Computerized hand control with
easy-to-read backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) unit
Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC)-once
periodic errors are recorded for elimination, the telescope maintains the
recording even when turned off
Built-in, adjustable backlash compensation
AutoGuider Port
RS-232 port for communication with a PC to
operate and use with the telescope (one on hand control and one on drive
base)
14"(355.6mm) large aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain
optical system
Focal length of 3910mm at f/11
Resolution: .33 arc seconds
Starbright Coatings
Hand-figured optics
Weight:
164 pounds
Standard Accessories:
40mm multi-coated 1.25" Plössl eyepiece
(98X)
9x50 Finderscope
Car Battery Adapter
2" star diagonal with 1.25" adapter
Heavy duty CI-700 mount
Heavy duty tripod
Optional Accessories:
Reducer/Corrector F/6.3
AC Adapter
Eyepiece Filters

By
combining advanced features like the NexStar GOTO control system with the
largest aperture Celestron offers, we created a telescope with unparalleled
optics and ease of use. The already sophisticated CI-1700 mount becomes an
even bigger joy to use now that it works in tandem with the GOTO's
computerized database. And like all advanced series telescopes, the
precision optics work together to provide spectacular views that you simply
can't get with other telescopes.
CI-700
GERMAN
EQUATORIAL MOUNT
Model
No. 91525
Manufactured by Celestron using modern CNC machining technology, the
CI-700 Equatorial mount is the very same mount that supports our
CM-1100
As seen in May 2001 issue of Astronomy magazine.
and CM-1400 telescopes. With
a standard dovetailed mounting plate and dual-axis drive system, the
CI-700 will provide maximum strength and rigidity essential for
quality telescope performance both visually and photographically. The
CI-700 includes many exceptional features.
CI-700's easy-to-install
cables connect the electronics pier to the hand control and motor
drive, which operates at varying speeds.
