Celestron C8 OPTICAL TUBE ASSEMBLY (CGE DOVETAIL)

Embark on a celestial journey with the Celestron C8-A Optical Tube Assembly, a marvel of astronomical engineering. Born from the legacy of the groundbreaking 1970 C8, this telescope is a testament to innovation and quality. Its compact, rugged aluminum body, weighing just 13 pounds and measuring 17 inches, belies its powerful capabilities. With a 2032mm focal length and an f/10 ratio, it offers stunning views of the cosmos. The C8-A is adorned with Celestron’s patented StarBright® XLT optical coatings, dramatically enhancing image clarity and brightness, making even the faintest galaxies and nebulae come alive.

Experience a new era in astrophotography with Fastar Technology, a collaboration with SBIG from 1997. This addition allows for breathtakingly quick exposures, capturing the universe’s wonders in mere moments. The C8-A’s versatility is further expanded with a CGEM style dovetail bar, making it compatible with a variety of mounts.

Celestron’s StarBright XLT coatings represent a pinnacle in optical technology. Combining unique mirror coatings, anti-reflective layers, and high-transmission water white glass, this system delivers unparalleled light transmission and image clarity.

This Celestron C8-A is not just a telescope; it’s a gateway to the stars, offering the perfect balance of portability, power, and price for both beginners and seasoned astronomers.
