1 Introducing Celestron s EdgeHD Optical System
2 See the Universe in HD EdgeHD is an Aplanatic Schmidt telescope designed to produce aberration free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view _cge_pro_1400HD.jpg The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off axis coma, but also to give an astrograph quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. M81 and M82 Photographed By: Andre Paquette
3 EdgeHD Features
4 True Astrograph Quality Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrograph" quality actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with a flat sensor of a digital camera. A curved focal plane does not perfectly coincide with a flat CCD chip and therefore will appear out of focus at the edges. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three times flatter than a standard Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than other competing coma free designs. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.
5 How Flat is Flat? Curvature of Field for 14" EdgeHD (using 42mm chip) 200 microns Diffraction Limited Depth of Focus for 14" EdgeHD 300 microns
6 Astrograph quality flat field. Celestron EdgeHD focused on axis, focuses sharply across the entire FOV
7 Competing Coma Free Schmidt design focused on axis, shows sharp stars in the center of the image, but dramatically out of focus stars (donuts) at the edges. This indicates a strongly curved focal plane
8 Improved Resolution Superior edge performance not only creates rounder, more pleasing stars but actually improves the resolution and limiting magnitude when compared to telescopes of equal aperture. Celestron's High Definition optics let you resolve smaller spot sizes all the way to outer edge, revealing finer detail and greater contrast.
9 Brighter Images EdgeHD optics give you smaller (more concentrated) stars that create brighter images and allow you to see down to a fainter magnitude than other equally sized telescopes. Poor edge quality can spread out starlight so much that the brightness of a star appears the same as the sky background, making it undetectable to your eye (or camera). With EdgeHD optics you will be able to capture the faintest of galaxies all the way to the corner of your full frame camera chip.

22 Mechanical Features Mirror Support Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. Tube Vents Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent has an integrated 60 micron micro mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in. Fastar Versatility All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar compatible for imaging down to f/2 with optional accessories. Easy Collimation With precision machined mechanics and a spherical secondary mirror, EdgeHD optics can be collimated accurately and easily to guarantee that they perform to their potential every time you use them.
