- Stargazing and Astroimaging Redefined: Celestron Origin is an intelligent, all-in-one home observatory that captures stunning views of faint, deep-sky celestial objects and delivers them to your phone or tablet. The images you capture in seconds look better than what you’d see in the eyepiece of a much larger telescope under much darker skies.
- Revolutionary RASA Optical Technology: Origin’s patented 6” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) optical design places it in a class by itself. With its large aperture and fast f/2.2 focal ratio, you get unparalleled image brightness and clarity with less exposure time.
- Automatic, AI-powered Astrophotography:As Origin captures data, built-in AI algorithms autonomously stack and process every frame in real-time. Galaxies and nebulae instantly come to life—sharp, detailed, and in brilliant color—all with no user intervention.
- Automated Setup with StarSense: To get started, place Origin outside, turn it on, and connect to the app. Using Celestron’s patented StarSense technology, Origin scans the sky and autonomously focuses and aligns itself. You’re ready to select a target and start imaging in less than two minutes.
- Intuitive App Interface: The user-friendly Celestron Origin Powered by SkySafari™ app for iOS and Android, developed in partnership with Simulation Curriculum offers a simple yet powerful planetarium interface, making it easy to navigate the sky and control the system.
- Share the View with Everyone: Multiple users can use the Origin app to view the telescope’s live feed simultaneously. You can also cast the view to your smart TV or save and share it instantly.
- Advanced Features: As you grow in the hobby, download the raw image files you capture for more advanced manual processing. You can also experiment with filters and use Origin for night-vision or land-based observing during the day.

- Get the Most Out of Your Origin: Enhance your Celestron Origin’s views and images of nebulae—especially from urban and suburban skies. This filter blocks light pollution, boosts image contrast, and darkens the sky background for noticeably better images.
- Nebulae Come to Life: This filter transmits only the key Hα-Hβ-OIII wavelengths from emission nebulae, making their colors “pop” from the dark background.
- Conquers Light Pollution: With this filter, you allow the “good” wavelengths of light from nebulae through but block the “bad” light pollution from reaching Origin’s sensor.
- Built for Origin’s RASA Optics: Unlike similar filters with narrower bandpasses, this filter was engineered specifically to work with Origin’s fast f/2.2 optics to allow more of the light you want while suppressing the light you don’t.
- Easy Installation: Simply remove the optical window from Origin’s filter drawer and insert the Nebula Filter. It won’t disrupt the optical path of your Origin, and no additional adapters are needed.
- Quality Construction: Constructed of Schott glass with anti-reflective coatings, this filter’s surfaces are optically flat and free from defects.
