Our mobile telescopes
Besides our fixed main telescope, the CDK20 from Planewave, our telescope family currently includes the following four telescopes:
Schmidt Cassegrain telescopes from Celestron
Have a total of three of these telescopes with varying dimensions. Starting at 8″ over 11″ up to 14″.
The C14
| Type | Schmidt-Cassegrain |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Celestron |
| Aperture | 356 mm |
| Focal Length | 3910 mm |
| Spatial Auflesivity | 0.33″ |
| Length of the tube | 78 cm |
| Weight | 20,4kg |
| Mirror coating | StarBright™ XLT multicoating |
| Fastar compatible | No |
The C14 is our largest Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. It can be mounted on either the CGE-Pro or the CGX-L mount from Celestron. Before we got the CDK-20, the C14 used to be our main fixed telescope. The C14 cannot be used for solar observations. The setup and operation is basically equivalent to the C11. The setup of the CGX-L differs only in a few points from the CGE-Pro. However, the CGX-L is somewhat easier to handle than the CGE-Pro.
Das C11
| Type | Schmidt-Cassegrain |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Celestron |
| Aperture | 279.4 mm |
| Focal Length | 2800 mm |
| Spatial Auflesivity | 0.41″ |
| Length of the tube | 61 cm |
| Weight | 12,5kg |
| Mirror coating | StarBright™ XLT multicoating |
| Fastar compatible | Yes |
The C11 can be mounted on both Celestron's CGE-Pro and CGX-L mounts. We have a sun filter for the C11, so it can be used for solar observations. The setup and operation of the C11 and the CGE-Pro is described in a separate article. The setup of the CGX-L differs only in a few points from the CGE-Pro. However, the CGX-L is somewhat easier to handle than the CGE-Pro.
The C8
| Type | Schmidt-Cassegrain |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Celestron |
| Aperture | 203.2 mm |
| Focal Length | 2032 mm |
| Spatial Auflesivity | 0.57″ |
| Length of the tube | 43.2 cm |
| Weight | 5.67kg |
| Mirror Coating | StarBright™ XLT Multi-coating |
| Fastar compatible | Yes |
The C8 comes with the Advanced GT mount from Celestron. As for the C11, we also have a solar filter for the C8. The setup and operation of the C8 and the Advanced GT is described in a separate article.
