Celestron C14-AF XLT 14" f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (OTA Only, CGE Dovetail)

Outfitted with an oversized aperture, long effective focal length, and their proprietary StarBright XLT optical coatings, the Celestron C14-AF XLT 14" f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope provides high power and portability. The coating system consists of anti-reflection coatings on the corrector plate, highly reflective index mirror coatings, and low-absorption/high-transmission glass components to ensure that the maximum amount of light is gathered and transmitted to your eye. This system ensures bright and clear high-contrast images with accurate color rendition across the entire visual spectrum without visible distortion at the edges. Celestron includes a standard-thread 2" visual back and reducer adapter to accept eyepieces and accessories such as the 1.25" 40mm eyepiece and 2" 90° diagonal supplied with the optical tube assembly (OTA). This OTA is offered here without a mount or tripod for users who already have a support system. Just ensure the mount's payload capacity exceeds 45 pounds to safely carry the weight and that the mount has a Losmandy-style saddle to match the OTA's CGE mounting plate.
