Celestron 11 Inch CPC Deluxe 1100 HD Telescope – 11009 Celestron

When you’re ready for the best of the best, step up to the CPC Deluxe 1100HD. Celestron’s flagship altazimuth telescope system, the CPC and CPC Deluxe HD families have been the choice of the world’s most acclaimed astronomers. Prof. Stephen Hawking uses a CPC Deluxe 1100HD, while NASA scientists selected the CPC 9.25 to capture images of the Earth from aboard the ISS.

With the CPC Deluxe HD, there’s simply no compromise. You get all of Celestron’s patented and award-winning technologies built right in. You won’t find a better combination of features, performance, and value.

Celestron’s best optical system

Celestron’s optical engineers devised the EdgeHD optical system in response to today’s large format CCD sensors and wide field eyepieces. The aplanatic Schmit optical design corrects for the visual defects of coma and field curvature, delivering pinpoint stars from edge to edge. Each unit must pass a photographic test to ensure crisp, round stars across the entire sensor. Furthermore, all optical surfaces receive Celestron’s high-transmission StarBright XLT optical coatings.

Celestron has included a 23mm Luminos eyepiece with your CPC Deluxe HD, the perfect complement to your HD optics. With its 82-degree apparent field of view, you’ll notice the EdgeHD difference immediately.

Perfect for any application 

Representing the pinnacle of both optical and mechanical performance, the CPC Deluxe HD is the only telescope you’ll ever need to buy. The best part of owning a CPC Deluxe HD is that you can customize your setup to just about any situation.

For a star party or casual observing with friends, the sturdy dual fork arm mount sets up in minutes. Once you turn the telescope on, an internal GPS calculates the exact time, date, and location of your observing site for precise alignment. Select the Sky Align procedure and center any three bright objects in the telescope’s eyepiece. From there, your telescope is ready to locate more than 40,000 objects or take you on a Sky Tour. 

You can add Celestron’s StarSense AutoAlign alignment accessory for even faster setup or the SkyPortal WiFi Module to allow friends to control the telescope via their smartphone.

Ready for astrophotography

For serious astroimaging—from planetary to deep sky—just connect your camera, laptop, and accessories. Choose from three focal ratios for imaging: f/10 at prime focus, f/7 with an EdgeHD focal reducer, or f/2.2 for wide field imaging with Hyperstar. The CPC Deluxe mount is equipped with a reengineered drive train, 6” brass gear, and stainless steel worm gear for picture-perfect tracking up to 30 seconds.

For longer exposures, add the HD Pro Wedge so you can polar align your telescope. Celestron’s All Star Polar Alignment procedure helps you accurately align to the celestial pole in minutes—even if you have an obstructed view of Polaris. 

If you keep your CPC Deluxe in an observatory, the Hibernate function enables you to save your alignment and reuse it night after night.
