Celestron Reducer Lens .7x EdgeHD 1100
Halve Your Data Collection Time with the Celestron Reducer Lens 0.7x EdgeHD 1100!
Concentrate your Celestron EdgeHD's performance down into a brighter and more expansive field of view with the Reducer Lens .7x EdgeHD 1100! Purpose built for the incredible 11" entry in the EdgeHD series, this reducer will maintain your scope's excellent astrophotography capabilities with its premium five element design. Transform your EdgeHD 1100 and experience a new take on the night sky with this powerful accessory from Celestron!
Celestron's EdgeHD series is known for its astrophotography prowess, and the 0.7x reducer carries on this excellence! Carefully crafted to provide the same stunning image performance, this reducer allows you to reduce time on target for the same amount of light and increase your field of view. At 0.7x reduction factor you'll experience a one full F-stop increase in image brightness which can allow you to collect a session's worth of data in half the time it would normally take! This also gives you a noticeably wider field of view, taking the stock 1100's 2800 mm focal length down to 1960 mm. When paired with an APS-C camera this allows you capture objects like the Pinwheel Galaxy and Wizard Nebula more in full than the intimate view of the stock FOV, or play with framing and add context to objects that would otherwise just fit like the Crescent Nebula and Bubble Nebula! This reduction effect is provided by a premium five lens optical design that features ED exotic Lanthanum elements for incredible contrast and minimal chromatic aberration across a 42 mm image circle!
Please Note: This reducer is only for the Celestron EdgeHD 1100 model. If you are looking to transform a different EdgeHD model, please be sure to check out Celestron's dedicated 0.7x 800, 925, and 1400 reducers!
Converting Your EdgeHD 1100 is Easy!
Wider and brighter view through your Celestron EdgeHD 1100 are just three short steps away with this 0.7x focal reducer, a compatible T-Adapter such as the standard Celestron T-Adapter or wide T-Adapter (T-Adapters sold separately), and standard 55 mm backfocus spacers or T-Rings! First, remove the visual back, adapter plate, and any other accessories you may have installed, from the telescope. Next connect the Celestron Reducer Lens 0.7x EdgeHD 1100 to the EdgeHD 1100's baffle nut. Finally, connect your T-Adapter to the 0.7x reducer and then attach your photography camera with the T-Ring, or your dedicated astro camera setup for 55 mm of backfocus. That's it, you've successfully converted your EdgeHD 1100!
Create Two Scopes in One with this Quality Reducer Corrector!
With a full extra F-stop of light gathering power and 43% wider field of view, adding the Reducer Lens .7x EdgeHD 1100 to your scope will bring out a different telescope in your setup!
Fast Focal Reduction
At 0.7x, this premium reducer
will transform your Celestron EdgeHD 1100's f/10 focal ratio into a
noticeably faster f/7! This is an increase of one full F-stop, equating to
a doubling of light for the same amount of exposure time. That means
you can acquire the same amount of data in half the time, revealing faint
details faster than before. This additionally increases your perspective on
deep sky objects by 43%! With this wider view on the night sky you'll be
able to take a step back and capture objects that couldn't quite fit in frame
before, gain more freedom in framing smaller objects, and reduce the number
of panels needed for mosaics. This power performance covers a 42 mm image
circle, comfortably covering sensors up to APS-C and covering the majority
of full-frame sensors. The Celestron Reducer Lens 0.7x for EdgeHD 1100
telescopes achieves all of this while maintaining the flat-field performance
this scope series is known for!
Premier Optics and Construction
Providing the 0.7x
reducer's optical excellence is a five lens design. This features
high-index, extra-low dispersion, exotic Lanthanum elements which provide
the image reduction while maintaining the EdgeHD's flat field and incredible
image detail, while minimizing chromatic aberrations; with multi-coatings
being added to all air-to-glass surfaces to support high transmission and
this color correction performance. Glass elements are additionally edge
blackened to reduce contrast lowering stray light effects from internal
reflections. The incredible optics packed in this reducer's CNC machined
aluminum housing have additionally been designed to maintain the EdgeHD
1100's stock 146 mm backfocus, making adding this to existing optical trains
and going back again incredibly easy!
