Hyperion Telescope Production Begins!
We've begun the assembly of the first production Hyperion 12.5" f/8 telescopes. The Hyperion is the most state-of-the-art astrographic telescope available. Standard features include an instrument rotator, temperature-compensating autofocuser, integrated telescope control panel, cooling fans, dew heaters, and wireless control of all electronic features! Optically, the Hyperion is no slouch either: it has a 70mm flat aberration-free field of view, giving pinpoint stars across the full field of any CCD. Check out all the info on the Hyperion website or visit the Hyperion product page.

Celestron EdgeHD Telescopes
Celestron has announced a new optical design, the Edge HD. The design modifies a standard SCT design by producing a coma-free, flat field of view. Get true astrograph quality with the Edge HD series. The Edge HD scopes come standard with removeable secondary mirrors for HyperStar compatibility, allowing imaging at a fast f/2!
