In addition to Celestron ‘s new optimized optical design, the EdgeHD 9.25in OTA has been redesigned to make sure you get the most from your optics each and every night. Among them include:
- Mirror Support – Flexible tension clutches hold the mirror in place and reduce image shift when rotating the tube around the mount. 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 chip).
- 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 -The EdgeHD are the most versatile imaging scopes available today. At its native f10 you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. With the optional reducer lens (coming soon) you can increase your field of view without sacrificing optical performance. A barlow gives you the added power for high resolution planetary, lunar and solar imaging. And of course all EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar compatible for ultra fast f/2 wide field imaging. Each tube has been fitted with a removable secondary mirror and are opto-mechanically aligned on a laser bench to ensure they are axially symmetric in any configuration.
- 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.
