Celestron Origin (Smart-Scope-at-Home)
Stargazing and astroimaging redefined: Celestron Origin
is a smart, all-in-one home observatory that captures
stunning images of faint celestial objects and transmits them
to your phone or tablet. The images you capture in
seconds look better than what you would see through
the eyepiece of a much larger telescope under a much darker
sky.
Revolutionary RASA optical technology: Origin’s patented
optical 6″ Rowe-Ackermann-Schmidt Astrograph (RASA) design is in a
class of its own. With its large aperture and fast
focal ratio of f/2.2, you get unparalleled
image brightness and clarity with less exposure time.
Automated, AI-powered astrophotography: While the Origin captures data
, the built-in AI algorithms autonomously stack and process each
image in real time. Galaxies and nebulae are instantly brought to
life – sharp, detailed and in brilliant color – all
without user intervention.
Automated setup with StarSense: Place the Origin outside at
, turn it on and connect it to the app to get started
. With Celestron’s patented StarSense technology
, Origin scans the sky and focuses and aligns itself
automatically. In less than two minutes, you’re ready to select a target
and start shooting.
Intuitive app interface: The user-friendly Celestron Origin
app for iOS (requires IOS 16.6 or later) and Android (requires
Android 12 or later), developed in collaboration with Simulation
Curriculum, the makers of SkySafari, provides a
simple yet powerful planetarium interface that makes it easy to
navigate the sky and control the system.
Share the view with everyone: Multiple users can use the Origin-
app to view the telescope’s live feed simultaneously at
. You can also broadcast the view to your smart TV or save
and share it instantly.
Advanced features: As you gain experience in the hobby, you can download
the captured raw image files to further edit them manually
. You can also experiment with filters and use Origin
for night vision or daytime observation from land
.
