It was made famous by a photograph captured from the Hubble Space Telescope taken on April 1, 1995. Fast forward to the year 2018, and now it was finally time to try my hand at capturing it with my Explore Scientific ED 127 telescope. My goal was to capture the entire Eagle Nebula so I used a reducer which dropped the focal down from 952 to 761 - so it actually took me farther away from the Pillars, but still close enough to see their detail. I was extremely happy with how the picture turned out and to this day, it's still one of my favorite captures. The Explore Scientific ED 127 has worked out so well for me, that it's the reason I run two rigs. I simply refuse to ever remove it from my mount, so that if I ever want to try new equipment, it has to be on my second rig.\" - \u003c\/em\u003eChuck Ayoub\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/6029\/files\/chuck_ayoub_240x240.jpg?v=1581357880\" alt=\"Chuck Ayoub with his Explore Scientific ED127 Essential Series Rig for Astrophotography\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChuck Ayoub's astrophotography has been honored with three NASA Astronomy Pictures of the Day.

Weighing in at just 17 pounds, it's easy to transport your 8 RASA to the most remote dark sky locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRASA Performance Made for Everyone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8 RASA is an imaging telescope that delivers a flat field without optical aberrations for razor sharp stars across a wide field of view. It can capture stunning deep-sky astronomical images without the challenges typically presented by longer focal length instruments at a fraction of the cost of those systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe latest addition to the RASA family, this 8 version is a much more portable and affordable version of the heralded RASA 11, which was introduced to much acclaim in 2014. With the 8 RASA joining the lineup, a wider range of astroimagers can enjoy the benefits of the RASA design. It has many of the same thoughtfully designed features as its big brother RASA 11, including the integrated air-cooling system, internal filter mount, and sturdy CGE dovetail mounting bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurely designed for imaging, the 8 RASA cannot be used visually.

When combined with sensitive cameras and the proper live stacking software, the 8 RASA can provide an almost real-time observing experience. View images on a computer instantly that are brighter and more detailed than can be seen in much bigger telescopes with the naked eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause shorter exposure times are possible, your equatorial mount won't need to accurately track over extended periods. The 8 RASA's relatively short 400mm focal length also lessens equatorial tracking demands. In many cases, autoguiding will not be required. Weighing only 17 lb, this optical tube pairs perfectly with a wide variety of mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Stable Focus System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the launch of the 8 RASA, Celestron is unveiled a focuser design that mitigates lateral movement of the primary mirror when focusing, slewing, or tracking with the astrograph. Focusing is easier, more accurate, and more stable than ever.

The telescope does not work with standard DSLR cameras. It is optimized for sensors with up to a 22mm diagonal, but performs well with sensors up to 32mm diagonal. The APS-C sized sensors used in many mirrorless cameras are a good choice. 42mm full frame sensors will also work, but performance will be poor at the edges of the sensor and field illumination will be reduced. Additionally, we do not recommend pairing RASA 8 with any camera body more than 4 in diameter.

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 cameras which have spectral response in the 700-800nm range, you'll get brighter and sharper images and won't necessarily need to use an IR-cut filter.\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 else might be needed with the RASA 8?\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\"\u003eA finder scope can be useful for visually finding objects or for initial alignment of your computerized mount with the night sky. The RASA 8 has mounting holes for a finder scope. If doing longer exposures, you may want to consider using a guide scope and autoguider in order to provide the best tracking performance with your mount. 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. Perhaps the most useful accessory is a focus motor, this permits focusing from the computer which is controlling the camera and\/or mount.

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.

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 CGX-L 11 RASA telescope is an excellent advanced-level imaging setup. The Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) produces images in a fraction of the time compared to other optical tubes.  The CGX-L mount is designed to provide superior performance for larger telescopes while taking advantage of Celestron's most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, Starry Night Special Edition software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're an experienced imager, you'll love taking this mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapturing impressive deep-sky astroimages 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. Optical performance for huge sensors with diagonals of up to 52mm wide is still excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombine this large image circle with a focal length of just 620mm and you have an instrument suitable for wide-field imaging, creating huge mosaics of the night sky, surveying, and even comet hunting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptical Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe RASA 11 V2 features optics with 4-element rare-earth glass for images free of false color and aberrations like coma and field curvature. The optical quality and spot size across the entire image circle are unprecedented for an astrograph in this price range-or even that of a much more expensive instrument. The design also provides minimal vignetting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eRASA 11 V2 utilizes the new Ultra-Stable Focus System (USFS). 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 CGX 11 RASA telescope is an excellent advanced-level imaging setup. The Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) produces images in a fraction of the time compared to other optical tubes. The CGX mount provides superior performance for larger telescopes while taking advantage of Celestron's most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, Starry Night Special Edition software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're an experienced imager, you'll love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapturing impressive deep-sky astroimages 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 cooldown 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.

Instead of a secondary mirror, the Mak features a secondary spot of reflective coating applied directly to the inside of the corrector plate. Because of this, the telescope does not require frequent collimation like a Schmidt-Cassegrain. Also, the secondary spot is significantly smaller than a traditional Schmidt-Cassegrain secondary mirror, giving the Mak its signature high-contrast views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important thing to note about Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes is that the larger, heavier Maksutov corrector plate takes longer to cool down and adjust to ambient air temperature compared to a Schmidt-Cassegrain of the same aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced VX \u0026amp; Tripod\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced VX mount is designed to provide superior performance for smaller telescopes while taking advantage of Celestron's most advanced technologies: All-Star Polar Alignment, Celestron PWI telescope control software, SkyAlign, and permanently programmable periodic error correction (PPEC).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're an experienced imager, you'll love taking this portable mount to a dark sky site and enjoying all the conveniences of a larger observatory mount.

astrograph-Z4. It has an aperture of 100mm and the focal ratio is f\/5.5. Z4 is a sextuplet astrograph with three pieces of lens at the front and three pieces at the back, and two of them are ED glasses. Just like other series of Sharpstar astrographs, Z4 is designed as self-flattened so there is no need to calculate the back focus. You can just make the target stay at the focus, and the optical system is perfect for imaging.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe appearance of Z4 breaks through the previous style of Sharpstar with its matte gray coating. Light gray lens tube plus dark gray focuser and tube ring, make the astrograph looks calm but vibrant. The tube ring has a handle on the top which is easy to carry and assemble. The handle is designed as a slot on which you can mount a finder base, etc. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eZ4 uses a large 3.4\" focuser with a 1:10 fine adjustment knob and a 360° rotator for easy focusing and angle adjustment.
