Celestron Focal Reducer Lens - 0.7 EdgeHD 1400

Manufacturer's Website

Description

The Celestron Focal Reducer Lens - 0.7 EdgeHD 1100 features a custom 5-element optical design and is engineered to maintain the flat-field performance of the EdgeHD 1400 aplanatic Schmidt optical tube assembly (OTA). This reducer lens provides a substantial 5.75" back focus to accommodate an assortment of imaging accessories. It offers high index optical elements, including extra low dispersion, Lanthanum elements, which provide high contrast viewing while minimizing chromatic aberration. All air-to-glass surfaces are treated with multiple layers of anti-reflection coatings for maximum light transmission and colour correction, and the interior of the housing has blackened edges to minimize internal reflection and further enhance image contrast.

The reducer lens features large-diameter lens elements and up to 60mm clear aperture, which ensure that the image circle remains at a generous 42mm for use with large CCD sensors. The mechanical design incorporates a computer-assisted CNC machined aluminium housing for precise spacing and alignment of optical elements and threaded metal covers on the lens assembly to protect your lens from dust and scratches.

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
• Maintains similar flat-field performance as native EdgeHD optical design
• Increases field of view by 43% to better capture wide field images
• Threads directly onto the 3.25" threads of the EdgeHD which reduces mechanical vignetting and allows for use with larger (full frame) sensors and Off-Axis Guiders
• Maintains the identical back focus when used at f/10 and provides generous back focus to accommodate additional accessories and wide variety of cameras
• Allows use of existing EdgeHD T-Adapters with or without the Reducer Lens
