Description
Using the Celestron Starbright XLT Coatings, high contrast views at high magnification are a walk in the park! The coatings increase contrast and light transmission; significantly improving image quality to very superior standards which is a major plus for shorter exposure astrophotography. When taking into account the durability of the Fastar system as well as the f/6.3 focal reducer, making shorter exposure times even better at 25 times shorter at f/2 than its typical f/10 optical focal ratio.
Features:
- Cutting edge optics with the 11" SCT design, an astrophotographer must have!
- Starbright XLT Coatings renders excellent quality views and images
- The Fastar application turns an f/10 system to an f/2 for very short exposure times
- Lightweight and portable enough for relatively easy transportation
