CGEM II 1100 HD combines Celestron's newly redesigned CGEM II computerized equatorial mount with its acclaimed EdgeHD optical system. With an optical tube assembly weighing only 28 lbs., this telescope is still portable enough to be taken to dark skies, and has 89% more light gathering power than an 8" telescope and 40% more than the 9.25".

OPTICAL TUBE INFO:

See the Universe in HD
EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma; it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.

True Astrograph Quality
Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrographs" actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.

True Astrograph Quality

Many optical designs advertise themselves as “astrographs,” but only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. Even when focused sharply in the center of the field of view, this curved plane cannot bring stars at the edges into focus. The wider the field of view, the more pronounced this defect becomes. This may be acceptable for some visual observing, but when a curved plane is paired with the flat sensor of a digital camera, stars become noticeably out of focus at the edges.

EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs, guaranteeing you visibly sharp stars all the way across the imaging sensor.

A curved focal plane cannot produce consistent results on a flat CCD chip. Stars will appear out of focus at the edges.

A DIFFERENCE YOU CAN SEE

Compare the two images of M3 below. The first was taken with a competing coma-free optical design, the second with EdgeHD. Both images were taken with the same 35 mm chip (42 mm diameter focal plane) camera under the same conditions.

When focused on-axis, both images appear to be sharp in the center. But in the first image, as you examine the stars closer and closer to the edge, the stars become larger and less focused. Finally, at the very corners, the stars are so defocused that they appear as rings instead of pinpoints.

Now look at the second image. As you move from the center outward, the stars retain their focus from edge to edge, appearing as crisp, solid points of light.

Fig. 1: The competing coma-free design, when focused on the axis, shows sharp stars in the center of the image, but dramatically out-of-focus stars (rings or donuts) at the edges.

Fig. 2: EdgeHD produces a consistent, sharp focus across the entire FOV.

IMPROVED PERFORMANCE FOR BRIGHTER, MORE DETAILED IMAGES

Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars, but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude compared to telescopes of equal aperture.

Celestron’s high definition optics let you resolve smaller spot sizes all the way to the outer edge, revealing finer detail and greater contrast. Compare the two cropped images below, both taken with a 37 mm chip (52 mm diameter focal plane) camera.

Fig. 1 (left):  The off-axis coma inherent in many optical designs (such as the SCT shown above) distorts star images and compromises resolution.

Fig. 2 (right): EdgeHD focuses sharply across the entire FOV, revealing fine detail lost with other systems.

What’s more, EdgeHD optics give you smaller, more concentrated stars so you can see fainter magnitudes than with other equally-sized telescopes. Poor edge quality can spread out starlight so much that the brightness of a star appears the same as the sky background, making it undetectable to your eye or camera. With EdgeHD optics, you can capture the faintest of galaxies all the way to the corner of your full-frame camera chip. Compare the two cropped images below, both taken with a 37 mm chip (52 mm diameter focal plane) camera.

Fig. 1 (left): In telescopes that exhibit off-axis coma, faint starlight can go unnoticed at the edge of the field of view.

Fig. 2 (right): EdgeHD optics resolve faint detail missed in telescopes of equal aperture.

All EdgeHD optical tubes also feature Celestron’s StarBright XLT coating system on all mirror and lens surfaces. When added to the EdgeHD optical system, StarBright XLT provides maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. 

MECHANICAL FEATURES

The EdgeHD tube features an innovative mechanical design to ensure you get the most from your optics each and every night.

Mirror support

Flexible tension clutches hold the primary mirror in place and reduce image shift. The flexible rods hold the mirror in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping your target centered in the eyepiece or chip.

Tube vents

Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated micromesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.

Fastar versatility

EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. At its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep-sky objects. To increase your field of view without sacrificing performance, add the optional EdgeHD reducer lens. Each one is custom-made for your size EdgeHD optical tube and brings your focal ratio down to f/7. A Barlow lens provides additional magnification for high-resolution planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. And, of course, all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging. Each EdgeHD tube is fitted with a removable secondary mirror and is opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure it is axially symmetric in any configuration.

Easy collimation

Guarantee ideal performance every time. Edge HD’s precision-machined mechanics and a spherical secondary mirror make collimation simple and accurate.

EDGEHD WHITEPAPER

Want the full story behind EdgeHD optics? Celestron’s Product Development team has released a whitepaper outlining the development of EdgeHD, the manufacturing and QA process, and how to get the most out of your system.  It also includes cross-sections of the EdgeHD series, comparative spot diagrams for the EdgeHD and competing “coma-free” Schmidt-Cassegrain designs, a table with specifications for visual and imaging, and graphics showing how to place sensors at the optimum back-focus distance for astroimaging.

Improved Performance
Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars, but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. With Celestron’s StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.

Mechanical Features
In addition to EdgeHD’s optimized optical design, the telescope tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.

Individually Tested
Every EdgeHD that ships has been tested not only for the surface quality of each optical component, but also with a camera and artificial star to ensure the imaging system meets our rigid quality assurance. This “final acceptance test” confirms the EdgeHD will perform in the field and deliver high-quality astroimages.
