Large Telescopes >6" to 12"

Celestron's EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view.

• EQ6-R Equatorial Go-To Mount
• Belt driven transmission for limiting the backlash
• Adjustable steel tripod with an accessory tray
• Illuminated polar scope included for precise polar alignment
• Bubble level for perfect levelling
• Aluminium setting circle dials allow for quick target acquisition via celestial coordinates
• Worm gear tracking controls provides a full 360° manipulation of the RA and DEC axis
• V and D style telescope connection
• Freedom Find™ encoders
• Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC)

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.

• 10” (254 mm) f/5 optical design gives excellent wide field views
• Parabolic primary mirror minimizes spherical aberration to produce a better image
• Belt driven transmission for limiting the backlash
• Adjustable steel tripod with an accessory tray
• Illuminated polar scope included for precise polar alignment
• Bubble level for perfect levelling
• Aluminium setting circle dials allow for quick target acquisition via celestial coordinates
• Worm gear tracking controls provides a full 360° manipulation of the RA and DEC axis
• V and D style telescope connection
• Freedom Find™ encoders
• Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC)

NOTE: This EQ6-R mount comes with two 5.1 kg counterweights as standard.

With this optical tube installed the mount will require an addtional 5.1 kg counterweight to balance this set up if the counterweight extension bar in the kit is not used.
