Celestron 8” ROWE-ACKERMANN SCHMIDT ASTROGRAPH (RASA 8) Imaging Kit
$2,499.00- Flat field free of optical aberrations like field curvature, coma, astigmatism and chromatic aberration across an entire APS-C sensor.
- Unlike the larger RASAs that work with DSLR and large CCD cameras, the 8” model was designed with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras.
- NEW Ultra-Stable Focus System – six precision sealed ball bearings virtually eliminate image shift.
- Integrated air cooling system –12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal air flow while filtering out dust.
- Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
- CGE dovetail mounting rail.
- Performs over a wider spectral range than most telescopes, from 390-800 nm, so more of the light passing through the astrograph is in sharp focus.

Celestron .7x Reducer Lens for The EdgeHD 925
$429.00The EdgeHD .7x Focal Reducer Lens makes your EdgeHD 9.25" one full F-Stop faster than f/10, reducing your exposure time by half to capture the same brightness of object
4-element lens design
Maintains similar flat-field performance as native EdgeHD optical design
Increases field of view by 43% to better capture wide field images
Threads directly onto the 3.25" threads of the EdgeHD which reduces mechanical vignetting and allows for use with larger (full frame) sensors and Off-Axis Guiders
Maintains the identical back focus when used at f/10 and provides generous back focus to accommodate additional accessories and wide variety of cameras
Allows use of existing EdgeHD T-Adapters with or without the Reducer Lens -

Celestron LIGHT POLLUTION IMAGING FILTER, RASA 8
$289.00Enhance your 8” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) by blocking light pollution, improving image contrast, and darkening the sky background.
This filter selectively blocks wavelengths of light from sources of light pollution, such as streetlights, not broad regions of the spectrum.
Does not block wavelengths associated with emission nebulae, keeping your nebula images bright and detailed.
Fits into the 8” RASA’s integrated filter mount, maintaining peak optical performance.
Optically flat surfaces free of defects, constructed of Schott glass with anti-reflection coatings. -

Celestron Electronic Focus Motor For SCT and EdgeHD
$249.95The Celestron Focus Motor for SCT and EdgeHD enables electronic focusing using a computer or Celestron computerized mount hand controller for remote/hands-free observing.
Self-powering: When connected to a Celestron computerized mount, the mount provides the power. When connected directly to a computer, USB provides the power.
Compatible with a wide variety of Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, EdgeHD, and Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph optical tubes.
Motor controls include multiple speed rates, automatic GoTo indexed focuser position, and focuser backlash compensation.
Focuser Utility software for Windows provides a simple user interface. Also compatible with Celestron PWI.
Enables autofocusing with a camera and third-party software via ASCOM.
Indexed focus position allows the motor to automatically return to a previous focus position and prevents the focus motor from reaching the end of telescope’s mechanical focus travel.
