It all starts with Celestrons proprietary EdgeHD optical system. This unique design corrects for both coma and field curvature, providing aberration-free images and pinpoint stars across the largest imaging sensors and all the way to the edge of the widest eyepieces.</p><p><strong>CPC Deluxe Mount and Tripod</strong></p><p>Customers and reviewers have hailed the CPC Deluxe an all-around top performer, equally well suited to a star party or a university astronomy course. The beefy dual fork arm mount anchors the telescope for ultra-precise tracking, but weighs just 43 lb and includes rugged carrying handles to make setup quick and easy.</p><p><strong>Built with Imaging in Mind</strong></p><p>Most altazimuth telescopes are designed primarily for visual use, but not the CPC Deluxe. It offers all the same high-end features you'll find on Celestrons German equatorial mounts. Out of the box, your CPC Deluxe can track accurately for up to 30 seconds without adding a wedge, thanks to a reengineered drive train with a 6-inch brass gear, stainless steel worm gear, and both steel and nylon ball bearings.</p>
