The night sky, at f/2.2.
The smallest Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph ever built. Ultra-fast prime-focus optics, sub-arcsecond resolution and 3.8 kg of grab-and-go portability for serious deep-sky astrophotography, anywhere.
Professional optics. In a body you can carry with one hand.
Patented Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt architecture.
The RASA places the camera at prime focus, the same position used by professional wide-field survey telescopes. No secondary mirror, no Barlow, no lost light. More photons reach your sensor, in less time.
Since RASA technology debuted in 2014, defence contractors, professional researchers and governments have relied on it for space surveillance and satellite tracking. The RASA 6 delivers that same proven design in a portable package.
- Schmidt corrector plate and primary mirror minimise optical aberrations across the field
- Three-element rare-earth glass lens group ensures sharp, flat focus edge-to-edge
- Spot size under 1.5 μm RMS across the full image circle
NGC 6888. The Crescent Nebula.
Captured with the RASA 6 and an astronomical CMOS camera. Short sub-exposures stack into stunning images in a fraction of the time needed by slower instruments.
Four reasons it’s unlike anything else in its class.
Speed, resolution, portability and field of view, all engineered into one compact prime-focus astrograph.
Lightning-fast astrophotography at f/2.2.
The RASA 6’s blazing focal ratio dramatically shortens sub-exposure times. Faint deep-sky objects that would take hours with a typical refractor can be captured in a fraction of that time. Paired with live-stacking software, bright detailed images appear on your screen in just minutes. In many conditions you can image without an autoguider, simplifying your entire setup.
Sub-arcsecond potential.
Despite its compact size the 152 mm aperture delivers a Dawes resolution of 0.76 arc seconds. Pair it with a high-resolution CMOS camera in steady seeing and you will resolve fine structure in galaxies, nebulae and star clusters that smaller instruments cannot touch. The flat field means stars stay sharp from the centre all the way to the corner of the sensor.
Grab-and-go, genuinely.
At 3.8 kg the RASA 6 is light enough to carry with one hand and fits in a bag alongside your mount. The CG-5 dovetail means it drops straight onto most mid-range tracking mounts without adapters. Chase dark skies without compromising on optical performance. This is the astrograph you will actually take with you.
Wide field without sacrifice.
The RASA 6 is designed for sensors up to 22 mm diagonal, delivering a useable field of 3.76°. Wide enough to frame the Orion Nebula, the Pleiades and large emission nebulae in a single shot. Off-axis illumination of 91% at 8 mm means the field stays bright from edge to edge, reducing processing time on flats and vignette correction.
StarBright XLT. Maximum light throughput.
Every refractive and reflective surface is treated with Celestron’s proprietary StarBright XLT multi-layer coating. The result is exceptional light transmission and superior field illumination across the full wavelength range from 400 to 700 nm.
The RASA design outperforms a Schmidt-Cassegrain in Fastar-style configuration for field illumination. Less vignette, less processing, more imaging.
M42. The Orion Nebula.
IMX183C colour CMOS camera. 60 × 2 min exposures plus 20 × 15 sec exposures for the bright core. The wide field and fast optics of the RASA 6 capture the full extent of the nebula in a single frame.
Everything the modern astroimager needs, integrated.
A filter drawer, a cooling fan, a camera adapter and a CG-5 dovetail. Ready to image, straight out of the box.
1.25″ and 2″ filters. Without slowing you down.
The built-in filter drawer accepts both 1.25″ and 2″ filters. A removable 2″ clear optical window ships as standard. Unlike many fast astrographs, swapping in a filter adds no extra glass to the optical path, so f/2.2 performance is fully preserved.
Thermal equilibrium, fast.
The integrated 12V DC MagLev fan pulls air through mesh vents to rapidly cool the optical system to ambient temperature. Sharper stars and better images from the moment you start. The fan battery pack is included.
Plug a CMOS camera straight in.
The included M42 T-thread camera adapter attaches most popular astronomical CMOS cameras directly to the RASA 6 without extension tubes. The 42 mm clear aperture comfortably accommodates sensors up to 22 mm diagonal. Back focus with the included adapter is 17.5 mm.
Mount-ready, no adapters.
The CG-5 dovetail bar is compatible with a wide range of tracking mounts straight out of the box. No adapters, no Vixen-to-Losmandy conversions. Ready to image as soon as you saddle up. For maximum performance, add the optional Celestron Focus Motor for electronic focus control.
Results from the RASA 6.
Sample images taken with the RASA 6 and an IMX183C colour CMOS camera at f/2.2.

The map’s laminated design ensures it’s durable and weather-resistant, providing protection against dew, dirt, and the elements. It measures 64.5 cm x 27.9 cm when unfolded and folds to a portable 21.6 cm x 27.9 cm size. On the map, each lunar feature is cross-referenced by number, size, and description, making it easy to identify fascinating areas on the Moon’s surface. Whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or a beginner, the Orion Moon Map 260 is the perfect companion to guide your lunar observations, whether you're at home or on the go.
Bintel Moon Filter
Viewing the Moon through a telescope can often be overwhelming due to its intense brightness, which can obscure fine details. The Bintel Moon Filter reduces the Moon’s glare, allowing your eyes to relax and revealing more intricate features with greater clarity. Perfect for near-full Moon observations, this filter screws onto most 1.25” eyepieces in just seconds and enhances your overall lunar experience. It’s not only great for the Moon but also helps when observing bright planets like Venus or terrestrial scenes. (Note: this filter is not suitable for solar viewing.)
This kit is the perfect upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their lunar observations. With the Orion Moon Map 260 to guide your exploration and the Bintel Moon Filter to improve clarity, you'll be able to experience the Moon in a whole new way. It’s an ideal addition to your telescope setup, ensuring more detailed and enjoyable lunar views with every session.

The mount is solid too, greatly reducing the risk of unexpected movement of or even dropping your device. The angle and height can be freely adjusted to suit you and the KS-WL has an extension pole can be attached to extend the range of motion.
The Assist ARM series is accessories that was developed in collaboration with the camera tripod manufacturer SLIK.
In the recent years, as cameras have become increasingly sophisticated and precise in terms of technology, the camera industry demands greater and more secure support of such high-precise photographic equipment. One of the tools that can provide such secure support are of course tripods.
By teaming up with SLIK, a company that has a long tradition in making strong tripods for all kinds of cameras and that can withstand all kinds of environments, we were able to bring in their know-how and technology when designing the "Assist ARM" series, making it an accessory with high precision and outstanding stability.
Therefore, Kenko Assist ARM is designed not only to eliminate inconveniences when moving with a wheelchair, but also to ensure maximum user safety.
Firm and safe attachment for safety and convenience
The clamp that can be attached to the pipe of the wheelchair is made of aluminium and is very robust, so the risk of it suddenly coming off when the wheelchair is moving is extremely small.
The clamp can be attached to round pipes (17-32mm) and square pipes (Square: 22-28mm, Rectangle: short side 15-25mm / long side 25-28mm).
* When attaching to a pipe with a diameter of 17-22mm, a rubber tube (included) has to be used for a firm grip.
UNIVERSAL BALL-HEAD PROVIDES FREEDOM FOR ADJUSTMENT AND QUICK SET-UP
A universal ball-head provides freedom and allows precise adjustment.
The quick-release shoe also makes for a smooth set-up of gadgets such as iPad, iPhone, cameras, binoculars, and so on.
