Discover the fun and excitement of astroimaging the easy way with the acclaimed Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) telescope and two indispensable imaging filters: the Light Pollution Filter and Hα-Hβ-OIII Filter.

But we're well aware of the challenges our favorite hobby can sometimes involve: trekking long distances to dark skies, precisely aligning and guiding an equatorial mount, and capturing hours of very long exposures to gather enough photons to see the spiral arms and faint details of our favorite celestial objects. In a quest to solve all those challenges, our engineers joined forces with storied optical designers Dave Rowe and Mark Ackermann to create RASA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile a traditional SCT telescope places the imaging sensor at the Cassegrain focus at the rear of the telescope, RASA places the sensor at the prime focus at the front of the telescope. Instead of imaging at f\/10 like you do with an 8\" Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT), RASA works at lightning speed, f\/2—25 times faster! In 10 minutes with RASA, your image is as bright as it would be in 4+ hours with an SCT (albeit with a wider field of view).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen you image with a RASA 8, you can use much shorter exposure times. Add a sensitive camera and the proper \"live stacking\" software, and the 8\" RASA can provide an almost real-time \"observing\" experience—even from the city. View images on a computer in seconds that are brighter and more detailed than you'd see through a much bigger telescope with the naked eye. Or capture and stack lots of short exposures and process the data; you'll be stunned at the details you can bring out.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat's more, RASA's speed lessens the tracking demands on your mount. You’ll be using shorter sub-exposures so you won't need to track accurately over extended periods. In many cases, you won't even need to use an autoguider. And since RASA 8 weighs just 17 lb, it pairs perfectly with a wide variety of mounts, including the grab-and-go Advanced VX.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough RASA has revolutionized the world of astroimaging, its influence goes far beyond astroimaging. Researchers and government agencies around the world have discovered that RASA is the ideal tool for detecting errant space junk and asteroids. Arrays of RASAs are deployed worldwide, scanning the skies and protecting our satellites in orbit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlat-field Performance Perfectly Paired with Today's Cameras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 8\" RASA delivers a flat field without optical aberrations for razor-sharp stars across a wide field of view. It can capture detailed deep-sky astronomical images at a fraction of the cost of other slower and smaller telescope designs, like refractors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe RASA 8\" has many of the same thoughtfully designed features as its \"big brother\" RASA 11, including the integrated air-cooling system, internal filter mount, and sturdy CGE dovetail mounting bar. Purely designed for imaging, the 8\" RASA cannot be used visually. The focal plane is located at the front of the optical system, so it cannot accommodate a traditional eyepiece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike the 11\" and 14\" RASA, which both work with DSLR and large astronomical cameras, we designed the 8\" model with color astronomical CMOS cameras, smaller CCD cameras, and mirrorless cameras in mind. (RASA 8 does not work with standard DSLR cameras.) It is optimized for sensors with up to a 22mm diagonal but performs well with sensors up to a 32mm diagonal. The APS-C sized sensors used in many mirrorless cameras are a good choice. Note that 42mm full-frame sensors can also work, but performance diminishes at the edges of the sensor, and field illumination is reduced. We don't recommend pairing RASA 8 with any camera body more than 4\" in diameter. See the chart below to determine if your camera is compatible with RASA 8.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-Stable Focus System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the launch of the 8\" RASA, Celestron unveiled a new focuser design that mitigates lateral movement of the primary mirror when focusing, slewing, or tracking with the astrograph.

When you add this filter to your RASA, you'll see vibrant, detailed celestial objects that \"pop\" against a dark sky background with excellent overall contrast. This filter blocks light from some of the most common sources of artificial and natural light pollution between 400 and 700 nm (i.e., the visible spectrum), including high- and low-pressure sodium-vapor streetlights, mercury-vapor streetlights, and natural airglow caused by oxygen in the atmosphere. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike some light pollution filters, Celestron's filter blocks only specific areas of the spectrum instead of wide regions. This helps to maintain image brightness and color balance. In addition, particular wavelengths associated with emission nebulae, such as H-α (656nm), H-β (486nm), OIII (496nm and 501nm), and SII (672nm), are highly transmitted, ensuring minimal loss of image brightness for those objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/files\/91079_RASA_8_Imaging_Kit_09_480x480.jpg?v=1709168591\" alt=\"Light Pollution Filter, RASA 8\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eH-alpha H-beta OIII (Hα-Hβ-OIII) Imaging Filter – \u003c\/strong\u003eThe specialized Hα-Hβ-OIII Imaging Filter, also known as the Nebula Filter, is a narrowband filter that allows very high transmission of select wavelengths of light from emission nebulae while blocking the rest of the spectrum.
