Celestron Smart Telescope S 152/335 Origin Intelligent Home Observatory

Celestron Origin seamlessly blends live sky observation with astrophotography through Electronically Aided Astronomy (EAA). This innovative system captures celestial beauty and wirelessly transmits high-quality images to devices like tablets, smartphones, or even TV screens, creating a user-friendly experience for astronomy enthusiasts.

Celestron Origin is a revolutionary telescope system built on Celestron's long-standing tradition and expertise. It transforms skywatching into an exciting, accessible, and immersive activity. By combining advanced optics with intelligent algorithms, the system processes multiple exposures in real time, producing vivid, high-detail astrophotos directly on your display.

Innovative Camera Technology
The Origin is built with RASA (Rowe-Ackermann-Schmidt-Astrograph) optics, a patented design placing the sensor at the telescope’s front. This f/2.2 system ensures fast, sharp images with a large field of view, outperforming other smart telescopes. Its Sony IMX178LQJ back-illuminated color sensor, with a resolution of 3096 × 2080 pixels (6.44 MP), captures vibrant and detailed celestial images across a field of view of 1.27° × 0.85°.

Efficient Electronics and Power
The onboard Raspberry Pi 4 Model B computer handles processing, while connectivity options include Ethernet, USB-A ports, and AUX ports for accessories. A LiFePO4 integrated battery offers over 6 hours of runtime, supported by dual cooling fans that maintain optimal performance.

Effortless Setup with StarSense Technology
StarSense technology automates the setup process, scanning the sky and aligning itself to stars within two minutes. Simply place the Origin under the stars, switch it on, and connect via the Celestron Origin app. The intuitive app interface features a planetarium mode for navigating the night sky and provides suggestions like the "Tonight’s Best" list, offering stunning celestial objects based on your location and time.

Real-Time Observation and Imaging
Once an object is selected, Origin centers it in the field of view. Start imaging with a single tap, and the system will begin compiling 10-second exposures. The live astrophotos grow increasingly detailed in real time, while dew protection and fan systems automatically adjust to maintain clarity.

Share the Experience
Origin allows multiple users to connect simultaneously, each viewing the images on their own device. Live feeds can also be transmitted to a smart TV, and astrophotos can be saved and shared instantly.

Advanced Features for Enthusiasts
The built-in filter drawer accepts 1.25" and 2" filters, ideal for observing nebulae in light-polluted areas. Raw image files are saved for advanced editing in external software. Scheduled observation capabilities let you capture celestial objects while you sleep, waking up to spectacular images.

Day and Night Versatility
Beyond astronomy, Origin can capture terrestrial objects by day or night. It can swivel manually for landscape photography during the day and function as a night vision camera in low-light conditions.

Celestron Origin delivers a unique combination of traditional telescope design and cutting-edge technology. Its advanced features, intuitive operation, and versatility make it a standout choice for beginners and experienced astronomers alike.
