{"title":"Celestron EDGEHD sale","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"category-description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n        Celestron's EdgeHD promotion runs September 1 to 30, 2026. Every telescope in this collection is reduced for the month — optical tubes on their own and complete systems already paired to a mount. Prices return to normal on October 1.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n        EdgeHD is Celestron's aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain design. A standard SCT is sharp in the middle and soft at the edges, where stars stretch into comet shapes and the field curves away from the sensor plane. EdgeHD adds corrective optics inside the baffle tube to flatten that field, so stars stay round from corner to corner. Visually it means a clean field edge to edge. For imaging it means you can use the whole chip rather than cropping to the sharp centre.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n        The sale covers four optical tube assemblies — EdgeHD 8″, 9.25″, 11″ and 14″, all on the CGE-style dovetail — and complete telescope systems on the Advanced VX, CGEM II, CGX and CGX-L mounts. If you already own a capable mount, the OTA on its own is the cheaper route into the design. If you are starting fresh, the packaged systems arrive matched and ready to align.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\n        Worth knowing before you order: these are long focal length instruments, f\/10 native and f\/7 with the optional 0.7× reducer. That is a narrow field of view and a real demand on tracking, so they reward a solid mount and steady seeing more than a short refractor does. The larger tubes are also heavier than they photograph — if you are buying an OTA alone, check your mount's payload capacity first. We are in Bolton, Ontario, and we would rather talk it through before you order than after.\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"advanced-avx-8-edge-hd-sct","title":"Advanced AVX 8\" EDGE HD SCT","description":"\u003ch1\u003eOverview\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e  \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e8  (2032mm) f\/10 Edge HD  includes StarBright XLT      coatings for better light transmission\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEdge HD optical design fully corrects for coma and      field curvature, delivering a truly flat field\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBuilt-in tube vents with integrated 60 micron mesh      filters allow hot air to be released behind the primary mirror\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFastar compatible tube comes with removable secondary      mirror for fast f\/2.8 imaging\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e9x50 optical finderscope for locating alignment stars\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eInteger gear ratios and permanently programmable      Periodic Error Correction eliminates recurring track errors from the worm      gear.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAutoguider port for long exposure imaging\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNew motors offer improved tracking performance \u0026amp;      provide more power to overcome load imbalances\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUpdated industrial design offers more rigidity, less      flexure and improved aesthetics\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNew design allows viewing or imaging across the      meridian without interference from the motors housings\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eImproved latitude range.

This setup offers the astroimager maximum versatility   allowing up to 3 different f-stop configurations. Users can attach a camera to the rear of the telescope and shoot at f\/10, or attach our 8-inch focal reducer (coming soon) and shoot at f\/7. Additionally, EdgeHD is Fastar\/Hyperstar compatible, giving imagers the option to shoot at ultra-fast f\/2. No matter which configuration you choose, EdgeHD technology gives you pinpoint stars all the way to the edge of the CCD sensor.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWith an 8-inch optical tube and our portable Advanced VX mount, this setup can be easily transported and assembled by one person.

You ll be able to track through long exposures using permanently programmable periodic error correction. Image across the meridian without doing a meridian flip, so you can seamlessly image the best part of night sky. Advanced VX features significantly larger base castings than our previous design, improving stability under heavier loads. Improved motors offer more torque and can handle slight load imbalances with ease.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e
