The 4-element front lens group is made of rare-earth glass to achieve the best in reducing chromatic aberration and correcting field curvature, coma, and astigmatism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eState-of-the-art XLT coatings allow for light transmission levels approaching T=1. The f\/2.0 focal ratio makes it an extremely fast instrument, allowing you to photograph extended deep-sky objects with significantly shorter exposures compared to classic optics. Furthermore, the short focal length often eliminates the need for autoguiding, a major advantage in terms of the additional equipment you have to carry into the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs this is an astrograph, Celestron's opticians have designed a system that allows wavelengths in the deep violet and infrared to converge simultaneously on the sensor, while still ensuring a spot size of less than 4.6 µm RMS. This is a significant advantage, considering that many wide-field celestial objects have a large part of their spectrum in the infrared as well. The Celestron 8” RASA tube is compatible with the latest mirrorless cameras and astronomical CCD and CMOS sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe optical design allows for perfect images up to the edge of the field on sensors with a 22mm diagonal, typical of most recent mirrorless cameras. The field is still reasonably corrected for larger sensors, up to a 32mm diagonal. On FX sensors, however, image performance at the edges is lower, with MTF values and vignetting that are not negligible by today's imaging standards. It is not compatible with DSLR cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe instrument is equipped with a newly redesigned focuser with zero image shift, featuring ball-bearing technology. The 8” RASA is also equipped with a fan to speed up the tube's acclimatization and, through the use of special filters, simultaneously draw in air to remove dust from inside the tube.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRowe-Ackermann Schmidt optical design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAperture 203 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocal Length 400 mm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocal Ratio f\/2.0\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCentral Obstruction 93 mm (46% of diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImage Circle 22 mm Ø, 3.15°\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-top:30px;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCelestron quality for a reliable and rewarding observation experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eType: Metal Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter (mm): 203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Metal Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAperture Ratio: f\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTube structure: Closed Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-top:30px;\"\u003eMain technical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin-top:10px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eCelestron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eCelestron 8\" Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eCoaxial Reflectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eMetal Tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eDiameter (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e203\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eAperture Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003ef\/2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eTube structure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eClosed Tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ccc;\"\u003eMetal Tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#f0f8ff;padding:15px;margin-top:30px;border-left:4px solid #007acc;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake advantage of free shipping throughout Italy for orders over €199.99!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Celestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51120689873112,"sku":"CE91073","price":2471.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/0722\/6072\/files\/89244cc93f3181dc25e4bed7eb70f0ad.jpg?v=1764069708","url":"https:\/\/www.giordanoastronomia.it\/en\/products\/celestron-astrografo-rowe-ackermann-8","provider":"Giordano Astronomia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
