Astrophotography

• Equatorial wedge for Celestron NexStar 6/8SE and Evolution Alt-Az mounted computerized telescopes
• Enables long exposure astrophotography and autoguiding by tilting the telescope’s azimuth into an equatorial platform allowing it to track an arc around the polar axis.
• For beginner to intermediate planetary and deep space imagers
• Captive hardware, tool-less operation, easily adjusts under load
• All new hefty yet portable design
• Sturdy latitude adjustment screw with easy to read scale and integrated Bubble level

• 8” (2032 mm) f/10 Edge HD  includes StarBright XLT coatings for better light transmission
• Edge HD optical design fully corrects for coma and field curvature, delivering a truly flat field
• Built-in tube vents with integrated 60 micron mesh filters allow hot air to be released behind the primary mirror
• The secondary mirror can be removed to allow the installation of Hyperstar and Fastar for fast F/2.8 imaging
• 9x50 optical finderscope for locating alignment stars
• Integer gear ratios and permanently programmable Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm gear.
• Autoguider port for long exposure imaging
• New motors offer improved tracking performance & provide more power to overcome load imbalances
• Updated industrial design offers more rigidity, less flexure and improved aesthetics
• New design allows viewing or imaging across the meridian without interference from the motors housings
• Improved latitude range.  Can be used between 7 – 77° latitude.
• NexStar+ hand control offers multiple language programming (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish)

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.

• Attaches directly to the rear cell of the larger Edge optical tubes
• Produces better illumination for today's larger full-frame imaging sensors, all the way to the corners
• Reduces vignetting–darkening around the edges of the image sensor–by providing unobstructed light to the camera

Getting your back-focus distance right is essential for sharp, well-corrected astrophotography and sometimes you need more than thin shims to bridge the gap. This M48 x 0.75mm aluminium alloy spacer ring provides 20mm of solid, threaded spacing to help you build out your imaging train with precision. Also available in various sizes to suit your specific setup requirements.
