Description

Celestron's innovative new EdgeHD telescopes are aplanatic Schmidt Cassegrain models intended to produce aberration-free pictures across a wide visual and photographic field of view. Celestron EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane extra than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today. Enhanced edge performance not only creates rounder, extra pleasing stars but actually advances the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. Together with Celestron's High Definition optics you will be effective to capture the faintest of galaxies all the way to the corner of your full frame camera chip. Coupled together with Celestron's XLT coating group on each surface, EdgeHD optics provides you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. The EdgeHD tube has been redesigned together with top-notch features to do sure you get the much from your optics every and each night. Mirror locks hold the mirror in situate and decrease picture shift when rotating the tube all-around the mount. Flexible rods agree to the mirror to be held in situate not including putting any force or pressure on the mirror, keeping the picture centered in the eyepiece (or chip). Cooling tube vents placed on the rear cell agree to hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Every vent has an included 60 micron mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out not including letting dust in.
