Description

Celestron Origin stands at the forefront of a new era in amateur astronomy, blending stargazing and astrophotography into a single, user-friendly experience. This intelligent, all-in-one home observatory takes the complexity out of traditional telescopes, transforming your backyard into a gateway to the stars. Packed with cutting-edge technology, Celestron Origin captures the beauty of celestial objects and brings them to life on your phone or tablet. With the patented Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) at its core, Celestron Origin boasts an ultra-fast f/2.2 system and a wide field of view. To take full advantage of the RASA optics, Celestron placed a Sony IMX178 color CMOS sensor on the front cell. The Origin has built-in AI algorithms that automatically stack and process every frame in real time resulting in breathtaking display of celestial objects, rich with color and detail. Setup is effortless. Thanks to StarSense technology, the fully automated initialization procedure is complete in under two minutes. Origin focuses itself, scans the night sky, autonomously aligns itself by matching star patterns overhead to its internal database. The Origin app for iOS and Android offers an intuitive planetarium interface that simplifies navigation through the night sky. Once you’ve chosen a target, Origin slews to it and centers it precisely in the field of view. On the app, switch to the camera view and press Start Imaging to begin capturing 10-second exposures. Origin supports multiple users, allowing streaming, smart TV connectivity, and the instant sharing of your images. If that wasn’t enough, Origin’s mount contains a built-in LiFePO4 battery and integrated WiFi so you can use it anywhere—even without an external WiFi connection. Additionally, Origin features a smart dew prevention system, a filter drawer for 1.25” and 2” filters, and more. Portable and versatile, Celestron Origin redefines the astronomical experience.

I've been engaged in astrophotography for a little over a decade. I've got the big rigs (C14, C8, ED 120, ED 80, 8inch Dob, solar telescope, Maksutov, etc...) and I love all of them! However, my biggest problem has been twofold: 1. A lack of time due to running my own business in the construction field. and 2. Geographically, I live in a bit of a hole meaning I can only get a rough polar alignment with my German equatorial mounts and can't reliably use a guide scope. In other words, I'm limited where I live to about 20-90 second exposures on any of my rigs (depending on scope, weight, etc..) with my DSLR. While that has served me well, it's laborious (my C14 and CGX mount with counterweights is around 225 lbs) and VERY time-consuming (all the exposures, dark calibration frames, processing, not to mention breaking everything down). As such, I've kinda neglected deepsky imaging for the past couple of years and focused more on planetary/solar/lunar as it's much quicker. All of that said, I've imaged more deep sky targets in the past two weeks than I have in the past 5 years!!! Being at F2.2, this optical system (the RASA scope) is photographically very fast. If my math is correct, I'd gather roughly the same amount of light with this system in a 10 second exposure (the default here mostly due to the Alt-Az mount) as I would with an over 4 minute exposure on one of my F10 or F11 systems. Not only is it 25 times faster photographically than some of my other systems (think about the time saved!!!), it's on-board CPU and AI processing auto-stacks and processes the images! Naturally, you can put the raws on a jump drive and process yourself (I did some quick phone post process with what the Origin gave me in my attached pics, but nothing fancy), but I think I'm going to see what this thing can do out-of-the box default before I try to add any to it as it's quite staggering. Given my years and frustrations with the hobby/endeavor, I'd say the 4k price tag, while steep for many, is well worth every bit of currency! Add to the fact that Celestron built this thing with upgrades in mind (software, EQ mount, new camera), and this thing just keeps on giving. I wouldn't say, despite some marketing, that this thing is for complete astronomy beginners. By no means. If you have never operated a telescope and know nothing about the night sky, I'd say buy some binoculars, a star chart, and spend the next 6 months to a year becoming familiar with our place in the cosmos. However, if you know a bit about astronomy but little to nothing about astrophotography, this thing will probably be a breeze for you especially if you're even a little tech savvy and/or have photography experience (like with photoshop, light room, etc...). Perhaps a total beginner would have success with it, but I'm not ready to make that claim across the board. However, if you've spent WAAAAAYYYYYYY too much time like me (time you have in little supply) pursuing deepsky objects and want something quick, intuitive, and, most of all, FUN!!!!, this thing is for you. I absolutely love it and it's made me fall in love with astrophotography all over again!!! ... show more

    • Magnificent!
I am a very young astronomer who developed an interest in astronomy just last year. At first, I was pressuring my parents to buy a pair of Celestron Binoculars. After further research, I decided to buy a $470 SkyWatcher Virtuoso GTI 150P. I LOVED looking at the moon, as well as galaxies. But after getting into astronomy, I looked at these incredible images of deep sky objects, (Especially the Eagle Nebula) wondering how people created these images. So, I put up my phone to Markarian's Chain. Instead of a colorful, highly detailed image, all I got was a low quality blur, and I couldn't even tell the difference between stars and galaxies. So I tried to find my issue. After learning the process of long exposure shots and stacking, I thought Astrophotography would be a very time consuming, hard-to-learn hobby. I wanted to be able to capture a beautiful picture of our night's sky easily in 5 minutes. So that is where smart telescopes come in. I probably looked at 1000 CloudyNights threads from other people. I love to hear other people's perspective on which telescope they prefer the most. After watching hours of videos, I was deciding between the Seestar S50 and the Celestron Origin. The Seestar and Origin are wildly different telescopes. The most obvious difference between the two was the price. The Seestar is $500 while the Origin is $4000! I thought, "Is the Origin really THAT MUCH better?" After begging my parents, I finally purchased Origin. Origin is UNMATCHED! The picture quality is incredible! Colors POP, yet aren't unrealistic! Don't even sweat about light pollution, even in bortle seven skies, the image quality does not lack. it is incredibly easy to take around and set up, I would recommend getting an Origin travel bag. all you have to do, is pop the stand up, put the mount on, put the optical tube on, and you're practically ready to image. No alignment needed! if you have the money, buy it! Astronomy has never been easier and more powerful! 10/10 Would DEFINITLY recommend! ... show more
