Those award-winning EdgeHD optics are mounted on a newly-upgraded Celestron CPC go-to mount with SkyAlign and GPS that makes finding over 40,000 of those stars and objects easy and automatic. You spend more time looking at celestial objects, rather than looking for them.

This model as the same basic operation as its EdgeHD counterpart.  Alignment is the same.  You can hook up the StarSense and SkyPortal.  It is the same basic weight.  What it doesn't do is photography as well as the EdgeHD.  It doesn't have the built in flattener its sibling has, but is still capable of very nice photography.
