Описание
Телескопы CGEM – новое поколение автоматизированных компьютерных телескопов. Инструменты серии CGEM объединяют достоинства инструментов с большой апертурой и современных монтировок с автоматическим наведением на небесные объекты.
Оптика EdgeHD – это апланатические телескопы Шмидта, разработанные с учетом требования обеспечения изображений без аберраций по широкому визуальному и фотографическому полю зрения. Эта оптическая схема уменьшает не только внеосевую кому, но также дает плоскую фокальную плоскость фотографического качества, вплоть до края поля зрения.
Многие оптические схемы, которые рекламируются как имеющие «астрографическое» качество изображения, на самом деле дают четкие изображения звезд на искривленном поле. Это может быть приемлемо для визуальных наблюдений, но в случае применения плоского сенсора цифровой камеры, звезды ближе к краю поля зрения будут выглядеть несфокусированными. Оптика EdgeHD дает в три раза более плоское поле, чем обычный телескоп Шмидта-Кассегрена, и заметно более плоское, чем конкурирующие схемы с исправленной комой. Это гарантирует четкие изображения звезд по всей площади даже самых крупных на сегодня ПЗС-сенсоров.
Новичок в астрономии может начать использование телескопа со встроенной функции «Экскурсии по небу»- в этом режиме телескоп автоматически наводится на наиболее интересные объекты неба. Опытный наблюдатель оценит мощную базу данных телескопа — более 40 тысяч небесных объектов, включая наиболее интересные объекты глубокого космоса, яркие двойные и переменные звезды.
Независимо от вашего уровня увлечения астрономией, телескопы серии CGEM откроют вам многие чудеса Вселенной.

StarBright XLT
Свет – это главная ценность для астронома-наблюдателя, поэтому главная задача телескопа – собирать как можно больше света. И чем меньше внутренние потери за счет поглощения и отражения света на оптических компонентах телескопа – тем эффективнее он работает.
В течение долгого времени во многих телескопах, выпускаемых компанией Celestron, применялось высокоэффективное многослойное просветление StarBright, позволяющее в значительной мере уменьшить внутренние потери света в телескопе. Тщательные замеры показывают, что общее пропускание света в диапазоне 400-750 нм у телескопов, оснащенных просветлением StarBright, равно 72%, а на наиболее важных для наблюдателя длинах волн пропускание света достигает 80%.
Однако технология не стоит на месте. Разработанная инженерами Celestron система оптического просветления нового поколения StarBright XLT позволила увеличить общее пропускание света в телескопах на 16% по сравнению с просветлением StarBright.
Улучшения были достигнуты по следующим направлениям:
- Многослойное покрытие зеркал.На главное и вторичное зеркала телескопа наносятся покрытия из аккуратно наносимых слоев алюминия (Al), кварца (SiO2), двуокиси титана (TiO2) и снова кварца. Эта комбинация дает ровное отражение по всему диапазону длин волн, используемых при визуальных и ПЗС-наблюдениях. Зеркала с XLT-просветлением отражают 95% света, тогда как обычные зеркала с алюминиевым слоем – всего 86-88%.
- Многослойное антиотражающее покрытие. Покрытие изготавливается из наносимых с прецизионной точностью слоев фтористого магния (MgF2) и двуокиси гафния (HfO2). Редкий и дорогой (около $2000 за килограмм) элемент гафний позволяет уменьшить отражение света в более широком диапазоне, чем титан, используемый в антиотражающих покрытиях других производителей.
- Корректор из оптического стекла (в телескопах Шмидта-Кассегрена). Для максимизации пропускания света корректорные пластины телескопов системы Шмидта-Кассегрена модификации XLT изготавливаются из оптического стекла высокой прозрачности. В сочетании с XLT-покрытием корректор из оптического стекла пропускает 97,4% света.
Ниже приведен сравнительный график пропускания света в оптическом диапазоне телескопами, имеющими просветление StarBright и StarBright-XLT. По горизонтальной оси отложены длины волн, по вертикальной – процент пропускания света:
