Turning Every Backyard Observer into an Astroimager

Celestron Origin Mark II introduces a paradigm shift in astrophotography with its built-in AI algorithms. As the telescope captures data, these intelligent algorithms automatically process every frame in real time. It’s important to note that the AI imaging processing in the Origin app is not generative AI. It does not colorize or add to your image data in any way. It simply sharpens and enhances your images using the same processing techniques an advanced astroimager would use.

The images you create with Celestron Origin Mark II are 100 percent your own data, optimized to look its best. The technology works in real-time on your live-stacked images and is also applied to the final stacked master. The result is a breathtaking display of celestial objects, rich with colour and detail beyond what the human eye could perceive in an eyepiece. And you can always adjust the images yourself using the manual controls. Thanks to the Celestron Origin Mark II, astroimaging is now accessible to enthusiasts of all skill levels, including those who have never used a telescope before.

A Universe at Your Fingertips: StarSense Technology & the Origin App

Setting up Celestron Origin Mark II is a snap, thanks to its automated initialization process powered by StarSense technology.

Ready for More? Advanced Features

As you grow in the hobby alongside Celestron Origin Mark II, it will continue to support you with more advanced features and functionality. For example, Origin has a built-in filter drawer that accepts standard 1.25” and 2” format filters. This allows you to install optional filters, which can be especially useful in imaging nebulae in light-polluted environments like the typical suburban backyard. For imaging broadband objects like galaxies and star clusters or objects from dark skies, remove the filter for more light-throughput and brighter images. Experiment with removable and interchangeable filters for results you can’t achieve with other systems’ fixed filters.

If you would like to try advanced image processing, Celestron Origin Mark II again has you covered. It can automatically save all your raw images, which you can retrieve by plugging in a USB thumb drive or by connecting to Origin’s built-in WiFi network to download the files to your computer wirelessly. Then, import them into your favorite software for manual editing and stacking.

And how about putting Origin to work for you while you sleep? That’s no problem with the scheduled observations feature. Just tell the app which objects you want to capture. You’ll wake up to an array of spectacular images.

Expand Your Astroimaging Possibilities with Celestron Origin

Celestron Origin Mark II delivers stunning deep-sky images right out of the box. But for experienced astrophotographers interested in experimenting with longer manual exposure times, there’s now an exciting new way to fine-tune performance: equatorial wedge mode, enabled by the Wedge for NexStar Evolution and the optional StarSense Autoguider.

By aligning Celestron Origin Mark II with Earth’s rotational axis, the wedge eliminates field rotation during tracking. This enables longer sub-exposures and allows imaging near or at zenith—ideal for capturing fainter details with greater clarity, since zenith (straight up) is generally the darkest part of the night sky. As with any equatorial setup, polar alignment is required before use, but the app will take you through an automated routine that makes it easy.

For exposure times beyond 30 seconds, we recommend pairing the wedge with the StarSense Autoguider. While Celestron Origin Mark II excels at short exposures (10–15 seconds), automatically rejecting frames with minor tracking errors, the Autoguider boosts tracking precision for longer manual exposures—reducing rejected frames and maximizing image quality. Together, the equatorial wedge and StarSense Autoguider offer a powerful toolkit for advanced users pursuing specialized longer-exposure imaging.

Gain a New Perspective Here on Earth

In addition to revealing distant worlds, Celestron Origin Mark II can also capture incredible views of land-based objects on Earth, day or night. During the day, you can manually slew to capture landscapes and scenery. At night, Origin’s fast optics and sensitive camera allow you to see things in very dim ambient conditions for almost night-vision-like performance. Look around your yard or campsite at night to see what you may be missing!

Mosaic Mode:- Capture wider fields of view by stitching multiple images together.

A:
That’s correct. Because the human eye is less efficient than CMOS sensors at low light levels, we are removing it from the equation. Origin’s sensor “sees” more photons in less time than your eye could and then delivers the images it captures to your phone or tablet. The result is “almost real-time” visual observing without an eyepiece. With Origin, you see much more detail in faint, deep-sky objects than you would through the eyepiece of a much larger telescope under dark skies.

Solar Maximum is now happening - it's the perfect time to explore the ever changing featured on our nearest star.

The Sky-Watcher Heliostar 76Hα is a specialized prominence telescope designed with advanced safety features to protect the observer’s eyes. It incorporates multiple technologies, including an infrared thermal reflection film to effectively block heat and a dedicated ultraviolet (UV) filter to eliminate harmful rays. These features work in tandem to minimize stray light, ensuring a safe and enhanced viewing experience.

The Sky-Watcher Heliostar 76Hα is a specialized solar telescope designed for enthusiasts eager to explore the Sun’s dynamic features, particularly solar prominences. With a 76mm aperture and a focal length of 630mm (f/8.3), it offers a balanced combination of portability and detailed solar observation.

Key Features:

• Hydrogen-Alpha Observation: The  Heliostar 76Hα utilizes a combination of front and rear filters to isolate the hydrogen-alpha wavelength at 656.28 nanometers. This narrowband filtering, with a bandwidth of less than 0.5 angstroms, enables observers to view solar prominences and surface details with exceptional clarity.
• Advanced Optical Design: Incorporating multiple technologies to protect the observer’s eye, the telescope features a thermal infrared reflection film, a special heat-blocking filter, and an ultraviolet light-blocking filter. These components work together to eliminate stray light and ensure safe solar viewing.
• Precision Focusing: Equipped with a 2-inch Crayford focuser, the  Heliostar 76Hα allows for smooth and precise focusing adjustments, enhancing the overall observing experience.

The  Sky-Watcher Heliostar 76Hα is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced solar observers, offering a safe and detailed view of the Sun’s dynamic phenomena.

Etalon Filter Technology

At the heart of most Hydrogen Alpha solar telescopes lies the etalon filter, a highly precise optical device that isolates the Hα wavelength from the rest of the Sun’s emitted light. An etalon is a type of interferometer, consisting of two parallel mirrors separated by a precise distance. The etalon works by reflecting light multiple times between the mirrors, selectively allowing only wavelengths that satisfy specific resonance conditions to pass through.

In the case of Hα solar telescopes, the etalon is designed to transmit light at the Hα wavelength while blocking all other wavelengths. The key to the etalon’s performance lies in its ability to tune the wavelength it transmits. This is achieved by adjusting the distance between the mirrors or by slightly tilting the etalon, which changes the interference conditions. This tunability is crucial because the Sun's emission at Hα can shift slightly due to Doppler effects as material moves across the Sun’s surface and atmosphere.

There are two primary types of etalon filters used in solar telescopes: single etalon and double etalon systems.

Single Etalon: A single etalon filter typically has a narrower bandwidth, providing high contrast for detailed solar observations but at the cost of limiting the field of view. This makes single etalon systems well-suited for viewing small, high-contrast features like prominences or filaments.

Double Etalon: A double etalon system uses two etalon filters in tandem to improve the wavelength selectivity, reduce the overall bandwidth, and enhance the contrast and image clarity across a wider field of view. Double etalon systems are preferred for more detailed solar studies because they can offer both a sharper image and better tunability, allowing for a more accurate depiction of solar dynamics.

Solis Etalon Technology: Sky-Watcher's Solis technology allows the Heliostar to achieve a 0.5A bandpass without the costly expense and complexity of a second etalon to achieve the same performance. This allows the observer to obtain detailed images of the solar disk right out of the box without any further expense. 

Trifid Tuner: Inside the Heliostar is Sky-Watcher's Trifid tuning system. This tuner applies physical pressure to the etalon plates allowing the observer to reach the desired Hydrogen-band. The Trifid tuner uses three support veins to provide a secure tuning for the etalon. 

What does Hα mean?

The Sun is mainly composed of hydrogen which it's been busily converting to helium for billions of years and will do for some billions of years to come. Hydrogen gas is energised by the Sun's radiation and emits light on certain wavelength. Hα refers to where one of these wavelengths. 

Viewing the Sun through the Heliostar 76Hα lets you discover the Solar chromosphere which is the outer layer of the Sun's atmosphere in great details.

Rather than looking at the Sun in the intense white light we see with our eyes or via a regular solar filter which reduces the overall intensity of the Sun's light so it can be safely viewed with a telescope, a dedicated Solar telescope reveals such details as prominences on the edge of the Sun's disks,  filaments, sunspots and more. 

As the Sun is such a dynamic environment, what you'll see through this telescope will change from day to day.

Benefits of Strainwave Designs
The Sky-Watcher 150i mount uses astrain wave design, commonly referred to as a harmonic drive . These types of mount mechanics come packed with a number of advantages for astrophotography, including very accurate precision tracking which is ideal for longer exposure imaging, zero backlash and smoother motion for stable tracking, compact designs for easier transport and a relatively high payload to weight ratio to accommodate a much wider range of equipment.

15kg Payload Capacity
The Sky-Watcher Wave 150i weighs only 5.8kg, yet it can handle a payload of 15kg without counterweights and up to 25kg with a counterweight.

Transmission Ratio of 300:1 Ensures Smooth Slewing and Tracking
The Wave 150i has a transmission ratio of 300:1, which represents a relatively high level of tracking and slewing accuracy since motor torque and rotation is divided into smaller increments, lessening any impact of jolts between rotations that could be apparent the longer exposures become. The maximum slew rate of the 150i is 2400x (10° per second).

Works at any Latitude

The new CFW3 series filter wheels are available in four sizes to accommodate filters from 1.25-inch to 50 millimeters square.

For filter wheel control a custom QHY 4-pin filter wheel port is included that provides power and control signals for QHY dual control filter wheels like the series 3 filter wheels. Both the series 2 and new series 3 filter wheels can be controlled by either an independent external program using the filter wheel’s USB port or via the QHY 4-pin serial port. When connected to the QHY 4-pin port there is no need for an additional power cable or control program. All of the filter wheel functions are controlled through the camera and its operating Software.

The series 3 filter wheels utilize a new motor with direct drive and will reverse direction to take the shortest path when moving from one filter to another. For Example, in this demonstration the wheel moves from filter position 1 to position 2 to position 3 and then back to 1 again, over to position 7 and back to position 1 without ever making a complete rotation of the carousel. This saves time if you’re doing a lot of filter changes in one imaging session.

LED changes color for each filter position. The tricolor LED assigns one unique color or combination of colors to each filter position so you can tell if it’s moved to the correct position without removing it from the Telescope.

The CFW3 is also thin. This feature and the short back focus of the COLDMOS cameras means you can add one of several camera lens adapters for Canon and Nikon camera lenses for wide field imaging with the filter wheel.

In the center of the back plate is a 12-volt DC power port. This port is threaded for a short extension cable that is supplied with the camera that securely attaches such that it will not accidentally disconnect while you are imaging.

When placed over the front of a telescope, handy Orion PinPoint Telescope Focusing Masks make it easy to achieve quick and precise focusing without guesswork. Also known as Bahtinov masks, these focus aids feature a laser-cut slot pattern that produces a distinct, intersecting 3-line pattern once accurate focus is achieved in any type of telescope.

Orion PinPoint Focusing Masks will help astrophotographers save time and avoid frustrating, fuzzy results caused by slightly defocused exposures. With a PinPoint Mask installed on an imaging telescope, just focus on any bright star within or near the celestial object you want to photograph and adjust focus until the intersecting 3-line pattern is displayed indicating precise focus has been achieved. Wow, that was fast! Besides astrophotographic applications, PinPoint Focusing Masks are also useful for visual observations when fast, tack-sharp focusing is desired.

Three Orion-exclusive adjustable rubber-sleeved pegs equipped with thumbscrews clamp onto the outside of your telescope tube or dew shield to hold the PinPoint Mask firmly in place. Orion PinPoint Focusing Masks are easy to install and remove so you can achieve precise focus and quickly start capturing astrophoto exposures.

Each Orion PinPoint Focusing Mask can fit a range of telescope tube diameters. For example, this 178-213mm ID Orion PinPoint Focusing Mask will fit telescope tubes with an outer diameter ranging from 178mm to 213mm (7.0" to 8.38").

Made of laser-cut black plastic. Flat for easy storage and transport.

Limited Warranty against defects in materials or workmanship for one year from date of purchase. This warranty is for the benefit of the original retail purchaser only.

Specifications

Fujinon TECHNO-STABI binoculars brings the latest tech to stabilise and correct images.

Image High power doesn't need to mean shaky views.

If you've ever needed to hand hold higher power binoculars, you'll know hard it is to keep them steady, especially for long periods of time. It's even hard on a bumpy surface or on a boat. Now with the Fujinon TECHNO-STABI binoculars from BINTEL, forget for the shakes and enjoy the views!

You'll get to see high-power 16 times magnification views of birds, nature, sports, and concerts without the need for a tripod. Get in close but without the handshaking that sometime accompanies higher magnification.

The prism in the gimbal system is constantly stabilized when the electronic gyro sensor detects vibration, providing vibration correction at a wider range of angles than any other system. Views through the Fujinon TECHNO-STABI binoculars will be much steadier and clearer when you're on the go or need to follow a moving object.

Waterproof and dustproof

They're also a perfect companion for boating - the image stabilisation keeps distant view in focus even with the deck rocking under your feet during bumpy conditions. A bit of a splash or even if they fall into water won't harm Fujinon TECHNO-STABI binoculars.

Long life battery power

Fujinon TECHNO-STABI binoculars run for hours on end off either standard AA batteries that can find anywhere or rechargeable batteries. If the batteries go flat, you can still use the binoculars. It's just the image stabilisation that stops working.
