Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes offer impressive features despite their long focal length, presenting a compact design for easy transportation. The optical system begins with an aspherically figured Schmidt corrector plate that directs light onto a spherical main mirror. This mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror and then back to the main mirror, passing through a central aperture to reach the focuser at the OTA's bottom. 

The EdgeHD telescope represents Celestron's innovative take on the classic Schmidt-Cassegrain design, promising unparalleled clarity from center to periphery.

Featuring a long focal length yet housed in a remarkably compact OTA, these telescopes are easy to transport and set up. The optical path begins with light hitting an aspherically figured Schmidt corrector plate, then reflecting off a spherical main mirror. This light is redirected by a secondary mirror before passing through a central aperture in the main mirror and into the focuser, creating a closed system that avoids air turbulence and dust contamination.
