SEE THE UNIVERSE IN HD!Introducing Celestron’s New Aplanatic Schmidt Telescope Design!Visibly Sharper ImagesSuperior PerformanceEnhanced Mechanical FeaturesFastar CompatibleEdgeHD is an aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma, but also to give an astrograph quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view.True Astrograph Quality Many optical designs that advertise themselves as “astrograph” quality actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with a flat chip sensor of a digital camera. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma-free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.Improved Performance Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. Starbright XLT Coatings coupled with Celestron’s StarBright XLT coating group on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.Mechanical Features In addition to Celestrons new optimized optical design, the EdgeHD tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night.Mirror Clutches – Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. The flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or chip).Tube Vents – Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 60 micron micro-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in.Fastar Versatility – The EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging scope available today. At its native f/10 you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. With the optional reducer lens (coming soon) you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A barlow gives you the added power for high resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. And of course all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar compatible for ultra fast f/2 wide field imaging. Each tube has been fitted with a removable secondary mirror and are opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure they are axially symmetric in any configuration.Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assemblies (OTA) are available individually for use with your favorite mount. Each OTA is made to the same exacting standards as those used on all our high quality telescopes. All optical surfaces are coated with Celestrons high efficiency StarBright multi-layered coating group. These tube assemblies are equipped with the same dovetail mounting bar used on the CGE and Advanced Series for easy attachment to a variety of popular mounts.GENERAL FEATURES:14″ EdgeHD Optical Tube AssemblyAluminum Optical TubeCelestron’s premium StarBright XLT coatings3910mm focal length (f/11)23mm Axiom – 2″9×50 finderscope to help accurately find objects2″ diagonal provides more comfortable viewing position when observing objects that are high in the skyMirror Support Knobs hold the mirror in place and reduces image shift during imaging.Tube vents with integrated 60 micron mesh filter allowing hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror.Fastar Compatible optical tubes are equipped with a removable secondary mirror for fast f/2 ccd imagingIncludes dovetail rail compatible with CGE mountSPECIFICATIONS:OPTICAL DESIGN : Aplanatic Schmidt APERTURE : 355.6 mm (14 in) FOCAL LENGTH : 3910 mm (153.94 in) FOCAL RATIO : 11 FINDERSCOPE : 9×50 OPTICAL TUBE : Aluminum EYEPIECE 1 : 23 mm (0.91 in) MAGNIFICATION 1 : 170 x STAR DIAGONAL : 2″ w/1.25″ adapter OPTICAL COATINGS : StarBright / XLT SECONDARY MIRROR OBSTRUCTION : 4.5 in (114.3 mm) OPTICAL TUBE LENGTH : 31 in (787.4 mm) OPTICAL TUBE WEIGHT : 46 lb (20.87 kg) DOVETAIL COMPATIBILITY : CGE MountThank you for looking at our listing.
