This fast, wide-field f\/2.2 system allows for shorter exposure times compared to traditional f\/10 astroimaging, without sacrificing resolution. Because shorter sub-exposure times are possible, your equatorial mount won’t need to accurately track over extended periods. The short focal length of this Celestron 11\" Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph V2 also reduces the equatorial tracking demands on your mount. In many cases, autoguiding may not be required (depending upon your tasks).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRASA 11 V2 utilizes the new Ultra-Stable Focus System (USFS). At the heart of this system is a precision linear ball bearing. The bearing serves to minimize focus shift (unwanted lateral motion of the primary mirror during focusing which causes shifting of the image) and mirror flop (movement of the primary mirror when the telescope is pointing to different positions in the sky). The USFS is also compatible with the optional Celestron Focus Motor (#94155-A). The integrated 12V DC MagLev fan reduces cooldown time and provides optimal airflow through the dust filtered optical tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered as a complete astroimaging system, every component of the Celestron 11\" RASA 11 V2 Schmidt Astrograph is optimized for peak performance with DSLR and astronomical CCD cameras. Down to the thickness of the glass used in the included fully-multicoated optical window or optional imaging filter, every component of the system has been given careful engineeing thought, to work together seamlessly. The Dovetail CGE bars on the top of the optical tube provides a good way to mount optional accessories like a guidescope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CGX Mount from Celestron was designed to better support your telescope for both visual and astro-imaging pursuits.
