It's the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Founder's Vision, Re-imagined for the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentury\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn the 1970s, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world's premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe's Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 4SE's four-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 4SE to a dark-sky site and you'll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. if you're interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 4SE with one of our Skyris cameras. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-list-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ch4

It's the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Founder's Vision, Re-imagined for the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentury\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn the 1970s, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world's premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe's Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 5SE's five-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 5SE to a dark-sky site and you'll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to explore the world of astro imaging, the 5SE is a perfect choice. Its built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. You can even remove the telescope's secondary mirror and replace it with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera for wide field images captured at f\/2 using a Fastar\/HyperStar lens assembly. Or, if you're interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 5SE with one of our Skyris cameras. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-list-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ch4

It's the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Founder's Vision, Re-imagined for the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCentury\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn the 1970s, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world's premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe's Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 6SE's six-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Cassini's Division in Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 6SE to a dark-sky site and you'll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor planetary imaging, pair your NexStar 6SE with one of our Skyris cameras. Or, experiment with wide-field deep sky astro imaging by replacing the telescope's secondary mirror with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera with a Fastar\/HyperStar lens assembly. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-list-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cp

Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we've improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder's intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBig Mirror, Small Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith a full 8 inches of aperture, the 8SE reveals details in even the faintest celestial objects. With this much light-gathering ability, you'll clearly observe Cassini's Division in Saturn's rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and the Great Red Spot. Beyond the solar system, your 8SE will show you hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more. And don't forget the Moon-you'll see craters and geographic features like never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often.

What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it's what's inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN.

The design consists of a Schmidt corrector, primary mirror, lens group, and optical window. The lens group contains 4 elements and utilizes rare-earth elements. Unlike many telescopes that only perform well over the visible spectrum (400-700nm), the 8 RASA's optics are designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 390-800nm. This allows more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image. With many imaging systems, adding an extra piece of flat glass such as a filter does not change optical performance. However, that is not the case with super-fast optical systems like the RASA. Our engineers addressed this by designing the RASA with a removable optical window, so you can maintain peak optical performance if a filter is added or if a camera has its own optical window. Celestron offers a Light Pollution Imaging Filter designed specifically for the 8 RASA, which mounts in place of the optical window. All refractive optical surfaces are coated with StarBright XLT coatings, while the primary mirror uses enhanced aluminum coatings. This maintains high light transmission through the entire optical system. When compared with Hyperstar SCT systems, the RASA 8 provides better optical performance and field illumination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content js-accordion-content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eWhy can't the Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) 8 be used visually?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pdp-faq-expand visible\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"height: auto; visibility: visible;\" class=\"pdp-faq-a visible\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eA:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eThe optics produce an image at the front end of the telescope, not the back.

This can make critical focusing more challenging. The RASA 8 focuses by moving the primary mirror inward-and-outward. If the mirror moves at all laterally, then focus shift will result. The USFS works by using a precision linear ball bearing on the shaft that supports the primary mirror. This constrains any lateral motion of the primary mirror and minimizes focus shift. This also helps prevent any unwanted lateral motion of the primary mirror (also known as mirror flop) as the astrograph is pointed to different positions in the night sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-q\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eWhat is the extended spectral range (400-800 nm) and what is the benefit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"pdp-faq-expand\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pdp-faq-a\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"faq-label\"\u003eA:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pdp-text-wrap\"\u003eMost telescopes are designed to perform well over the visual spectrum (i.e 400-700nm). The RASA 8 optics were designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 400-800nm. This means that light from 700nm-800nm will be well focused in the RASA 8, allowing more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image.

For convenient mounting of a guide scope, Celestron offers a CGE dovetail accessory mounting bar which connects to the top of the RASA 8 and allows easy installation of guide scope rings.

Each eyepiece features a three-element design with a 56º apparent field of view (40mm has a 50º field of view). The optics are fully multi-coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 40mm E-lux eyepiece offers the lowest power option, for those times when you need all the light-gathering your telescope can offer to see faint deep-sky objects. The 26mm \u0026amp; 32mm focal lengths provide a bit more magnification.

Get the benefit of a 2\" barrel with the magnification normally reserved for 1.25\" eyepieces.

Extra padding has been added at the tube attachment edge to create a stronger fit on the optical tube. The felt-lined interior absorbs any additional stray light and excessive moisture, creating optimal contrast when viewing and imaging. The large dovetail cutout has been made both wider- to accommodate a 4 wide dovetail rails, as well as deeper, to create a more solid connection with the optical tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttaching the Dew Shield to your optical tube is easy thanks to the Velcro attachment points.

The technology in these batteries was originally developed to power much lower-voltage electronics, such as home CPAP machines. Although the voltage actually being delivered starts off at 12V, it diminishes rapidly, impacting your telescope's performance and becoming functionally useless within about 2-3 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron's telescope engineers worked hand-in-hand with battery suppliers on PowerTank Lithium LT to ensure that it does not experience this drop-off in performance.

The car battery port was designed to provide power for much heavier loads (up to 10 Amps). To accommodate this larger load, the threshold for the port was increased to 420mA. Some Celestron telescopes, even aligned and with the tracking motors on, may not draw 420mA of current. This could cause the battery to turn itself off.

The apochromatic, fully multi-coated optics offer great color correction and contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black anodized housing with orange highlights matches the eyepieces in the Celestron X-Cel LX line. A centralized rubber grip helps to keep your hands securely on the barrel, even when your fingers are cold or you are wearing gloves. A brass compression ring just inside the top of the X-Cel Barlow grabs your eyepiece gently but firmly when you turn the thumbscrew. Once the thumbscrew has been secured in place, the brass ring keeps your eyepiece in the Barlow instead of relying on the tip of the thumbscrew itself, offering a better and protecting the barrel from scratches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel of the Celestron X-Cel LX 3X Barlow is threaded to accept 1.25 filters, allowing you to change eyepieces without requiring you to remove and re-attach the filter from each eyepiece barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-open\" id=\"product-specs-list\"\u003e\n\n      \u003ctbody id=\"spec-block-1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnification\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3x\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptical Coatings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully Multi Coated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32722246467664,"sku":"93428","price":174.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0224\/6770\/6960\/products\/celestron-barlow-celestron-1-25-x-cel-lx-3x-barlow-lens-93428-15960111743056.jpg?v=1746814919"},{"product_id":"celestron-1-25-omni-2x-barlow-lens-93326","title":"Celestron 1.25\" Omni 2X Barlow Lens - 93326","description":"\u003ch4\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble the magnification of each eyepiece you own with the Omni 2X Barlow Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the eye relief of your eyepieces while getting 2X the power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlides into 1.25 focusers and diagonals and accepts 1.25 eyepieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully multi-coated optics with blackened edges for good light transmission and minimal reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Barlow lens is the astronomy accessory that keeps on giving! Insert it between your eyepiece and your telescope to get double the magnification instantly. Let's say you have two eyepieces in your accessory case, a 10mm and a 25mm. Add a Celestron Omni 2X Barlow Lens to the mix, and now you have four magnifications to choose from. Combining this lens with the 25mm provides double the magnification, or the equivalent of a 12.5mm eyepiece, while the 10mm gives you the power of a 5mm eyepiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEye relief is the distance your eye has to be from the first lens in the eyepiece in order to see the full field of view. When you use a Barlow lens with an eyepiece, you get double the magnification, but the eye relief is not affected. This is a good thing, because normally the shorter the focal length of the eyepiece, the less eye relief you have. In other words, a standard 10mm eyepiece, as a general rule, will have better eye relief than a 5mm eyepiece. Bonus! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Celestron Omni 2x Barlow comes in a sleek, silver package. The two-element optics are fully multi-coated, and the edges of the lenses are blackened to cut down on internal reflections.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about this beyond waiting for a clearer night to observe.

You'll need to wait at least an hour after sunset for StarSense Explorer to be able to \"see\" enough stars to find its position. If you can't see many stars with your eyes, it is not dark enough yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eThere may be a bright light source, like a streetlight, shining into the StarSense dock's mirror. To combat this, move to an area that is shielded from nearby lighting sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be something in the camera's field of view that is affecting the phone's ability to \"sense\" stars, such as power lines, trees, or the edge of a building. Try moving to an area with a clearer view of the night sky, without interference from anything on land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The Moon may be very bright in the night sky. The Moon's big, bright disc can blind StarSense Explorer so that it cannot locate objects near the Moon. To see if this is the problem, try selecting another object to view in a different part of the night sky. Also, keep in mind that any deep-sky objects will appear washed out when the Moon is bright in the night sky. The best nights to observe are when the Moon is in or near the New Moon phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The camera may not be properly centered over the StarSense dock. If it is not properly centered, the dock will block the camera's view, preventing StarSense Explorer from \"sensing\" enough stars. Fix this by exiting StarSense mode and pressing the StarSense icon button. Then press the StarSense icon again to re-enter StarSense mode. Select \"Needs Alignment\" from the pop-up window and go through the camera alignment process again. Use the X-Y knobs on the StarSense dock to precisely center the smartphone camera over the dock's mirror. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The smartphone's camera may be picking up getting stray reflections off the back of your phone. This can occur with smartphones or smartphone cases with reflective, shiny metallic, or mirrored backings. Stray light near the observing site reflects off the back of the phone, into the mirror, and then into the camera. If this occurs, try placing the phone in a non-reflective case and be sure there are no nearby light sources that can reflect off the back of the smartphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be dew on the StarSense dock's mirror. When the ambient outside temperature is close to the dew point for your location, dew may start to form on the mirror, preventing the smartphone's camera from seeing the sky. If this occurs, gently wipe the mirror surface with a clean tissue (without lotion!) or a soft cleaning cloth until the mirror is dry and free of dew. The reflective surface is on the underside of the mirror glass, so you cannot damage the reflective coatings from wiping or cleaning the mirror.

Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about this beyond waiting for a clearer night to observe. As general rule, if you can't see many stars with your eyes, then conditions will likely not permit the camera to \"see\" enough stars, either.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e It may not be dark enough out. You'll need to wait at least an hour after sunset for StarSense Explorer to be able to \"see\" enough stars to find its position. If you can't see many stars with your eyes, it is not dark enough yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003eThere may be a bright light source, like a streetlight, shining into the StarSense dock's mirror. To combat this, move to an area that is shielded from nearby lighting sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be something in the camera's field of view that is affecting the phone's ability to \"sense\" stars, such as power lines, trees, or the edge of a building. Try moving to an area with a clearer view of the night sky, without interference from anything on land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The Moon may be very bright in the night sky. The Moon's big, bright disc can blind StarSense Explorer so that it cannot locate objects near the Moon. To see if this is the problem, try selecting another object to view in a different part of the night sky. Also, keep in mind that any deep-sky objects will appear washed out when the Moon is bright in the night sky. The best nights to observe are when the Moon is in or near the New Moon phase.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The camera may not be properly centered over the StarSense dock. If it is not properly centered, the dock will block the camera's view, preventing StarSense Explorer from \"sensing\" enough stars. Fix this by exiting StarSense mode and pressing the StarSense icon button. Then press the StarSense icon again to re-enter StarSense mode. Select \"Needs Alignment\" from the pop-up window and go through the camera alignment process again. Use the X-Y knobs on the StarSense dock to precisely center the smartphone camera over the dock's mirror. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e The smartphone's camera may be picking up getting stray reflections off the back of your phone. This can occur with smartphones or smartphone cases with reflective, shiny metallic, or mirrored backings. Stray light near the observing site reflects off the back of the phone, into the mirror, and then into the camera. If this occurs, try placing the phone in a non-reflective case and be sure there are no nearby light sources that can reflect off the back of the smartphone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e There may be dew on the StarSense dock's mirror. When the ambient outside temperature is close to the dew point for your location, dew may start to form on the mirror, preventing the smartphone's camera from seeing the sky. If this occurs, gently wipe the mirror surface with a clean tissue (without lotion!) or a soft cleaning cloth until the mirror is dry and free of dew. The reflective surface is on the underside of the mirror glass, so you cannot damage the reflective coatings from wiping or cleaning the mirror.

images is easier than ever with Celestron's Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) V2, the perfect companion to today's top DSLR or astronomical CCD cameras. This fast, wide-field f\/2.2 system allows for shorter exposure times compared to traditional f\/10 astro imaging, without sacrificing resolution. Because shorter sub-exposure times are possible, your equatorial mount won't need to accurately track over extended periods. The short focal length also lessens equatorial tracking demands. In many cases, autoguiding will not be required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRASA 11 V2 builds on the legacy of Celestron's Schmidt Cameras, which allowed astrophotographers to produce images with much shorter exposure times on film in the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, with CCD sensor sizes as large as film or larger, the RASA 11 V2 offers a 43.3mm optimized image circle to capture pinpoint stars on the largest imaging chips.

At the heart of this system is a precision linear ball bearing. The bearing serves to minimize focus shift (unwanted lateral motion of the primary mirror during focusing which causes shifting of the image) and mirror flop (movement of the primary mirror when the telescope is pointing to different positions in the sky). The USFS is also compatible with the optional Celestron Focus Motor (#94155-A). The integrated 12V DC MagLev fan reduces cool-down time and provides optimal airflow through the dust filtered optical tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a complete astro imaging system, every component of the RASA 11 V2 is optimized for peak performance with DSLR and astronomical CCD cameras. Down to the thickness of the glass used in the included fully-multi-coated optical window or optional imaging filter, every component of the system has been taken into careful consideration to work together seamlessly. \u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDovetail CGE bars on the top of the optical tube provides a connection for use of optional accessories like a guide scope.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnique Optical Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRASA's optical design is patented (US 2016\/0299331 A1). The design consists of a Schmidt corrector, primary mirror, lens group, and optical window. The lens group contains 4 elements and utilizes rare-earth elements. Unlike many telescopes that only perform well over the visible spectrum (400-700nm), the 8 RASA's optics are designed to perform over a wider spectral range, from 390-800nm. This allows more of the light emitted from the astronomical object to be sharply focused in the image. With many imaging systems, adding an extra piece of flat glass such as a filter does not change optical performance. However, that is not the case with super-fast optical systems like the RASA. Our engineers addressed this by designing the RASA with a removable optical window, so you can maintain peak optical performance if a filter is added or if a camera has its own optical window. Celestron offers a Light Pollution Imaging Filter designed specifically for the 8 RASA, which mounts in place of the optical window. All refractive optical surfaces are coated with StarBright XLT coatings, while the primary mirror uses enhanced aluminum coatings. This maintains high light transmission through the entire optical system.

The camera automatically captures an image of the sky, which is processed internally to positively identify the stars in the image. Once a positive match is found, SkyProdigy determines the coordinates of the center of the captured image. The process is automatically repeated two more times so that the system has three known alignment points that can be used to make an accurate model of the night sky. From this information the user can select any celestial object in the hand controller's database, and SkyProdigy will automatically move itself to the correct position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*The SkyProdigy's internal camera does not have an external output allowing users to view or save the captured images.

go if you want the easiest way possible to locate an object and center it in your eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA red dot finder, unlike an optical finder, has 1x magnification, displays a super wide field of view, and keeps the sky right side up and left-to-right correct, matching what you see with your unaided eyes. An LED creates a red dot, superimposed on a viewing screen, so you simply point the StarPointer to the area or object you wish to observe, look through your eyepiece, and if properly aligned, the area in and around place you pointed the red dot will be centered in the field of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you like the idea of having some magnification, try installing both a red dot and optical finder on your telescope. Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescopes have multiple mounting bracket holes so you can get the best of both worlds. Just make sure to align both of them correctly, and you'll get the best use out of each of your finders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Align the StarPointer Finder scope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first time you use your finder, you need to align it. This one-time setup procedure should be done during the day. Take the telescope outside and find an easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight, car license plate, or tall tree. The object should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away. Move the telescope left and right or up and down so that it is roughly pointing at the object. Look through the telescope using your low power eyepiece and move the telescope until the object you chose lies in the center of the view. Once the object is centered in your eyepiece, turn on the red dot. With your head positioned about a foot behind the finder, look through the round lens of the finder and locate the red dot. Without moving the telescope, use the two adjustment knobs located on the side and underneath the finder. One controls the left-right motion of the dot. The other controls the up-down motion of the dot. Adjust both of these until the red dot appears over the same object you are observing in the eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour finder is now aligned and should not require realignment unless it is bumped or dropped. You can even take the finder off the telescope and reattach it while preserving alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table-open\" id=\"product-downloads-list\"\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"product-files-manuals\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eManuals:\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody class=\"product-files-manuals\"\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0224\/6770\/6960\/files\/51630_StarPointer_Finderscope_IM_5Languages.pdf?v=1765166480\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eStarPointer Finder scope Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"product-files-software\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eSoftware \u0026amp; Firmware:\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody class=\"product-files-software\"\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003cthead class=\"product-files-other\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eOther Product Files:\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody class=\"product-files-other\"\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32808652996688,"sku":"51630","price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0224\/6770\/6960\/products\/celestron-finder-scope-celestron-starpointer-finderscope-51630-16234003202128.jpg?v=1746814880"},{"product_id":"celestron-114-lcm-newtonian-computerized-telescope-31150","title":"Celestron 114 LCM Newtonian Computerized Telescope - 31150","description":"\u003ch4\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputerized telescope automatically locates thousands of celestial objects using the NexStar+ hand control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the simple SkyAlign alignment procedure and you're ready to observe in minutes!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 114mm Newtonian reflector offers the most light-gathering ability in the LCM telescope family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot sure what to observe?
