Celestron's innovative new
EdgeHD telescopes are aplanatic Schmidt Cassegrain models designed to
produce aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic
field of view. Celestron EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than
three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. This
guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips
available today. Superior edge performance not only creates rounder,
more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting
magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. With
Celestron's High Definition optics you will be able to capture the
faintest of galaxies all the way to the corner of your full frame camera
chip. Coupled with Celestron's XLT coating group on every surface,
EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest
visual and photographic spectrum. The EdgeHD tube has been redesigned
with top-notch features to make sure you get the most from your optics
each and every night. Mirror locks hold the mirror in place and reduce
image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. Flexible rods
allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or
pressure on the mirror, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or
chip). Cooling tube vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be
released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 60
micron mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust
in.
