Celestron Origin: Transforming Home Astronomy & Astrophotography
-
All-in-One Observatory: The Celestron Origin is an intelligent observatory system, perfect for home use. It quickly captures stunning deep-sky images and streams them directly to your smartphone or tablet, offering views that surpass those of larger telescopes.
-
Innovative RASA Optical Technology: Featuring the patented 6” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA), Origin provides exceptional image brightness and clarity with a large aperture and a fast f/2.2 focal ratio, requiring less exposure time.
-
AI-Powered Astrophotography: The telescope's built-in AI algorithms autonomously process and stack images in real-time, revealing galaxies and nebulae in sharp, vivid detail without the need for manual intervention.
-
Effortless Setup with StarSense: Origin simplifies the start-up process using Celestron’s StarSense technology. Just place it outside, turn it on, and connect to the app for a telescope that autonomously focuses, aligns, and is ready for imaging in under two minutes.
-
User-Friendly App Interface: Designed in partnership with Simulation Curriculum, the makers of SkySafari™, the Celestron Origin app offers a powerful and simple interface for navigating the sky and controlling the telescope.
-
Share Your Discoveries: The Origin app allows multiple users to view the telescope’s live feed at once. You can also broadcast the view to your smart TV or share your astroimages instantly.
-
Advanced Features for Growth: Download raw image files for manual processing, experiment with filters, and use Origin for both night-vision and day-time land-based observing, as your expertise in the hobby grows.
-
Portable and Complete System: The Celestron Origin comes with everything needed to start your astronomical journey, including a 6” RASA optical tube, mount with internal battery, built-in computer, and more, all in a portable setup.
-
Future-Ready with Continuous Upgrades: Count on Celestron’s commitment to developing further enhancements for Origin, ensuring your telescope remains at the forefront of amateur astronomy technology.
Celestron Origin is not just a telescope; it's an invitation to explore the universe from your backyard, merging the excitement of stargazing and the precision of astrophotography into one user-friendly and advanced home observatory system.
