Review: Outstanding "Bang For Your Buck" Telescope! - Outstanding and serious telescope! In my opinion, it's the "best bang for your buck" Aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on the market. Before I purchased this model and brand, I painstakingly researched reviews and opinions from buyers and amateur astronomers for months. Since this was my first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT), I wanted to get it right the first time because of the cost. In the past, I was into refractor telescopes. I began as a Meade fan, but I soon changed into a Celestron stargazer. In sum, I came up with a plethora of notes that swayed me to Celestron and the 8 inch EdgeHD model. I've included ten of those notes below from my research. 1. The telescope warranty is two years for Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain models as opposed to Meade's one year guarantee. 2. Celestron's customer service appears to be superior to Meade's support. Celestron is also based in California. Easy access if worse comes to worse for support. 3. Celestron has fantastic quality. Upon examining this scope, it was better than many other brands that I have had the opportunity to view. 4. EdgeHD optics beats Meade's Advanced Coma Free system. You can refer to side-by-side comparison data on the web. EdgeHD optics are crystal clear to the edge of the field of view (FOV) where Meade's LX200 series are ever-so-slightly fuzzy. There's plenty of info on the web to back this up as well as personal observations. Whether you like astrophotography or not, the optics were worth the extra money. I'm not into astrophotography, but if I change my mind in the future, I have the SCT to do it. Besides, the EdgeHD model is designed for affordable performance. A "dark sky" rules, but so does optics for deep space viewing. Thus, the EdgeHD in the 8 inch SCT model gives me a high performance FOV of planets and deep space objects. Of course, a good eyepiece matters too. 5. The CPC HD 800 has a better tripod (tray) than the regular Celestron CPC series model. It's easy to set up and take down, extremely stable, adjustable, and very well made. 6. Weight is everything. I chose an 8 inch SCT because of its manageability. More scope means more weight. 7. Celestron's battery system for powering the CPC HD 800 is superior to Meade's small 8 battery system. The CPC can access your car's battery supply via a cigarette lighter (12v) outlet, but I found that unrealistic. Thus, an exterior Celestron battery pack is necessary, which adds to an extra expense. Moreover, the battery pack needs periodic charging cycles when not in use. Still, the extra power was a better choice, and the battery pack can be used in emergencies because of the onboard fixed flashlights. 8. The worm drive is precise and strong in the Alt-Azimuth mount. There's no slop in the system. In addition, backlash is adjustable. 9. Scope controls are smooth and precise. There appears to be a slight problem in some brands, but not Celestron. 10. NexStar+ (upgrade) hand control with GPS is super easy to use on the Celestron. The CPC is very easy to align with multiple methods available, and the control and the tracking is "dead-on" every time. Uranus, Neptune, Andromeda Galaxy (M31), and faint objects were all at or near dead center. Meade's control, although improving, is more cumbersome to use via more scrolling and periodically insufficient displayed info/data. The NexStar+ layout is better from a technical point of view. The CPC HD 800 is affordable for a big, serious instrument when compared to other brands with similar features. It packs so many professional elements. Though, you should understand that this is your initial investment as other equipment may follow. After two months, I purchased a 2 inch star diagonal (standard 1 1/4 inch was included) and higher quality eyepieces that added significantly to the overall cost. Still, the "outcome was worth the income." All-in-all, when it comes to brands, we can debate Celestron and Meade telescopes like Chevrolet and Ford cars/trucks, but the bottom line is "what works for you." Meade as well as other companies build great telescopes. Nevertheless, it is my opinion, as an amateur astronomer, that Celestron builds a better scope. I've come to the conclusion that many colleges carry Meade telescopes because they are a little less pricey. However, their mechanical reliability and quality aren't up to Celestron's level. Of course, that's my opinion too!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it worth it**
A: I think so.  I have three telescopes, all Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrains:  a C5+ (5") that I bought in 1999 and which now usually sits on a Celestron Advanced VX mount, a CPC-800 (8") that I bought in 2007, and the CPC-1100 Deluxe HD (11") that I bought in June 2017.  The 5" is my quick setup, widest field scope (though not wide by refractor and Newtonian standards).  The 5" also gets used a little for photography, both terrestrial and astro.  The 8" has now transitioned from being my main observing rig to being my main public/urban/school star party scope.  The 11" will get some use for public/urban/school star parties, but it's main purpose for me is deep sky observing from dark sites.

One of the reasons I made the jump was wanting to resolve more globular clusters and to see more detail in nebulas and galaxies.  I like SCTs (especially Celestron's and their computerized mounts) and didn't really want to go the Dobsonian route even though the same money would have landed me a bigger scope.  I had looked through several other Celetron 11s (non HD) over the years and had concluded that this was going to the be sweet spot for me.  I bought the HD primarily for its improved mechanics and optics and it gives the option of Fastar if I ever decide to jump into f/2 imaging.

Three weeks ago, I had the scope at Big Stump in Kings Canyon National Park (6500 ft elevation), under good, but not great skies.  I saw Triton for the first time, saw four of the five galaxies in Stephan's Quintet (the best my 8" ever did was just the brightest of the five), saw dust lanes in NGC 253 in Sculptor (the view was almost as nice as in a friends 20" Obsession Dob…almost), and saw NGC 604 in M33 for the first time.  The Veil Nebula showed detail, which the 8" never really did.  Best of all, though, and certain justification for spending the money, was the view of the Orion Nebula:  the detail was extraordinary and the extent was probably 50% bigger than in the 8".  I have a 41 Panoptic, which provides a 1.0° field of view and it couldn't cover all of the M42.  In the 8", I typically see more than about 3/4°.  I also saw the E and F stars in the Trapezium (first time for the F star).

Regarding the price, I had every intention of paying full price, but three days before I was going to pull the trigger, Celestron announced their summer sale and I got the scope for $400 less, which let me get the 41 Panoptic.

**Q: Does this have a built in power supply**
A: No it does not have a built-in power supply it comes with a 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter

**Q: Is there a place to learn how to use this teliscope? And how to set it up for astro photography.**
A: Online or astronomy club.  Look for a Wedge so that you can take longer exposures.   Look for a good camera (canon eos or nikon, or astro-only cameras) that fits in your budget.  This telescope also supports Hyperstar, something I wanted to try but am paranoid about weight of it and camera on secondary mirror.  Once you have images, you will also want to do some post-processing of those images and will require software.  I recommend PixInsight over non-astro-specific software like photoshop or the packages that might come with the camera you have chosen.

In general, be prepared to spend as much or more money on the photographic equipment than you do on the telescope. 1100HD is a great scope.  You should decide what you want in a camera (something specific for astrophotography or dual-use camera that you can also photo the family with while on vacation), and get used to the idea of becoming somewhat involved in data processing to produce the kinds of images you want.  Photographing a galaxy is slightly more involved than taking a photo of the family pet.  Learn what is involved before jumping in.

**Q: What is the difference between this telescope and the celestron clc 1100 starbright xlt?**
A: This "Deluxe" scope is a Schmidt-Cassegrain, but with the "Edge HD optics" is an "aplanic" Schmidt Cassegrain, which means that it has an extra set of optic lenses in the primary baffle tube that normal non-high definition Schmidt-Cassegrains do not have. That "flattens" the field out to the edges, meaning stars on the edge of the field of view (FOV) are sharp instead of smeared (particularly with wide field-of-view eyepieces like TeleVue Ethos and Explore Scientific 92,100 and 120 FOV eyepieces)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow images and user friendly computer go to makes this scope a masterpiece.
*by A***R on July 19, 2019*

Hated go-to scopes until now; user friendly built in gps gets this scope on target fast. Set up is quick, optics are SUPERB!! Celestron customer support is intelligent and streamlined - had a missing part to me with minimum hassle. I bought a li-ion power supply and velcro'd it unobtrusively to the base assembly. Can also be used manually, just unlock the clutches. Maxbrght binoviewer and 23mm Svbony eyepieces make a killer pairing with high point scientific 2" diagonal for astoundingly satisfying images of moon, globular clusters, doubles, whatever there is to see. The apochromatic qualities of this system are praiseworthy. I could have saved money had I bought a C8 years ago, but this Edge 800 HD was worth the wait.
