I recently picked up a brand-new Celestron EdgeHD 9.25 OTA from All-Star Telescope store here in Edmonton. They have the stock and held it for me while I was out of town for a few days.
Excellent service and the product is pristine and in excellent condition. It’s nice to have a local Edmonton astronomy store that is well stocked and delivers for the local astronomy community!
I recently purchased my first "real" astro camera, after years of using a modified DSLR. This adapter was a simple way for me to continue using my large number of Canon EF lenses while making the switch to a cooled camera. It works well. Solid. No light leaks. Highly recommended.
I am really interested in trying eyepiece projection. BAADER seems to have this under controll. The adapter, being supplied by Baader, screws on to the Baader Morpheus eyepieces Nick supplied with no fuss and vola, you are ready for the 30 mm extension and t ring.
Now if we can get some good weather......
Ordered on a Sunday evening, shipped the next day and received (from across Canada) on the Thursday. Excellent service as usual. The camera is a heck of an upgrade over my DSLR. Paired with my C5 it gives great closeups and details. The running man was my first shot with this scope, I impressed myself :). Thanks All-Star, as my C5 is high mag, I will no doubt be purchasing a refractor soon to capture the larger nebulas.
Stones were gray and brown. I expected more colour as per the picture of it online. Rather disappointed.
Le télescope est extraordinaire, fonctionne très bien trouve les as facilement et il y a une clarté d'image incomparable, je suis très satisfait
The carrying bag is Padded with more than enough foam and many pockets for carrying accessories and velcro flaps
Lots of room for extras
OTA.. fits very nice with the removal of the extra foam supplied piece and can use it for extra padding in the case
Nice colors and trip aspersions celestron logo
Unit is much larger than I thought?...but that means it is more protection for the telescope
The wheels and handle seem good,, the handle feels a little wobbly though?
But overall this is a GREAT case for portable transport
Bob’s **** removed the anxiety of waving a Phillips head **** driver around over the corrector plate of my 9.25 EdgeHD. I took care installing them and therefore did not **** up collimation too badly before recollimating under the stars. Collimation is especially easy with Dylan O’Donnell’s PP method: https://youtu.be/EcKQFutDEAw
Excellent low profile eyepiece holder when you need the extra light path.
This 6" CabKing machine really live up to its reputation, only thing i would suggest is adding some soft padding under both water collecting thingy on both side to reduce vibration noise and do not use the plastic hand rest, just buy some cheap tube insulation (pool noodles) and place them at the front. other than that, superb machine that work very well and as the title said, all-star telescope has managed to keep their pricing competitive as of the writing of this review!
I’m very impressed with what the mini can do. My first time using it was a breeze and I was able to get a very good shot of the Orion Nebula in 20 minutes.
Finally, clear skies. I used my new Celestron Origin for the first time last night and I could not have been happier. Light in weight, easy to set up, simple instructions on the app - I was imaging in about 10 minutes. The automatically stacked images appeared like magic and I quickly had the best shots of the Andromeda Galaxy I have ever taken. Thank you Celestron and thank you All-Star Telescope.
This appears to be a very well-constructed and well-padded telescope bag. I will be confident traveling with my new Origin telescope stored inside. I like the option of being able to insert the telescope vertically or horizontally.
Make use of it using 2” filters when using my ZWO 2600MC. It comes very useful.
