Скоро приедет новая няшка, для моего нового хобби))) :: Управляемая кома

И так, дамы и господа! Скоро ожидается безкомпромиссное решение для астрофото! Объективы в прошлом, переходим на новый уровень. Заказан Celestron 1400 с EDGE HD системой (управляемая кома).

Ожидается через месяцок))))правда придётся ещё разобраться, как делать крутые снимки. Вот примеры снимков с такого оборудования:

General Features

• 14 EdgeHD Optics
• Celestron premium StarBright XLT coatings
• CGE PRO computerized Equatorial mount
• Heavy Duty stainless steel tripod adjustable from 38 — 55
• 950 finderscope with quick release bracket to help accurately find objects
• 2 Star diagonal provides more comfortable viewing position when observing objects that are high in the sky

HD Features

• New aplanatic Schmidt telescope design produces aberration-free images across a wide field of view
• Mirror tension locks hold the primary mirror in place and reduce image shift
• Cooling vents allow hot air to be released from behind the primary mirror
• Fastar compatible for fast f/2 imaging

Computerized Mount Features

• Proven NexStar computer control technology
• 40,000 object database with over 100 user-definable objects and expanded information on over 200 objects
• New All-Star Polar Alignment routine for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres
• Software Features include: Database Filter Limits, Hibernate, five alignment methods and user-defined slew limits
• Custom Rate 9 feature allows you set maximum slew rate
• Tandem mode allows you to star align the mount even when positioned for tandem scope use
• Flash upgradeable hand control software and motor control units for downloading product updates over the Internet
• Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable stars; solar system objects and asterisms
• Double line, 16-character Liquid Crystal Display Hand Control with backlit LED buttons for easy operation of goto features
• 12 VDC Servo Motors with integrated optical encoders
• Permanent Programmable Periodic Error Correction (PEC) — corrects for periodic tracking errors inherent to all worm drives
• Drive Motors — High quality motors with seven slot skewed armature to minimize magnetic cogging for quiet operation and long life. Precision made cut-steel gears in gearbox for improved tracking precision
• Bearing and Shaft — Main shafts are made from 1.57 diameter steel tubing with .40 wall thickness with two preloaded 2.68 O.D. tapered roller bearings on each axes
• Precision worm drive system — .75
• Spring loaded DEC worm to minimize backlash and make guiding easy
• 4 point RA and DEC clutch system for no-slip pointing precision
• Autoguide port, PC port and Auxiliary ports located on the electronic pier for long exposure astrophotography
• Latitude range: 10° to 65° Northern or Southern Hemispheres
• RS-232 communication port on hand control to control the telescope via a personal computer
• Includes NexRemote telescope control software, for advanced control of your telescope via computer
• GPS-compatible with optional SkySync GPS Accessory (93969)
