CPC800 Edge - Video Overview.

[Chris]

Hi Guys, Whilst I've still got the chance! I've put together an overview of my Celestron CPC800 Edge HD. I bought it from FLO less than a year ago, and despite needing to be sent back and adjusted initially, I've been really impressed with it. Especially the optics and rock solid mount.

How is the volume? I might need to re-upload it with the volume boosted? It might just be my laptop, so if someone could let me know please

Sounds fine ... nice scope !

You almost seemed to be talking yourself into keeping it at one point  

Nice scope. I was going to sell my 10” Meade as I didn’t get along with it for a good while after getting up but glad I didn’t. As you say a nice large aperture and long FL in something remarkably compact.

lol ah mate,  I'm nearly talking myself into keeping it on a daily basis, danny.

As you can tell I think the scope is absolutely great! Having said that, I can't really make very good use of it when stored on the first floor of my house. The few times I've carried it all down stairs and setup I can only see about a third of the objects I try and slew to with my very obstructed small garden, and it takes a while to cool.

I finally get clearance to move to a house with a larger un obstructed garden so I can build that much needed obsy for it, but then the cost of moving looms! Yup, a lot of my things are going to go to pay for estate agents, solicitors, stamp duty, removal vans etc etc. 

It will all be worth it in the end when I have an obsy back with a very large SCT already close to cooled ?
