Just having some fun here, but I am predicting that the product is called CPC.
What does it stand for? Celstron PC? Cooler for Pina Coladas? I don't know... you tell me.

Any idea how the new "alignment" system works? It says just pick three bright stars and the system does everything else. That was harder than before, when you only needed two. Unless you don't actually have to align to the selected stars...

You know guys I was reading the product description again and i noticed there is no mention of the wedge align utility. Is it possible celestron no longer supports wedge align on their new models? That would be a major drawback to this new line.

hi,

$ 2599 for a 11" computerized system, that's a great price. 7 years ago that's less then what a Meade LX200 8" cost ($2795).

clear skies,
