Celestron EdgeHD 1100 and the Orion HDX110

This gallery is for displaying images produced using the 11" Celestron EdgeHD telescope mounted on an Orion HDX110/Skywatcher EQ8 German equatorial Mount.
All images were taken from Rusty Mountain Observatory in Gold Canyon, Arizona. (See https://pbase.com/wjshaheen/rusty_mountain_observatory_ii )

Some configurations, such as for deep sky objects, will include use of the Celestron .7x focal reducer designed specifically for their EdgeHD telescopes and yielding a focal length of 1960mm at f/7.

For prior imaging platform/configuration, see here: https://pbase.com/wjshaheen/celestron_edgehd_1400__paramountmx
