Manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth offer greater flexibility to manually point the telescope when powered off. During setup, leg etchings help you achieve a level, uniform height for your telescope. The all-metal tripod features a metal accessory tray with indentations for storing and carrying the tripod. Setting up your NexStar Evolution is quick and painless with large, ergonomic handles. An intelligent power management system senses when battery levels are low and goes into power-saving mode to keep your telescope running for as long as possible. You can even use NexStar Evolution’s USB charge port to top off the other devices in your life that need to stay powered on during an observing session. With this ultra-long life lithium-iron phosphate battery, you’ll be able to enjoy stargazing marathons up to 10 hours on a single charge. For the first time ever on a consumer telescope, NexStar Evolution includes its own built-in battery. It offers many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you the best possible experience out under the stars.įorget about batteries or an external power supply. Our proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure is built right into the Celestron mobile app, so you’re ready to observe within minutes.Ĭelestron engineers designed NexStar Evolution based on years of customer feedback. Use the planetarium interface to view the night sky in real time or display a list of celestial objects currently visible based on your time and location. Connect your device to NexStar Evolution’s built-in wireless network, and explore the universe with the Celestron mobile app for iOS and Android. Leave your hand control behind and slew to all the best celestial objects with a tap of your smartphone or tablet. The NexStar Evolution is the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with integrated WiFi. "This robotic WiFi telescope is the coolest app-cessory in the galaxy" This “final acceptance test” confirms the EdgeHD will perform in the field and deliver high-quality astroimages. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging.Įvery EdgeHD that ships has been tested not only for the surface quality of each optical component, but also with a camera and artificial star to ensure the imaging system meets our rigid quality assurance. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. Add the optional reducer lens-custom-designed for your size EdgeHD tube-and you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. At its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. Fastar versatility - EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today.Each vent has an integrated 50-mesh filter guaranteed to let warm air out without letting dust in. Tube vents - Cooling vents located on the rear cell allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror.Once focused, the flexible rods allow the mirror to be held in place without putting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece (or on the sensor). Mirror clutches - Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when taking long exposure astro-images.In addition to EdgeHD’s optimized optical design, the telescope tube has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night. With Celestron’s StarBright XLT optical coatings on every surface, EdgeHD optics gives you maximum light throughput across the widest visual and photographic spectrum. 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. This guarantees you visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today. EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane more than three-times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and dramatically flatter than competing coma-free designs. While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrographs" actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view.
