- Battery Size: Other (The battery size required for operation.)
- Features
- Computerized Hand Control: true
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Other (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Indicator Light(s): false

- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Integrated Digital Camera: false
- Imaging
- Magnification: 70 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Ratio: f/10 (Measurement of the device's optic "speed," calculated by dviding focal length by aperture. The smaller (faster) the f/number, the lower the magnification, wider the field of view, and brighter the image - good for low power observing and deep space photography. Larger (slower) f/numbers are better suited for high power lunar and planetary viewing.)
- Focal Length: 2800 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
- Other
- Assembly Required: No
- UPC: 050234107518

Q: Can this be purchased in store?
A: No, online is the only option to purchase a CPC 1100 GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope at Best Buy.
Q: What accessories would I need for a Canon Rebel T5i DSLR? Thanks.
A: Here is a list of recommended accessories for your Canon T5i DSLR camera attached to a CPC 1100 GPS SCT Telescope: PowerTank Lithium #18771, T-Ring for Canon EOS Camera #93419, T-Adapter for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes #93633-A, Reducer - Corrector #94175.
Q: What accessory do I need for DSLR (NIKON D 810) to take pictures?
A: For the CPC 1100 GPS SCT, you will need the Celestron SCT T-Adapter #93633-A and a Celestron Nikon T-Ring #93402. Keep in mind that the clear aperture of the 93633-A is 38mm, and the sensor diagonal of the full-frame D810 is 43.6mm, so the extreme corners will vignette. Celestron only makes M48 T-adapters for the EdgeHD 9.25”, 11”, and 14” telescopes.
