Celestron - 11 SCT (CGE) Optical Tube Assembly

Embark on a journey across the cosmos with the Vespera 3 Smart Telescope — a fully automated, all-in-one astrophotography system that delivers breathtaking live views of the night sky and stunning 4K astrophotos of your favorite deep-sky objects. At its core is a refined 50mm f/4.9 Apochromatic quadruplet Petzval-inspired optical design, featuring extra-low dispersion ED glass elements and internal baffles that block stray light for better contrast and edge-to-edge sharpness. The result is reduced chromatic aberration and improved color contrast compared to previous generations. Paired with the Sony IMX585 color image sensor — featuring exceptionally low read noise — the Vespera 3 effortlessly captures and live-stacks stunning 4K photos of the night sky, all from the palm of your hand. Mosaic mode automatically stitches multiple frames for images up to 24 megapixels, expanding your field of view without sacrificing resolution. The Vespera 3 features automatic multi-night capture and a best-in-class live-stacking algorithm, making ambitious astrophotography projects easier than ever — with zero manual stacking required. Plan My Night lets you schedule a full sequence of observations automatically, working seamlessly with Mosaic Mode and Multi-Night Capture. With 115GB of internal storage and an extended 11-hour battery life, you can capture entire nights without interruption. An auto-activation anti-fog system triggered by built-in humidity and temperature sensors keeps your optics clear, and a bubble level ensures perfect setup every time. Built around a durable metal chassis for strength, stability, and rigidity, the Vespera 3 is the only smart telescope in its class backed by a five-year warranty. Control everything wirelessly through the Singularity App on iOS or Android — no eyepiece, no complex setup, just the universe at your fingertips.

The eQuinox 2 is an innovative smart telescope that brings the wonders of space within reach, even in brightly lit urban areas. Our technology eliminates the need for expertise in complex instruments, so you can effortlessly unlock the wonders of space with our user-friendly technology. Observe galaxies, nebulae, and planets in full color from even urban areas. Enjoy the click-and-wow telescope that is ready to explore space in just two minutes from anywhere.

The NexStar Evolution is the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with integrated WiFi. Leave your hand control behind and slew to all the best celestial objects with a tap of your smartphone or tablet. Connect your device to NexStar Evolution’s built-in wireless network, and explore the universe with the SkyPortal Powered by SkySafari™ mobile app for iOS and Android. 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. Our proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure is built right into the SkyPortal mobile app, so you’re ready to observe within minutes. The most user-friendly telescope ever. Celestron engineers designed NexStar Evolution based on years of customer feedback. It offers many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you the best possible experience out under the stars. Forget about batteries or an external power supply. For the first time ever on a consumer telescope, NexStar Evolution includes its own built-in battery. 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. 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. 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. Setting up your NexStar Evolution is quick and painless with large, ergonomic handles. The same heavy-duty stainless steel tripod we use on our CPC series telescopes anchors your 9.25" telescope, providing serious stability. Manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth offer greater flexibility to manually point the telescope when powered off. Store up to 7 eyepieces in 2 accessory trays, one with an adjustable red LED illuminator. Superior tracking fit for astroimaging. If you’re interested in astroimaging, the 9.25-inch NexStar Evolution is an excellent, affordable way to get started. It’s the only fork-mounted telescope in its price range that offers brass worm gears, along with improved motors. NexStar Evolution’s tracking accuracy is so impressive, you can capture images of deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula by simply attaching your DSLR camera. As you progress in the hobby of astroimaging, you can add our Pro HD Wedge to achieve longer exposures for more detailed astrophotos. Of course, the Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system offers bright, sharp views with StarBright XLT optical coatings—a great choice for visual observers and budding astroimagers alike. NexStar Evolution is equipped with 4 auxiliary ports--2 on top of the fork and 2 on the bottom. A classic NexStar+ hand control is included, but is not necessary when using NexStar Evolution with the mobile app. The telescope also includes a StarPointer finderscope, two 1.25” Plossl eyepieces, a 1.25” star diagonal, and an AC adapter.
