The CGX 1100 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is portable enough to be taken to dark skies. The 27.5-pound OTA features premium coatings, a 2800mm focal length, and an f/10 focal ratio. The CGX GoTo EQ Mount Head with NexStar+ computer hand controller provides smooth, accurate tracking of near- and deep-sky objects. The CGX Tripod forms a sturdy base for this system for many hours of fascinating astronomical observation.
Celestron C11-A XLT 11" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (OTA Only, CGE Dovetail)
Outfitted with an over-sized aperture, long effective focal length, and their proprietary StarBright XLT optical coatings, the Celestron C11-A XLT 11" f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope provides power and portability. The coating system consists of anti-reflection coatings on the corrector plate, highly reflective index mirror coatings, and low-absorption/high-transmission glass components to ensure that the maximum amount of light is gathered and transmitted to the user's eye. This system ensures bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color rendition across the entire visual spectrum without visible distortion at the edges. Celestron includes a standard 1.25" visual back to accept eyepieces and accessories such as the 40mm eyepiece and 90° diagonal supplied with the optical tube assembly (OTA). This OTA is offered here without a mount or tripod for users who already have a support system—just ensure the mount's payload capacity exceeds 27.5 pounds to safely carry the weight and that the mount has a Losmandy-style saddle to match the OTA's CGE mounting plate.
Optical Tube
- 11" (279.4mm) aperture
- f/10 focal ratio
- 2800mm effective focal length
- Schmidt-Cassegrain design optical path
- StarBright XLT optical coatings
- Resolution: 0.5 arcsec (Rayleigh); 0.42 arcsec (Dawes)
- Secondary mirror obstruction: 3.75" (95 mm); 34% by diameter; 12% by area
StarBright XLT System
- Maximizes light transmission through optical path
- Improves color rendition, contrast, sharpness, resolution, and brightness
- Broadband system provides flat wavelength transmission across the entire visual spectrum
- Multi-layer mirror coatings with layers of aluminum, SiO2 (quartz), and TiO2 (titanium dioxide)
- Multi-layer anti-reflective corrector plate coatings with layers of MgF2 (magnesium fluoride) and HfO2 (hafnium dioxide); hafnium has a wider band-pass than the commonly used titanium
- High-transmission water white glass corrector plate limits light loss due to internal absorption
Mounting
- Optical tube only—mount and tripod required for proper use
- Supplied with CGE dovetail plate, which is compatible with Losmandy-style saddles
- Mount must have a payload capacity of over 27.5 pounds to safely support the OTA
Included Accessories

- Finderscope:
- 9x magnification
- 50mm aperture
- Mounting bracket included
- 40mm Eyepiece
- 1.25" 90° Diagonal
- SCT Visual Back
- 9x50mm Finderscope
- Celestron Universal Mounting Plate, CGE
- Limited 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty
