I am still waiting but I understand why it is taking so long. I am excited to make the next step up to a very versatile scope. Its too hot here in the desert to enjoy using it anyway. Thank you and be safe.
In the good old days, all Celestron SCT models used two fork tines-single tine models didn't exist. Having said that, the Evolution Edge HD looks like a brilliant compromise between stability and weight. The CPC Deluxe Edge HD series is also a beauty. Only wish it had an 8-hour inbuilt rechargeable power source similar to the Evolution Thank you for the presentation :-)
I know that yours is an old comment, but I will respond anyway. Celestron offers an equatorial wedge for the CPC scopes: HD Pro Wedge, Celestron Item #: 93664. All of the bigger astronomy vendors offer it, as do Amazon, B&H, Adorama, etc. I have not bought this because I am mostly a visual astronomer and I don't need a polar aligned mount for that. If you a scope on a German Equatorial Mount, you are better off buying just the optical tube (standard SCT or Edge HD modified SCT), rather than a fork-mounted CPC or CPC Edge HD, and putting it on the mount of your choice. Celestron offers several GEMs with the Nexstar software. I have the Advanced VX mount for the C5+ optical tube and I have friends with 8", 9.25", and 11" OTAs on different Celestron and non-Celestron GEMs.
I am confused since I was told the CPC mount cannot have a DSLR attached over 700gr since that will damage the motors... and in addition, time for exposure will be far too short for deep space with that CPC mount. Where is the truth? Thanks
This is the best comparison ever! Straight to the point and yet detailed! Exactly what I need to decide
By far the best telescope comparison channel! Straight to the point as always.
I just bought the CPC 800 deluxe 3 days ago. They say 14 to 28 days. Yeah baby! I can't wait. Thank you.
Nice!!

I've been looking for something like this for hours. Thank you!
Thanks for the video!

I made my mind now! I will buy the CPC 9.25" edge hd after one year of research. Thank you for the video!
Superb Choice ... & Congratulations 🤗🤗
Do the Orion intelliScope series please! I am thinking to buy one of those telescopes.
Awesome video
Are you able to change from a AltAz mount to an EQ style mount on the CPC series?

Does this offer WiFi connectivity like the Evolution?
How much weight do I have to lift onto the tripod for each scope?

On the cpc 11, to have 40x you should use a 70 mm eyepiece, that's impossible
