The Celestron RASA 11" V2 is every astrophotographer's dream.

The ultra-fast, ultra-wide Celestron RASA 11 V2 Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (OTA Only) is the perfect companion for serious astrophotography.

With a focal ratio of f/2.2 and a focal length of just 620mm, the RASA 11 V2 is incredibly fast, offering wide-field images with a large 43.3mm optimised image circle. Expect edge-to-edge clarity, even with the largest astroimaging sensors with diagonals of up to 52mm wide. This combination ensures the RASA is an optical instrument capable of creating astonishing mosaics of the night sky for astrophotography, for surveying and even for comet hunting.

Constructed with 4-element rare-earth glass.

The RASA 11 utilises a Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph optical design with 4-element rare-earth glass. As a result, images through a RASA are top-tier, free of false colour and aberrations such as coma or field curvature. The optical design ensures a remarkably small spot size and minimal vignetting - a result that is unprecedented for an astrograph in this price range.

For advanced astrophotography.

Celestron's RASA 11 V2 is a dedicated astrograph, with a number of advanced features for astrophotography. The V2 features the new Ultra-Stable Focus System (USFS), named appropriately for the precision linear ball bearing at the heart of the system. During focusing, USFS minimises unwanted lateral motion of the primary mirror (focus shift). When the telescope is pointed at different positions in the sky, the USFS bearing limits movement of the primary mirror (mirror flop). The RASA 11 V2 is also compatible with the Celestron Focus Motor for electronic focusing (no retrofit kit needed).

The RASA 11 V2 also features a 12V DC MagLev fan to provide optimal airflow and reduce cooldown time. The OTA is dust-filtered with vents and mesh filters to prevent dust ingress.

Every component of the 11 Rowe-Ackermann V2 is hand-picked by Celestron for optimal performance with both DSLRs and astronomical CCD cameras. From the thickness of the glass or the Dovetail CGE bars on the OTA, the RASA 11 V2 is the epitome of optical excellence.
