At 2:45 if can see the optic axis of the scope os not aligned.These are great scopes but very,very poor engeniered.The corrector usually looses aligment because the hole in the corrector glass is oversized for the secondary corretor and the corrector tends to loose aligment.In my C8 not even the primary was aligned and was glued with a rubber stuff...very poor indeed.
The only criticism I have about Fastar is when a camera is hooked up in this configuration, you can't use the scope for visual at all. Kinda of a drag, actually. Plus when the DSLR is hooked up as shown in this video, it blocks a large portion of the light entering the corrector lens. I'm curious... how much weight can the corrector lens support before it cracks? Some DSLR's like the D60 are quite heavy.
diese teleskope sind erst ab 1000 euro etwas wert sonst kann mann auch ein einfachen newton kaufen...die hersteller übetreiben mit dem fang spiegel zu viel abstraktion entsteht bis20 30 prozent....das heist den wirkliche öffnung duch 5 teilen dann hat man nutzbare
i like meade lx200 acf scopes better. They offer more aperature, better coatings (uhtc), bigger steadier tripods, and dual fork mount instead of this dovetail mount. It does cost a bit more though!
More aperture? Celestron has 8", 9.25", 11" and 14". Meade 8", 10" and 12". The coatings are comparable between the two, so are the tripods. Dual fork is good if you like Alt Azimuth mounts, but for astrophotography German EQ mounts are essential as they track the sky with better precision. I'm not saying the LX200 isn't a good 'scope, it is a good scope. But its overpriced and overrated... unless they keep giving away the Solarmax with every purchase, then its worth it.
wow I love celestron its the best, i bought a celestron powerseeker 60az and could see jupiter big with my camera, and satrun you could see the rings,m42 as well or orions nebuale, and faint but noticalbe m31 or andromeda galaxy this company rocks solid in opitics would recommend from this company
@Gufberg How far you can see is a direct function of object brightness and size. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy naked eye, and that's 2 million light years. Amateur scopes this size can detect quasars 3 billion light years out. The real question is how faint can you see (limiting magnitude). A small asteroid 1/1000th of a light year away can be harder to see with a telescope than the Andromeda Galaxy naked eye.
Congratulations, Celestron, on the EdgeHD series of SCTs! Now Meade has some real competition.
They look wonderful, and I can hardly wait to see the views through one. I love my Celestron CPC 1100 SCT, by the way, and wouldn't trade it for anything...except maybe the 14" EdgdHD...
I have CPC 925 and its fantastic.... also I have powerseeker 50 AZ and its very good too.. celestron is trully great... Meade too....

Nope. Its' not aplanatic. It's a standard SC. The correction is made by a built in corrector which supposedly corrects both coma and field curvature.
But I still have to find out specifications about this 2 lens corrector.
The good part is that this may be a very dedicater "double corrector". The bad part is that it's the usual SC with a corrector.
This about the pure optics. I don't address useful things like mirror lock.

I'm considering buying the Celestron Powerseeker 675 Reflector. Just how far are you capable of looking with your telescope?

Man,I'd love to demo a 14" EdgeHD that just might make me chuck my LX200 10" Classic!
