Description
Introducing the Celestron EdgeHD Telescope: Precision Corrected Imaging for Ultimate Clarity!
The EdgeHD series represents Celestron's breakthrough in the world of telescopes, offering an aplanatic Schmidt Cassegrain optical system that redefines traditional telescope performance. With over 50 years of expertise, Celestron has reimagined the classic Schmidt Cassegrain design to deliver unparalleled clarity and precision.
EdgeHD telescopes, aptly named for their "Edge High Definition" optics, are true astrographs, providing distortion-free, razor-sharp images extending all the way to the edges of the visual field. Unlike conventional "coma-free" lens designs that only correct for coma aberrations, EdgeHD optics also tackle field curvature, ensuring consistently sharp and clear images across the entire field of view.
Many telescopes are marketed as "astrographs," boasting pin-sharp star images but often exhibiting curved image planes. This curvature results in larger stars and aberrations towards the edge of the image, known as "doughnuts." However, Celestron's EdgeHD telescopes correct not only coma but also field curvature, delivering exceptional resolution and minimizing aberrations for superior performance compared to other optical systems.
The XLT multi-coating further enhances the performance of EdgeHD scopes, surpassing similar systems available on the market.
The mechanics and design of EdgeHD telescopes have been meticulously engineered:
- Mirror clamps securely hold the primary mirror in place without exerting pressure on the optical elements, ensuring stability even during prolonged exposure times.
- Air vents behind the primary mirror facilitate rapid cooling, while an integrated air filter system prevents dust ingress.
- The Celestron CPC mount provides a robust foundation, featuring a sturdy cast aluminum fork mount. Although the telescope tube is non-interchangeable, its compact size, minimal need for counterweights, and ease of transport make it an ideal choice for astronomers on the move.
SkyAlign technology simplifies the alignment process, utilizing a 16-channel GPS receiver to swiftly initialize the telescope's position. By aligning with three bright celestial objects, users can effortlessly calibrate their telescope for precise tracking. The All-Star Polar Alignment feature, available with the optional equatorial wedge, further enhances alignment accuracy without the need for a polar scope or Polaris sighting.
The CPC mount boasts numerous features:
- Quiet operation with large gears and quick-lock couplings.
- Autoguider and PC connectivity.
- Intuitive remote control interface with a database of over 40,000 celestial objects.
- Upgradable firmware via internet connectivity.
- Easy-to-use manual operation knobs for precise adjustments.
- Quick-release finderscope mount with x-y alignment.
Constructed from stainless steel and cast aluminum, the CPC tripod ensures stability and durability, making it suitable for a variety of observing conditions.
