Celestron EdgeHD 800 SCT OTA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The unparalleled capabilities of the Celestron EdgeHD 800 SCT OTA, a stellar optical tube assembly designed for astrophotography enthusiasts. As part of the EdgeHD series by Celestron, this telescope boasts a 3x flatter focal plane compared to standard Schmidt-Cassegrains, ensuring pinpoint stars across the widest eyepieces and imaging sensors. The EdgeHD features a specialized aplanatic, flat-field Schmidt-Cassegrain design, delivering aberration-free images across an expansive visual and photographic field of view.<\/p>\n

True Astrograph Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many optics claiming to be “astrographs” only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. EdgeHD optics, however, offer a focal plane more than three times flatter than standard Schmidt-Cassegrains, providing visibly sharp stars even on the largest CCD chips.<\/p>\n

Improved Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Enhanced edge performance not only results in rounder, more pleasing stars but also boosts resolution and limiting magnitude compared to telescopes of similar aperture. With Celestron’s StarBright XLT optical coatings, EdgeHD optics maximize light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum.<\/p>\n
