Celestron C8 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope OTA
The C8 is the classic among the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. For decades this instrument convinces amateur astronomers with very good performance. Celestron has continously improved this telescope. The C8 is a modern telescope fur universal application.

Application of the Celestron C8:
The telescope is suitable for visual observation and also astrophotography. You can use 2" and 1.25" accessories without problems and binoviewers for observation with both eyes can be attached directly, too. For astrophotography we offer high-quality corrector systems with very good field correction and increased speed at the same time. Particularly through the short design, the C8 is perfectly suited for mobile astrophotography.


Internal focusing
By primary mirror focusing a very large focusing range is ensured. Almost any accessory can be used. Two preloaded ball bearings are used for keeping the wanted mirror position.

High-quality materials and precisely CNC machined parts provide a high stability and accuracy which is necessary especially for astrophotography.


The most important features of the C8:
Long focal length and short design at the same time - ideal for mobile astronomy
Aluminium tube with only 5.7 kg weight - the telescope can still be used with compact and economically priced mounts
High-quality XLT multi-coating for a bright image with high contrast
Closed system - the primary mirror is always protected
Preloaded ball bearings for low-shifting primary mirror focusing
Losmandy style dovetail bar for easy connection to astronomical mounts
SC 2" thread connector - choose from a wide range of accessories

"Bisher besaß ich nur einene Refraktor mit 100mm Öffnung. Im Vergleich hierzu ist das C8 natürlich eine ganz andere Erfahrung. An Deep-Sky-Objekten werden mehr Details sichtbar und Kugelsternhaufen können deutlich besser aufgelöst werden. Wegen der kompakten Abmessungen ist das C8 für ""Gelegenheitsbeobachter"" auch bequem vom heimischen Balkon aus einsetzbar. Ich würde lediglich den Austausch der fest montierten Halterung für das Sucherfernrohr gegen einen kleinen Sucherschuh (z.B. BA2457000A) empfehlen, da sich das Teleskop dann besser in einer runden Tasche verpacken lässt. Damit lassen sich dann auch Leuchtpunktsucher etc. am C8 montieren."
