Astrophotography Telescopes & OTAs

This short-tube refractor telescope has wide field views, thanks to its achromatic objective lens of 80mm and focal length of 400mm.

• Celestron’s iconic “orange tube” design is updated with all the latest features to provide the best stargazing experience for beginners and experienced observers alike.
• 4-inch aperture provides excellent light-gathering ability at an affordable price. You’ll get impressive views of the Moon and planets, along with deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula, while retaining a compact form factor.
• Fully automated GoTo mount with database of 40,000+ celestial objects automatically locates and tracks objects for you.
• SkyAlign technology gets your telescope aligned and ready to observe in minutes. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the night sky, you can easily align your telescope on any three bright objects.
• Unique single fork arm design and sturdy steel tripod all break down into separate components for easy transport and quick assembly.

You expect nothing less than crystal-clear images in your scope, but what are you going to do with the mount and tripod you already have? Mount it with the saxon 250DS Astrophotography Newtonian Telescope, that's what!

Combined with the aperture of 254mm and focal length of 1200mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector.

The 6” Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube offers 40% more light gathering ability than a 5” telescope. The Schmidt-Cassegrain design also eliminates chromatic aberration, making it a good choice for entry-level astroimaging.

NOTE: The recommended solar filters for this scope for solar observing are;

- the Orion 185 mm (7.17") Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 125081) or

- the Meade Glass White Light Solar Filter 172 - 180 mm (Product No. 125918).

• 5-inch aperture provides excellent light-gathering ability at an affordable price. You’ll get impressive views of the Moon and planets, along with deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula, while retaining a compact form factor.
• Fully automated GoTo mount with database of 40,000+ celestial objects automatically locates and tracks objects for you.
• SkyAlign technology gets your telescope aligned and ready to observe in minutes. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the night sky, you can easily align your telescope on any three bright objects.
• Unique single fork arm design and sturdy steel tripod all break down into separate components for easy transport and quick assembly.

NOTE:  For solar observing we recommend the Astrozap Glass Solar Filter (Product No. 124466) for use on this telescope.

You expect nothing less than crystal-clear images in your scope, but what are you going to do with the mount and tripod you already have? Mount it with the saxon 300DS Astrophotography Newtonian Telescope, that's what!

Combined with the aperture of 300mm and focal length of 1500mm, this scope is great for prime-focus photography. Higher quality images can be achieved with the optional coma corrector
