Celestron Origin Intelligent Home Observatory. This intelligent all-in-one home observatory takes the complexity out of traditional telescopes transforming your backyard into a gateway to the cosmos. Packed with cutting-edge technology Celestron Origin captures the beauty of celestial objects and brings them to life on your phone or tablet. Celestron engineers drew on their decades of expertise while designing every detail from Origins patented optical technology to its intuitive companion app. The result is a revolutionary new system that builds on Celestrons legacy and makes astronomy more accessible exciting and fun than ever before. RASA Optical Technology: Unleashing the Power of Light At the heart of Celestron Origin lies the patented Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA)a landmark advancement in optics. In the RASA design the imaging sensor lies at the front of the telescope tube not the back creating an ultra-fast f/2.2 system with an extraordinarily wide field of view while providing sharp images to the edge. Since it launched in 2014 RASA technology has become the go-to choice for space surveillance and satellite tracking. National defense contractors professional research astronomers and governments trust RASA to detect tiny pieces of debris and space junk keeping our vital communications satellites safe in orbit. For Origin Celestrons optical engineers developed a brand-new 6 RASA with all the same capabilities of an observatory-grade instrument in a grab-and-go package. Thanks to RASA Origin is in a class of its own far outperforming other telescope designs. RASA simply delivers more photons in less time than a smaller and slower Newtonian reflector refractor or other entry-level telescope tube. RASAs unique combination of speed aperture and performance ensures unparalleled image detail even during short exposure times. To take full advantage of the RASA optics Celestron selected the Sony IMX178 color CMOS sensor to capture your data. It features STARVIS back-illuminated technology for the highest sensitivity and fast readout with low noise helping to provide clear images as quickly as possible. This sensitive chip has small 2.4m2 pixels for high resolutiona perfect match for the fast optical design. Turning Every Backyard Observer into an Astroimager Celestron Origin introduces a paradigm shift in astrophotography with its built-in AI algorithms. As the telescope captures data these intelligent algorithms automatically stack and process every frame in real time. The result is a breathtaking display of celestial objects rich with color and detail. For the first time astroimaging is accessible to enthusiasts of all skill levels including those who have never used a telescope. A Universe at Your Fingertips: StarSense Technology & the Origin App Setting up Celestron Origin is a snap thanks to its automated initialization process powered by StarSense technology. Place Origin outside turn it on and connect to the app. Then you can choose to remain with your telescope or head indoors. In less than two minutes Origin focuses itself scans the night sky autonomously aligns itself by matching star patterns overhead to its internal database and notifies you that its ready to begin your astronomical adventure. The Celestron Origin Powered by SkySafari app developed in collaboration with Simulation Curriculum offers an intuitive planetarium interface that simplifies navigation through the night sky. Using the planetarium view hold your device up to the sky to look around using compass mode and tap on any object you want to see (the best ones are highlighted). Or try the Tonights Best list where Origin displays all the most impressive galaxies nebulae star clusters and morebased on your precise location and observing time. Forget about consulting a star chart or planning ahead; Origin is ready to show you the universe whenever you are. Once youve chosen a target Origin centers it precisely in the field of view. Switch to the camera view and press Start Imaging to begin capturing 10-second exposures. Its that easy You see the results come through in real-time as the target takes on more and more detail. As Origin works it continually tracks the sky and adjusts its built-in dew prevention system to keep your images razor-sharp. A Shared Cosmic Experience Gone are the days of waiting in line to peer into an eyepiece. Origin fosters a sense of community as you share the awe-inspiring experience of exploring the night sky together. Whether your friends and family are in the same room or gathered outside multiple people can connect to Origin and stream the view with their own devices. Additionally Origin allows you to cast the live feed to your smart TV or instantly save and share your astroimages creating memorable moments beyond the confines of your backyard. Ready for More?
