The Celestron C14 SCT OTA - CGE comes from a long line of Celestron's famous schmidt-cassegrain telescopes, ranging from 8" to 14". The largest size, C14, is Fastar compatible. Now available as OTA only, you can mix-and-match your telescope tube and mount and tripod set-up to get exactly what you're after for what you're passionate about.

If you're interested in DSO imaging, a focal reducer is highly recommended for field correction and to offer a wider field of view. Attach a Fastar (sold separately) to further mprove your f-ratio for long exposure astrophotography.
