Celestron 0.7x Reducer Lens for EdgeHD 1400

Celestron 0.7x Reducer Lens for EdgeHD 1400 Description

The Celestron 0.7x Reducer Lens for EdgeHD 1400 is an exceptional addition to your astrophotography toolkit, specifically designed to enhance the performance of the EdgeHD optical system. Imagine being able to capture stunning images of celestial bodies with reduced exposure times—all while maintaining remarkable clarity and color accuracy. This premium reducer lens features a custom 5-element optical design that ensures flat-field performance, setting it apart from generic reducers that often compromise image quality.

Perfect for both amateur astronomers and seasoned astrophotographers, the EdgeHD 0.7x reducer allows you to explore the night sky with greater ease and efficiency. With this lens, your telescope becomes one full F-stop faster than f/11, effectively halving your exposure time while still achieving the same brightness of objects. This means you can quickly snap breathtaking images of distant galaxies and nebulae without the need for long, tedious exposures.

The EdgeHD reducer also increases your field of view by 43%, making it an ideal choice for capturing wider images of larger celestial objects. Its large diameter lens elements, boasting a clear aperture of 60mm, ensure that the optimized image circle remains generous at 42mm, perfectly accommodating larger CCD sensors. Whether you're photographing the Andromeda Galaxy or intricate star clusters, this reducer lens empowers you to document your astronomical adventures like never before.

Constructed with a CNC machined aluminum housing, the reducer lens is designed for precise spacing and alignment of optical elements. Threaded metal covers protect your investment from dust and scratches, ensuring longevity without sacrificing performance. For those seeking versatility, this reducer lens is compatible with existing EdgeHD T-Adapters and other Celestron imaging accessories, making it a fantastic choice for any astrophotography setup.

Features

• The EdgeHD .7x Focal Reducer Lens makes your EdgeHD 1400 one full F-Stop faster than f/11, reducing your exposure time by half to capture the same brightness of object.
• 5-element lens design engineered specifically for EdgeHD optical systems.
• Maintains similar flat-field performance as the native EdgeHD optical design.
• Increases field of view by 43% to better capture wide-field images of larger galaxies and nebulae.
• Threads directly onto the 3.25" threads of the EdgeHD, reducing mechanical vignetting and allowing for use with larger (full frame) sensors and Off-Axis Guiders.
• Maintains the identical back focus when used at f/11 and provides generous back focus to accommodate additional accessories and a wide variety of cameras.
• Allows use of existing EdgeHD T-Adapters with or without the Reducer Lens.
