CELESTRON ORIGIN INTELLIGENT OBSERVATORY

Description

Celestron Origin stands at the forefront of a new era in amateur astronomy, merging stargazing and astroimaging into a single, intelligent system. Its fast f/2.2 6” RASA astrograph delivers crisp and bright images with short exposures. StarSense handles automatic alignment and focusing, while AI stacks and processes frames in real time.

The Sony IMX178 color CMOS sensor with STARVIS technology captures high-resolution, low-noise images. With the dedicated SkySafari™ app, users can select targets, adjust image settings, and share results instantly. The intuitive interface includes compass mode, "Tonight’s Best" list, and live view controls.

Origin includes a filter drawer, internal battery, auto-focuser, dew prevention system, full tripod, and WiFi. It supports day/night use, terrestrial imaging, and advanced manual processing. Expandability options include equatorial wedge, autoguiding, and scheduled observations.
