8 Inch EdgeHD OTA Optical Tube - 91030-XLT

The Celestron 8 Inch EdgeHD OTA is a compact Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a native f/10 focal ratio and 2032mm focal length, featuring flat, coma-free imaging and StarBright XLT optical coatings. It produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view with an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge. With an 8-inch aperture and long focal length, it is surprisingly portable at just 14 pounds and 17 inches long, making it easy to mount on most mid-sized telescope mounts. The versatile design accommodates three focal ratios: native f/10, f/7 with the addition of a focal reducer, or ultra-fast f/2 imaging with a removable secondary mirror and third-party accessories, making it an excellent choice for both planetary and deep-sky astrophotography.
