With the Advanced VX 800 200mm f/2.0 Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph GoTo EQ Telescope, Celestron combines their purpose-built and patented catadioptric astrograph with a solid and stable motorized computer-controlled GoTo mount to give you a complete imaging rig that will allow you to capture stunning images of everything from the marias of the moon to wispy nebulae. This telescope includes a fast 8" RASA optical tube, the Advanced VX mount, a sturdy 2" stainless steel tripod, and an array of basic accessories. All you need is a camera or imaging rig and a dark sky to point it all at.
The Celestron 8" f/2.0 Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) is specifically designed for astrophotography and astro-imaging with a large aperture and fast focal ratio. Using four-element rare-earth optical glass lenses ensures accurate color rendition and eliminates aberrations such as coma and field curvatures. The improved StarBright XLT multi-coating system, which includes anti-reflection coatings on the lenses and highly reflective coatings on the mirrors, increases light transmission throughout the entire optical path. An integrated fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal airflow through the optical tube assembly (OTA) while filtering harmful dust from the interior.
The astrograph design is defined by its fast focal ratio, which reduces exposure times without sacrificing image quality and gives you more time for multiple shots of the same object for layering or with different filters. Its internal Ultra-Stable focusing mechanism enables very precise focusing to clearly resolve topographic details on the Moon or split double stars and reveal details of most other celestial objects in between, while minimizing unwanted lateral movement of the primary mirror when focusing or slewing. Since this OTA is designed as an imaging scope, a 42mm camera T-adapter and C-mount imager adapter are included that are compatible with most camera-specific T-rings that are widely available.
