ object database with 400 user-definable objects and expanded information on over 200 objects
- Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable star; solar systems; objects and asterisms
- Double line, 16-character Liquid Crystal Display Hand Control with 19 fiber optic backlit LED buttons
- DC Servo motors with encoders on both axes
- The CG-5 GT computerized mount features Celestron's sleek integrated design.

The C9 1/4-S telescope combines the unequaled optical excellence of a Celestron 9 1/4" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with the economical CG-5 German equatorial mount. The 9 1/4" was specifically designed for visual infinity focus when using 2" eyepieces and has an optimized baffle system to benefit astrophotography by minimizing vignetting at the edge of the field of view. Its longer primary focal length and lower magnification secondary mirror contribute to a flatter field of view at the focal plane and helps to further reduce optical aberrations. The C9 1/4-S optical system comes with StarBright®coatings. The optimized baffling system benefits astrophotography and gives high contrast views of the planets. With 33% more light gathering than the 8" model, the C9 1/4-S is compatible with the complete line of Celestron photographic and visual accessories.
