Description

C14 - Schmidt-Cassegrain - 356mm/3910mm - Optical tube assembly

Since decades, the C14 is manufactured by Celestron. Meanwhile it has a very good reputation as a powerful big optical system.

When you see very good astro photos made by a big SC system, you will find out that most of them has been made by a Celestron C14.

It is also used in many observatories because this high performance optical system is still compact and leaves enough space in a standard dome or shelter.

If you need some recommendations regarding a good mount for photography with this bis telescope, please feel free to contact us - we appreciate making an offer four you, including the neccessary adaptions:

Transportable?

Well, the OTA weight of 20.4 kgs at a length of 78 cm suggests good transportability. Many amateurs use even bigger telescopes in the field. So it's upon your decision if you want to use the C14 mobile but please consider that this telescope also needs a really sturdy mount.

XLT coatings: Due to the multi layer anti-reflective coatings, Celestron telescopes have very high transmission values. Especially in the field around 500nm, up to 10% more light can pass. This is the field, where the human eye is very sensitive.

The C14 is ready for FastStar - you can convert it to a f/1,9 CCD Schmidt Camera with the HyperStar Kit.

The advantagtes of the Celestron Schmidt Cassegrain System:

Short design Nearly 4m of focal length are brought into this compact tube because of the SC design with spherical main- and secondary mirror.
No focus problems The focal point is moved by adjusting the main mirror's position. This causes a very wide focus range allowing the connection of nearly any accessory parts for observation and photography.
Stiff tube Even astro photography with long integration times is possible. Due to the short tube design, no bending occurs.
Easy adaption The Schmidt-Cassegrain comes with a Losmandy-style prism rail. So it can be fixed easily to all standard mounts with this 3" system.
