Subject: Re: New Celestron Scopes shown at RTMC

I saw them, but didn't get a chance to look through them.  They've apparently got correctors either in the 2ndary holder or in front of the focuser, similar to the Vixen scopes, but they've still got the full aperture corrector.

I spent way too much money there this year!

Hi Folks;

Did anyone on the list attend RTMC and have a look at the new prototype "Edge HD" Celestron scopes?

There's been a bit of news on the sct-user list, but I haven't seen anything since.

Images form them for large format cameras look really impressive (also useful for off axis guiders to minimize star distortion):
