Celestron Reducer Lens .7x - EdgeHD 1400 - Increases Field of View 43%

How does one elevate their astrophotography to professional levels The Celestron Reducer Lens .7x for EdgeHD 1400 is the answer for enthusiasts and professionals seeking to expand their field of view without compromising on image quality. This high-quality reducer lens is specifically engineered to complement the award-winning EdgeHD optical system, ensuring a flat-field performance that is second to none.

The innovative 5-element optical design of this reducer lens is not just any generic addition to your setup. It is a premium, advanced optical solution that provides substantial back focus, allowing for a versatile range of imaging accessories to be accommodated. The reducer lens is designed to maintain the same back focus as when used at F/11, ensuring compatibility with existing EdgeHD T-adapters and a variety of Celestron imaging accessories.

With the inclusion of high index, extra low dispersion Lanthanum glass elements, this reducer lens delivers high contrast views while minimizing chromatic aberration. The fully multi-coated lens elements boast multiple layers of coating, enhancing light transmission and color correction. Additionally, the blackened edges of the lens elements reduce internal reflections and maximize image contrast, ensuring that your astrophotography captures are as crisp and clear as possible.

The reducer lens features a large diameter, with a 60mm clear aperture that is optimized for a generous 42mm image circle, making it ideal for use with large CCD sensors. This design choice ensures that the optimized image circle remains ample for capturing detailed, wide-field images of celestial wonders.

Celestron's mechanical design is just as robust and durable as its optical performance. The reducer lens is housed in a computer-assisted CNC machined aluminum housing, which guarantees precise spacing and alignment of the optical elements. Threaded metal covers on both ends of the lens assembly protect your investment from dust and scratches, enhancing the durability of the product.

Versatility is at the heart of this reducer lens. It is Fastar compatible, and when used with the optional accessory, it allows for f/2 imaging, making the EdgeHD optical system the most complete imaging solution in its price range. The reducer lens threads directly onto the 3.25" threads of the EdgeHD optical tube, reducing mechanical vignetting and enabling use with larger full-frame sensors and Off-Axis Guiders.

In summary, the Celestron Reducer Lens .7x - EdgeHD 1400 is an essential tool for any astrophotographer looking to increase their field of view by 43% and capture wide-field images with unparalleled clarity and contrast. Its high-quality, durable, and innovative design, coupled with its advanced optical elements, make it a superior choice over alternatives. This reducer lens is not just an accessory; it's an investment in elevating your astrophotography to celestial heights.
