Optical Lens System

With an intricate arrangement of five elements, this compact and versatile lens maintains a flat-field performance, providing exceptional image quality suited to astrophotography and astro-imaging. This intuitive lens further reduces exposure time by half to capture bright images. Additionally, this pro-level lens increases the field of view by 43%, enabling you to capture wide-field images of galaxies, nebulas, and clusters.

Glass Element

Manufactured from rare-earth lanthanum glass, this unique lens provides clear, contrasting, and high-resolution images, while reducing chromatic aberration. With multiple coatings on the elements, this powerful lens facilitates maximum light transmission, allowing you to take brighter images. Minimising the internal refraction and improving contrast are blackened edges around all elements.

Unique Frame Design

The Celestron Reducer Lens has a 60 mm diameter optimised for a 42 mm image circle so that you can use it with large CCD sensors. In addition to this, the lightweight reducer lens has threads that fit directly to a 3.25” (8.25 cm) EdgeHD telescope’s threading that minimises vignetting and allows use with full-frame sensors and off-axis guiders. For precise alignment with the optical elements is the Celestron lens’ computer assisted CNC-machined aluminium housing.

FAQs:

Can you use this lens with Fastar devices?

This reducer lens features compatibility with both Fastar devices and optional accessories for f2 imaging.

What is vignetting? How does this lens reduce it?

Vignetting is a property of a lens that blurs or fades the edges of an image. This lens has a thread configuration that attaches directly to a 3.25” (8.25) EdgeHD telescope, providing support and stability to reduce the vignetting effect.

Can you use this lens with large CCD sensors?

The lens has a 60 mm clear and fast aperture that is optimised for a 42 mm image circle, allowing use with a large CCD sensor and prevents blocking the field of view.

Does this lens have an optical coating? Can it reduce chromatic aberration?

The Celestron Reducer Lens has multiple coatings on all elements that help to improve contrast, colour rendition, and image resolution. In addition to this, the lens features lanthanum glass elements that effectively reduce chromatic aberration.
