Celestron RASA 11 V2 Astrograph – 11" f/2.2 (CGE Dovetail)
DESCRIPTION
The RASA 11 V2 (Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph) by Celestron is an ultra-fast f/2.2 imaging telescope, purpose-built for deep-sky astrophotography. With a generous 279 mm aperture and a short 620 mm focal length, it offers a large, flat imaging field optimized for sensors up to 52 mm diagonal.
Its 4-element rare-earth glass corrector delivers stunningly sharp stars free of coma, field curvature, and chromatic aberration. The telescope maintains pinpoint stars across the entire image circle, with less than 4.4 μm RMS spot size, ensuring exceptional image quality even at the edges of large-format sensors.
At the heart of the system is the Ultra-Stable Focus System (USFS), which uses a precision linear bearing to prevent focus shift and mirror flop. Combined with a 12V MagLev cooling fan and dust-protected vents, the system maintains thermal equilibrium and stable performance throughout imaging sessions.
The optical tube is made from lightweight yet rigid aluminum. Dual CGE dovetail bars are integrated for compatibility with heavy-duty equatorial mounts and additional accessories.
The RASA 11 V2 is strictly for imaging and does not support visual use. The camera is mounted directly at the front of the optical train at prime focus. T-thread (M42) and M48 adapters are included, and the standard backfocus is 55 mm from the adapter or 72.8 mm from the collar.
This astrograph is ideal for creating mosaics, capturing faint wide-field targets, or comet hunting—particularly with CMOS or full-frame CCD cameras.
