CPC1100 - What a scope!
27 April 2018  | 

I have had my CPC1100 for four years and it has bought me 100s of nights of joy at the eyepiece. The scope has enough light gathering power to see the faintest fuzzies and the Celestron electronics really deliver on reliability and goto precision. Make sure you get a 2 inch visual back and some widefield eyepieces to really get the most out of this great scope!
