Experience our best optical performance with EdgeHD’s aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain optics for pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of today’s largest imaging sensors and widest eyepieces
The aluminum optical tube is fitted with tube vents which features an integrated 95-micron mesh filter that allows hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Mirror support knobs hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift during imaging
Versatile design accommodates 2 focal ratios: native f/10 or ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror and third-party accessories
Celestron’s premium StarBright XLT coatings provide maximum light transmission
A 9x50 finderscope, 2” mirror diagonal for more comfortable viewing, and wide-angle 23 mm Luminos 2" eyepiece are all included.
For customers wishing to fit solar filters, the outside OTA diameter is 272 mm.
NOTE: For solar viewing the Astrozap Glass Solar filter (Product No. 124446) is recommended.

- Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
- Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
- NEW Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift.
- Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust.
- Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
- CGE dovetail mounting rail.
- Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 390-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.

- The EdgeHD .7x Focal Reducer Lens makes your EdgeHD 1400 one full F-Stop faster than f/11, reducing your exposure time by half to capture the same brightness of object
- 5-element lens design
- Maintains similar flat-field performance as native EdgeHD optical design
- Increases field of view by 43% to better capture wide field images
- Threads directly onto the 3.25" threads of the EdgeHD which reduces mechanical vignetting and allows for use with larger (full frame) sensors and Off-Axis Guiders
- Maintains the identical back focus when used at f/11 and provides generous back focus to accommodate additional accessories and wide variety of cameras
- Allows use of existing EdgeHD T-Adapters with or without the Reducer Lens
