Description
- RASA Optical Technology: Unleashing the Power of Light
- At the heart of Celestron Origin lies the patented Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA)- a landmark advancement in optics. In the RASA design, the imaging sensor lies at the front of the telescope tube, not the back, creating an ultra-fast f/2.2 system with an extraordinarily wide field of view while providing sharp images to the edge.
- To take full advantage of the RASA optics, Celestron selected the Sony IMX178 color CMOS sensor to capture your data. It features STARVIS back-illuminated technology for the highest sensitivity and fast readout with low noise, helping to provide clear images as quickly as possible. This sensitive chip has small 2.4μm2 pixels for high resolution - a perfect match for the fast optical design.
- Turning Every Backyard Observer into an Astroimager
- Celestron Origin introduces a paradigm shift in astrophotography with its built-in AI algorithms.
- The images you create with Origin are 100 percent your own data, optimized to look its best. The technology works in real-time on your live-stacked images and is also applied to the final stacked master.
- A Universe at Your Fingertips: StarSense Technology and the Origin App
- Place Origin outside, turn it on, and connect to the app. Then, you can choose to remain with your telescope or head indoors.
- Apple iOS Download
- Google Play Download
- Once you've chosen a target, Origin centers it precisely in the field of view. Switch to the camera view and press Start Imaging to begin capturing 10-second exposures.
- A Shared Cosmic Experience
- Ready for More? Advanced Features
- Origin has a built-in filter drawer that accepts standard 1.25 in. and 2 in. format filters. This allows you to install optional filters, which can be especially useful in imaging nebulae in light-polluted environments like the typical suburban backyard. For imaging broadband objects like galaxies and star clusters or objects from dark skies, remove the filter for more light-throughput and brighter images. Experiment with removable and interchangeable filters for results you can't achieve with other systems' fixed filters.
- Connect via USB to import them into your favorite image-processing software for manual editing and stacking.
- Gain a New Perspective Here on Earth
- Origin can also capture incredible views of land-based objects on Earth, day or night. During the day, you can manually slew Origin to capture landscapes and scenery. At night, Origin's fast optics and sensitive camera allow you to see things in very dim ambient conditions for almost night vision-like performance.
- Take Your Astroimaging Studio Anywhere
- Origin is a portable system that doesn't require external WiFi networks,The optical tube, mount, and tripod all easily assemble and disassemble without tools. Each component weighs less than 16 lb. Optional carry cases are also available.
- Your Origin system comes complete with everything you need to become an instant astronomer:
- 6 in. RASA optical tube with integrated camera
- Origin single fork-arm mount with internal lithium battery
- Built-in computer with cooling fans and WiFi
- Autofocuser
