Celestron Origin Mark II - All-in-one intelligent deep-sky observatory<\/h3>\n

\"Celestron<\/p>\n

Celestron Origin Mark II<\/strong> redefines observation and astrophotography by bringing together, in a single system,
\na RASA 6\u2033 high-speed telescope<\/strong>a Sony Starvis 2 color camera<\/strong>, a GoTo mount,
\nan on-board computer and a complete mobile application. The aim: to show you galaxies, nebulae and clusters<\/strong>
\nwith stunning simplicity, directly on your smartphone or tablet<\/strong>, in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n

Thanks to its f\/2.2<\/strong> and the\u2019real-time stacking\/processing<\/strong>, the images obtained often appear to be
\nricher and more detailed than what you'd see through the eyepiece of a much larger telescope under a darker sky.<\/p>\n

Why the Origin Mark II is different<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Patented RASA optics (Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph)<\/strong> sensor at the front of the tube for a system ultra-bright f\/2.2<\/strong> and a wide field of view, with stars sharp right to the edge.<\/li>\n
  • Aperture 152 mm<\/strong> + 335 mm focal length<\/strong> an ideal combo for \u201cwide-field\u201d deep skies (nebulae, galaxies, large complexes).<\/li>\n
  • 678C new-generation color camera<\/strong> : sensor Sony IMX678 Starvis 2<\/strong> backlit, more sensitive and more defined.<\/li>\n
  • AI-powered\u201c automatic astrophotography\u201d<\/strong> Origin stacks and processes each pose as a real time<\/strong> (without intervention), to gradually reveal the details.<\/li>\n
  • Express start-up with StarSense<\/strong> the instrument scans the sky, focuses and aligns itself autonomously - you're ready to image in less than 2 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Celestron Origin Application Powered by SkySafari\u2122<\/strong> (iOS \/ Android): intuitive planetarium, \u201cTonight's Best\u201d target selection, full control.<\/li>\n
  • Multi-user sharing<\/strong> The live stream can be watched by several people at the same time, casts on TV and shared instantly.<\/li>\n
  • Evolutionary<\/strong> : recovery of raw files<\/strong>, filter drawer 1.25\u2033 \/ 2\u2033<\/strong>, scheduled observations\u201c mode, and advanced options (wedge mode \/ optional autoguiding).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    An accessible astrophoto (and it's not generative AI)<\/h3>\n

    The on-board algorithms process your images as an experienced astrophotographer would: stacking, enhancing and optimizing them.
    \ndetails from your own data<\/strong>. Important: the \u201cAI\u201d treatment mentioned by Celestron
    \nis not generative AI<\/strong> (no artificial additions, no invented colorizations).
    \nYou can also manually adjust parameters (brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.).<\/p>\n

    \"Celestron<\/p>\n

    Ultra-simple workflow: outside, switch on, observe<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Put the Origin Mark II outside, turn it on, connect to the app.<\/li>\n
    2. StarSense scans the sky, aligns itself and focuses automatically.<\/li>\n
    3. Choose a target in the planetarium, launch poses (eg. 10 seconds<\/strong>), and watch the details unfold live.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Further information: filters, raw files, planning, wedge mode<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Integrated filter drawer<\/strong> compatible 1.25\u2033 and 2\u2033<\/strong> useful for light pollution (nebulae) or for experimentation.<\/li>\n
      • RAW recovery<\/strong> : via USB stick (ports on tube) or download via integrated WiFi, for manual processing.<\/li>\n
      • Scheduled observations<\/strong> : program captures during the night and retrieve your images when you wake up.<\/li>\n
      • Equatorial wedge mode<\/strong> (with NexStar Evolution-compatible wedge + optional StarSense Autoguider) :
        \nreduced field rotation, longer manual exposures, imaging near the zenith (darker).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Ground observation & night vision\u201c<\/h3>\n

        The Origin Mark II isn't just for the stars: you can also image terrestrial scenes during the day, and enjoy
        \nits high-speed optics and sensitive camera to see in very poor conditions at night (\u201cquasi night-vision\u201d effect).<\/p>\n

        What's included<\/h3>\n
