Celestron EdgeHD 14 OTA SCT Telescope

Discover the wonders of the universe with the Celestron EdgeHD 14″ Optical Tube Assembly (CGE Dovetail). This state-of-the-art optical tube is designed for serious astronomers and astrophotographers who demand the highest quality in their observations and imaging.

The EdgeHD 14″ features advanced Aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, providing aberration-free images across a wide field of view. With its impressive 14″ aperture, this optical tube captures more light, delivering detailed and high-contrast views of celestial objects, from planets to distant galaxies.

Equipped with StarBright XLT coatings, the EdgeHD 14″ ensures maximum light transmission, resulting in brighter and clearer images. The flat focal plane guarantees sharp stars across the entire field of view, making it perfect for astrophotography.

The optical tube includes mirror support knobs to reduce image shift during imaging, and cooling vents with integrated 50-mesh filters to release hot air, keeping the optics cool and stable. Its versatile design supports various focal ratios, including native f/11, f/7 with a focal reducer, and ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror.

For ease of use, the EdgeHD 14″ comes with a 9×50 finderscope for easy targeting of celestial objects, a 2” mirror diagonal for comfortable viewing, and a 23mm Luminos eyepiece for an enhanced viewing experience.

Built with durability in mind, the aluminum optical tube ensures longevity and consistent performance, making the Celestron EdgeHD 14″ Optical Tube Assembly the perfect choice for those who seek the best in optical performance and versatility.
