The computerized Celestron CPC 800 is easy to operate using the included handheld controller.

Sophisticated and easy to use

With its large 8" primary mirror and impressive list of features, the Celestron CPC 800 was built to reveal the beauty of celestial objects in intricate detail. Fully computerized, motorized and equipped with GPS, this telescope makes high-level astronomy easy and comfortable. Aligning the telescope with GPS is a fast, efficient process. Once you're dialed in, you can have the automated Sky Tour feature find the most interesting objects in your local sky and automatically slew to each one. If you have something more specific in mind, the included database is pre-loaded with the coordinates of more than 40,000 objects of interest. Just choose the one you want to see next using the included hand control, and let the telescope's quiet motorized mount swing into action. You'll be enjoying deep knowledge of the stars in no time.

Internal GPS

Inside the computerized altazimuth mount is a 16 channel GPS system. The GPS draws information from orbiting satellites to determine the date, time and your present location — all crucial information for accurate pointing of the telescope. After your scope knows where it is, it also knows which astronomical wonders can be viewed from your present location, so the fun of exploring can begin. GPS paired with the powerful, silent motor drive take the guesswork out of pointing the CPC 800.

Star bright

The CPC 800 gives you a bright, clear view of the heavens. The telescope's 203mm aperture lets the starlight in, and StarBright XLT coating on the primary mirror makes sure that light reaches your eye, so you see stars, planets and deep-space objects in their full glory.
