Schmidt-Cassegrain C14 EdgeHD 360mm (14″)

Celestron C14 EdgeHD: Ultimate Excellence in Astrophotography and Observation

The Celestron C14 EdgeHD is the pinnacle of Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, offering unrivalled optical performance and advanced design. Designed to meet the needs of demanding amateur astronomers and professional astrophotographers, it guarantees sharp, aberration-free images, even with the largest sensors and eyepieces.

Outstanding Optical Quality

• Aberration correction : Eliminates coma and field curvature for perfectly punctual stars, even at the edges of digital sensors.
• Ultra-flat focal plane: Three times flatter than a conventional Schmidt-Cassegrain, ideal for imaging with the largest CCD or CMOS sensors.
• StarBright XLT treatment : Maximizes light transmission for bright, high-contrast images.

Exceptional versatility

• Native focal ratio f/11 : Perfect for capturing fine detail on deep-sky objects.
• Reduced to f/7 : Increase the field of view with an optional focal reducer.
• Fast imaging at f/2 with Fastar : Transform your telescope for ultra-fast, wide-field capture.

Advanced mechanical features

• Primary mirror lock : Reduces mirror movement for a stable image during long exposures.
• Integrated ventilation system : Vents at the rear of the tube evacuate hot air behind the primary mirror, while blocking dust with built-in 50-micron filters.
• Fastar compatibility : Allows you to remove the secondary mirror and add a third-party accessory for a fast focal ratio.

Superior performance

The C14 EdgeHD's cutting-edge optics enhance star sharpness, increase resolution and push back the magnitude limit compared with telescopes of equivalent size. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing (artificial star and camera) to guarantee exceptional image quality.

Accessories Included

• 9×50 finder: pinpoint your targets.
• Diagonal 2" mirror: For comfortable observation with wide-field eyepieces.
• Luminos 23 mm (2”) eyepiece: For a wide, immersive view.

Various applications

• Visual observation : Explore the planets, the Moon and deep-sky objects with incomparable clarity.
• Advanced astrophotography : Capture the details of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.
• Fast imaging with Fastar : Ideal for wide-field shooting and fast imaging sessions.

Conclusion

The Celestron C14 EdgeHD is designed for those seeking the ultimate in optical and mechanical performance. Treat yourself to a world-class observing and imaging experience and explore the universe like never before.
