Item description. You are buying this Celestron CPC 1100 Telescope that is in excellent condition. The photos show you the actual items you are buying. First about the telescope and the changes that I made. Look at the photos showing the Telescope. I replaced the Celestron 1.25” Visual Back that came with the telescope with a Starlight Instruments Focuser. I first had to installed the Starlight Instruments 2” Focuser Adapter to the rear cell of the telescope. Then I installed the FTF2008BCR Starlight Instruments 2” Feather Touch Focuser 0.8” with Brake & Compression Ring. The reason I replaced the Visual Back was because after reading about focusing and image shifts on the Celestron web site I decided to make the change. Buying the adapter and focuser was a great $670 dollar investment. I also added a much more useful Diagonal, a Astro Tech Dielectric 2” Diagonal that can be used with either 1.25” or 2” eyepieces and accessories, that replaced the Celestron 1.25” Diagonal that came with the telescope. That also was a great $150 dollar investment. The photos that shows the Celestron 40mm Plossl eyepiece that came with the Telescope. Now look at the photos showing the CPC Tripod. I purchase the Manfrotto #114 Heavy Duty Dolly that has a Load Capacity of 132 lbs a few months ago for $450 dollars. The Dolly is still in excellent condition. This #114 dolly with its unique tripod leg locking system makes it very stable when moving the telescope and tripod together.The 5” wheels makes it easy for one person to move the equipment around either inside or outside on a flat surface. The wheels also have independent brakes to help keep the dolly in place when the brakes are applied. If you have to break everything done the dolly folds up.
Note; Buying a new Celestron CPC 1100 StarBright XLT Telescope with the items that I replaced could cost about $5300+ if they have these items in stock. Price: $2,850 Best Regards, Tim
