The fastest way to deep-sky photos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Celestron RASA 8 Advanced VX<\/strong> is a pure astrograph: built for photography, not for viewing. The 203mm Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph operates at f\/2.0 with a focal length of 400mm. That means extremely short exposures: in 30 to 60 seconds, you can capture nebulae and star fields that classic systems take minutes for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera in front, no eyepiece<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A RASA has the camera at the focal plane on the front of the tube; an eyepiece doesn't fit on it intentionally. The design is optimized for astro cameras with small to medium-sized sensors and delivers pinpoint stars across the entire field. Those who want to observe and photograph visually should choose an EdgeHD; those who want maximum photographic results per minute should choose the RASA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Advanced VX: Built for Photography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Advanced VX is a German equatorial GoTo mount with a 13.6 kg payload capacity, NexStar+ hand controller with over 40,000 objects, All-Star Polar Alignment for polar alignment without visibility of Polaris, periodic error correction (PPEC), and an autoguider port. The mount operates on 12V; a powertank is the logical addition. Thanks to f\/2.0, the demands on tracking accuracy remain mild: short subs tolerate small deviations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
