My new CPC1100

Hi All

Some piccys of my new CPC1100

For anyone thinking about getting one of these i have included myself in some of the pics to give you an idea of size

For their size they really are quite easy to set up

Cracking scope Kevin, I have the younger brother the cpc800gps, that is heavy enough for me.

"............For their size they really are quite easy to set up"

aye but TBF you're not exactly a little fella by the looks of you Kevin !

I don't find my C11 too hard either -not sure what all the fuss is about

What a cracking scope, the views will not your socks off, maybe try some video as well through it.

Oooohhh......!

Looking good.

tidy kev. what more can i say

Great looking set up and I'm sure it provides terrific views too. Of course one of the advantages of the "fastar" facility is that it must help reduce the cool down times by quite a bit I would have thought, did you notice a big difference?

Thanks for posting the pics Kev, I shall now have to change my shirt due to my constant dribbling!

Clear skies

It is not something that i have noticed myself James as i have always kept my scopes in a unheated garage so cool down has never been much of an issue really so i don't know if fastar helps the process really

Sorry about the shirt

I don't think you would regret it taffy 2 but i take it from some of your other posts you wanted to do some DSO imaging which due to the mount are not really suitable but they are a nice solid visual platform and of course great for webcam planetary/lunar stuff

Nice scope kev, I have the 925 so know what you will be able to see using the 11".....plenty!

I am looking forward to picking up a Celestron C8 in the very near future.

Beautiful looking scope Kevin - just when I thought a 12" Dob was what I needed...

[brantuk]

If I had an obsy pier then I'd go for the 1100 - but requiring portability I settled for the 925 (previously owned the 800). Teriffic range of scopes and you have the nicest one of the lot - just wish I had your muscles lol

[kirkster501]

I was thinking of getting the 925 but I am starting to think of the 1100 instead. I am a big strong lad and you only live once. The 1100 is only a few hundred quid more and I don't want to end up regretting not getting the extra aperture. Then again, 925 is still a biggie...

Thing is in my situation I can use it from the back garden but to get some proper dark sky I need to move to the back of where I live 400m away - so i'd need to build a box and a trolley of some sort as well

Questions, questions.....!!!!

[nightfisher]

very nice scope, looks like you are in for some serious cloud to go with the large new aperture

best of luck with it, look forward to seeing some great lunar shots

[red dwalf]

very nice instrument, you should be very proud of it, i have spoken to people that have owned both the 925 and 11 inch sct`s and they have said that the differance between the two is very small, not having had on myself i can`t comment on it anymore apart from imaging purposes the 925 is supposed to be the best all rounder.

[brantuk]

I wouldn't want to be carrying any of them 400yds - I'd be on my knees after 20 steps lol

[red dwalf]

your not over the hill yet Kim L.O.L.

[Damo636]

Beautiful scope Kevin.

[saturn10]

Loverly scope.

[Anweniel]

/jealous!

[mike.brightmore]

I just wish that the corrector plate on mine still looked like yours. Great scope though. Enjoy.

[ScubaMike]

It's not small is it?

It is not just being able to handle the size/weight, its being able to handle it easily. You don't want to be struggling with such an expensive piece of kit.

Looks the business though
