Telescopes

What does it take to make sure you get the right telescope - the telescope that best fits your needs and your budget? It takes a telescope dealer with practical hands-on telescope experience. At Astronomics, we have that experience - a staff total of over 160 years of experience using and selling telescopes. We've helped hundreds of thousands of people pick the right telescopes or accessories since 1979. And since we're a family business, we plan on being around for the next 30 years . . . and longer.

If you have questions that the Astronomics website can't answer, contact us. We'll talk to you about what you want to do with your scope, where you're going to use it, how you're going to use it - before we talk about price. Then we'll recommend the telescopes or accessories that we honestly feel best fits your needs from among the thousands of products we keep in stock at Astronomics.

Celestron CGEM II 800 RASA 8" Telescope

$3,799.00
- 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.
- Internal filter mount – seamlessly accommodates a Light Pollution Imaging Filter into the optical path.
- 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.
- The CGEM II, with its 40 lbs load capacity, is the latest update to the venerable CGEM mount and provides a sturdy and rigid platform for the fully-loaded RASA 8.
- The drive system, consisting of low cog DC Servo motors with integrated optical encoders, steel worm gears supported by precision sealed bearings, and brass worm wheels, ensures smooth and accurate slewing and tracking.
- Proven NexStar+ computerized telescope control technology supports functions to address imagers’ needs, such as All-Star Polar Alignment, Permanent Periodic Error Correction (PPEC), and adjustable tracking through meridian.
