About this product
CPC 800 GPS XLT Computerized Telescope
A favorite among experienced visual observers. The computerized altazimuth mount provides outstanding tracking accuracy while the 8” Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube delivers sharp views.

Don’t let its sturdy design and large aperture fool you. Our engineers designed the CPC to go wherever you want to observe. Ergonomic carrying handles make set up manageable by one person.
A rock-solid dual Fork arm mount and large aperture At an affordable price: that’s what makes the CPC telescope series a favorite among experienced amateur astronomers. Celestron’s revolutionary sky align plus an internal GPS make alignment a snap. Use the Computerized hand control to quickly slew to over 40, 000 celestial objects, then track your target precisely as it moves across the night sky.
