PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Celestron EdgeHD 8" OTA with CGE Dovetail Plate is a precision-engineered optical system designed for serious astronomers and deep-sky imagers. Combining flat-field clarity with mechanical stability, this OTA is built to elevate both visual observation and astrophotography.

  • Ideal for intermediate to advanced astronomers who want pinpoint stars and professional-quality imaging
  • 8-inch aperture and 2032 mm focal length deliver high magnification with excellent contrast
  • EdgeHD optics ensure coma-free, aberration-free views with sharp focus across the entire field
  • StarBright XLT coatings allow maximum light transmission across visual and photographic wavelengths
  • Compatible with Fastar for optional f/2 wide-field imaging capability
  • Cooling vents with micromesh filters stabilize temperature and reduce image distortion
  • Mirror clutches reduce image shift, ensuring stability during long exposure sessions
  • Each OTA is tested with artificial stars and cameras to guarantee optical performance
  • Comes pre-installed with CGE dovetail plate for direct mounting on compatible setups

This OTA is designed for users who require flat, high-resolution imaging on large sensors, and is suitable for setups that include advanced equatorial mounts, auto-guiders, and dedicated astro cameras. It performs equally well in deep-sky visual exploration, delivering crisp detail across the field of view, night after night.
