Schmidt-Cassegrain C8 EdgeHD 200 mm (8″)

Celestron C8 EdgeHD: The Swiss Army Knife of astronomy

Discover the universe with the Celestron C8 EdgeHD, an aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope designed to deliver sharp, aberration-free images, right down to the edges of the widest sensors and eyepieces. Ideal for visual observation and astrophotographic imaging, it combines optical innovation and versatility to meet the needs of amateur and professional astronomers alike.

Superior Optical Quality

• Aberration-free images : Corrects coma and field curvature for exceptional sharpness across the entire field of view.
• Ultra-flat focal plane: Three times flatter than a conventional Schmidt-Cassegrain, for sharp stars even with the largest CCD or CMOS sensors.
• Ideal for modern imaging: Optimizes the capture of every detail.

Optimized mechanical performance

• Mirror locking system : Holds the primary mirror in place to reduce movement during long exposures, ensuring a centered image.
• Integrated cooling vents : Vents at the rear of the tube for rapid dissipation of hot air, while a 50-micron mesh filter prevents dust ingress.
• Fastar compatibility : The telescope can be converted into an ultra-fast f/2 system by removing the secondary mirror and adding a third-party accessory.

Unrivalled optical versatility

• Native focal ratio of f/10 : Ideal for capturing the fine details of deep-sky objects.
• Adjustable focal length : Focal reducer, Barlow or Fastar options to adapt the field of view to your needs.

StarBright XLT technology

• Wide spectrum : Optimizes light transmission on all optical surfaces.
• Bright, high-contrast images: Capture more detail in faint objects and complex deep-sky structures.

Individual Test and Quality Guarantee

Every Celestron C8 EdgeHD undergoes rigorous quality control with artificial star and camera tests to ensure optimum performance in the field.

Accessories Included

• 9×50 Seeker: Find your celestial targets with ease.
• 1.25" diagonal mirror: for comfortable observation with eyepieces.
• Plössl 40 mm eyepiece: Ideal for beginners.

Versatile applications

• Visual observation : Enjoy unrivalled image quality for planets, the Moon and deep-sky objects.
• Advanced astrophotography : Capture breathtaking details of nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.
• Fast imaging with Fastar : Perfect for maximizing your time under the starry sky.

Conclusion

The Celestron C8 EdgeHD combines optical quality and flexibility to deliver outstanding performance for all your celestial explorations. Dive into the universe with an instrument designed to meet your highest expectations.
