Its 356mm aperture and 3910mm focal length give it the light grasp of a research instrument in a tube just 787mm long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a standard SCT, EdgeHD optics correct both coma and field curvature. The result is pinpoint stars to the edge of full-frame and large-format astronomy cameras. That makes the EdgeHD 14 the telescope of choice for permanent observatories, university and school astronomy labs, and serious deep-sky astrophotographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModern Telescopes is an authorized distributor of Celestron in India.
