The Origin uses a 6” Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) optical design that places it in a class by itself. With its large aperture and fast f/2.2 focal ratio, you get incredible image brightness and clarity with less exposure time. RASA technology has become the go-to choice for serious astrophotographers. The Celestron’s optical engineers give you a bundle with all the same capabilities of an observatory-grade instrument in a grab-and-go package.

The Future in Astrophotography using AI

As the Origin telescope collects data, its built-in AI algorithms are hard at work. They meticulously compile and analyze each frame in real-time as you accumulate your images in a process known as live stacking.

Suddenly, galaxies and nebulae appear before your eyes. They are sharp, detailed, and filled with vibrant colours. This breathtaking view of the Universe unfolds in an instant.

The best part? All of this magic happens with minimal effort on your part. The Origin telescope and its integrated AI do the ‘heavy lifting’, leaving you free to marvel at the wonders of the night sky.
