Celestron Origin Mark II Intelligent Home Observatory

Building on the success of the original model, the Origin Mark II Intelligent Home Observatory from Celestron incorporates AI image processing and a new CMOS sensor from Sony to capture spectacular views of the cosmos. The Origin Mark II is built on Rowe-Ackerman Schmidt Astrograph, Celestron's groundbreaking design now in use worldwide to detect satellite-threatening space debris, set on a fully motorized and computerized GoTo mount. Simply open the Origin app on your phone or tablet, scan the sky, and select the object you wish to observe and photograph. The Origin will point to the star, cluster, or nebula and send rich, autofocused images to the screen of your device, tracking the object as it moves across the sky and refreshing with increasingly detailed exposures. Choose to hear the audio presentation for each object if you'd like more details. More advanced astro-imagers can download raw images via USB-A port for processing with third-party software, and a built-in holder accommodates 1.25 and 2" filters. The Origin sits on a full-height tripod with two-section legs.
