See Further and Clearer With the Celestron 11" Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA 11) – 11-inch size
The Celestron 11" Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA 11) is an optic built to help you bring distant detail close — supplied as genuine Australian stock with local warranty. Capturing impressive deep-sky astroimages is easier than ever with Celestron's Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) V2, the perfect companion to today's top DSLR or astronomical CCD cameras.
Why You’ll Love It
- Bring distant detail close — this fast, wide-field f/2.2 system allows for shorter exposure times compared to traditional f/10 astroimaging, without sacrificing resolution.
- Enjoy bright, clear views — because shorter sub-exposure times are possible, your equatorial mount won't need to accurately track over extended periods.
- Hold it comfortably — the short focal length also lessens equatorial tracking demands.
- Take it anywhere — in many cases, autoguiding will not be required.
