Celestron EdgeHD Optical Tube 

Explore the universe with the Celestron 9.25" EdgeHD Telescope. Superior optics, aplanatic design, and Starbright XLT coatings. Shop now for crystal-clear views!

Why settle for less when you can explore the universe in high-definition with our 9.25" EdgeHD Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly with Starbright XLT Coatings  This innovative telescope is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain model that delivers aberration-free images across an expansive visual and photographic field of view. Unlike many optical designs that claim to be "astrographs", our EdgeHD telescope ensures pinpoint stars across a flat focal plane. This feature is crucial for astrophotography, as it prevents stars from appearing out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor of a digital camera. The EdgeHD optics produce a focal plane that is over three times flatter than a standard Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and significantly flatter than competing coma-free designs. This guarantees visibly sharp stars across some of the largest CCD chips available today.The EdgeHD telescope is not just about superior optics. It also boasts advanced mechanical features for an optimized viewing experience. The telescope tube has been redesigned to maximize your viewing experience every night. It features mirror clutches with flexible tension that hold the mirror in place, reducing image shift during long exposure astro-images. Once focused, these flexible rods ensure the mirror stays in place without exerting any force or pressure on the mirror assembly, keeping the image centered in the eyepiece or on the sensor.The telescope also comes with cooling vents located on the rear cell, allowing hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror. Each vent is equipped with an integrated 50-mesh filter, ensuring warm air is let out without letting dust in.The EdgeHD is the most versatile imaging telescope available today. With its native f/10, you can achieve the image scale necessary to capture the smallest of deep sky objects. A Barlow gives you added power for high-resolution planetary, lunar, and solar imaging. All EdgeHD optical tubes are Fastar-compatible, allowing the secondary mirror to be removed and replaced with a third-party lens accessory for ultra-fast f/2 wide field imaging.Experience the universe like never before with our high-quality, durable, and advanced 9.25" EdgeHD Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Tube Assembly with Starbright XLT Coatings. It's the perfect tool for amateur astronomers and astrophotographers seeking to observe and capture celestial objects in unmatched detail.

Great telescope. Great service. Ordering was very easy. It was delivered on schedule as promised. Very happy with my purchase and with Adorama.

Very satisfied.

Great product, well constructed and quality material. All you expect from Celestron. I was surprised when I found out it had been shipped as it was not expected to happen for another 8 months or so.

Great product.

I am very impressed with the capability of this SCT so far.  The 8" SCT combined with the CGEM II mount has been a great combination for my introduction to deep space photography.  I still have a long learning curve to overcome but the telescope has provided some breathtaking observations already.

Very impressive telescope, good value, good service.

The tube arrived in great shape, carefully packaged, and is collimated well as far as I checked thus far. (For instance, it produces clear and sharp images of terrestrial targets like a distant sign or tree, incl. eben and natural colors.

One warning: this tube comes with an extended visual back preinstalled, which is great - except that it means that it will not fit into the Celestron case that it should fit in (the smaller one that takes tubes up to and including 8? SCT?s like this one. Since no port cover is included, I ordered a short visual back that I can close with the included 1.25? plastic cover that did come with the tube for its extended visual back.

Excellent optical tube

Great scope. Works well on my Skywatcher EQ6-R, with ASI294MC Pro, EFW, EAF, ASIAir Pro, Pegasus power distribution box, Celestron Dew Shield. All works together with minimum issues.

Great Scope

The OTA Is top notch. Quality build and looks really nice. The included accessories are pretty worthless for observational use. The included 90 degree diagonal, OTA SIDE, moves on its  own when slewing with the two tension screws. You really gotta crank those puppies down really tight. It Does the same on the eyepiece side with eyepiece inserted. The finder scope is ok if you are contortionist. It CAN NOT be used as a auto guide later because all the sizes are from a different planet so nuthin sold would work. 
The CGEM eq mount is very well constructed and supports the 8hd flawlessly. 
Just add in all the upgrades you need to make it enjoyable and Clear Skies.

OTA is perfect. Included accessories, not so much

Very nice telescope.   Suits my purpose well.   Adorama had it in stock and nobody else did.   Fast delivery.

Nice telescope

Great telescope but there is a pretty steep learning curve to climb before using it. I highly recommend the StarSense auto alignment accessory to make alignment automatic.
