About this item

  • Field of View: Celestron CGEM II EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view
  • 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
  • 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 50-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in
  • Mirror Clutches: Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images
  • Versatile: At native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging


EdgeHD aplanatic, flat field SCT optics to pinpoint stars Lightweight and portable Aluminum optical tube with tube vents Versatile design accommodates 3 focal ratios Dual-fit Vixen/CG-5 and Losmandy/CGE dovetail saddle 2-Inch steel legs with height index marks for quick leveling Low cog DC Servo motor with integrated optical encoders

The EdgeHd scope is great, no complaints about that. The so-called mount was literally just thrown across the driveway and into the trash, I wouldn’t even give this away to somebody! I would feel guilty about the curse I just handed to them. I’ve had this mount all summer, it hasn’t worked once yet. I’ve dropped so much money on accessories and cords that supposedly get this thing to work, also some of the needed cords were literally used on printers in the 1980’s! Celestron has no documentation on the 25 different ways you can try to connect your mount to software. I never was able to get PHD guiding to recognize this mount, even after EVERY single internet “how-to”, still no connection.I’m not new to astrophotography, this was supposed to be my second set-up to run alongside my main scope so I can shoot one target while the other rig is running. But as I said, the mount never worked once. Celestron needs to discontinue these mounts and do some serious tech upgrades!

Although heavier than I expected, this telescope is amazing. The tracking is extremely accurate and very clear through the eyepiece. I am very happy with this purchase

Package arrived today in great condition. Everything was as advertised. The mount is very sturdy, no bent or defect as others have pointed out. Setup the QHYCCD polar scope, going to give everything a try and update the comment if necessary. Very happy with the purchase.
