Celestron 11" SCT Telescope with CGEM II Equatorial Mount

The C11 OTA weighs 27.5 lbs (12.4 kg), so it falls within the load capacity range of the Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ5 mount.

Using the C11-A XLT OTA with a Dielectric Star Diagonal, 2” with Twist-Lock #93573, or Mirror Diagonal with XLT Coatings - 2" #93527, it is possible to use 2" eyepieces.

Yes, you can. You will need the Celestron T-Adapter for SCT telescopes #93633-A, which attaches an SLR or DSLR camera to a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for prime focus photography. You will also need a camera specific T-Ring (Canon or Nikon). Inquire with B&H for availability. An optional Focal Reducer #94175 is also available if you so choose.

Celestron only offers the C11-A XLT 11" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (CGE Dovetail) #91036-XLT. This optical tube features a black, aluminum optical tube with StarBright XLT Optical Coatings.

The C11 optical tube will show surface features of Mars during favorable oppositions, Jupiter's cloud bands and it's Great Red Spot. Saturn's Cassini ring division is easily viewable. Mercury is too small and too close the sun to see much detail. Venus is covered in clouds, so it appears featureless, but you can observe its phases. Uranus and Neptune are too far away and will resemble bluish dots.
