Celestron 0.7x EdgeHD 1400 reducer (#94240)

Celestron EdgeHD 1400 0.7x focal reducer (Celestron, SKU: 94240). The Celestron EdgeHD 1400 0.7x is a focal reducer designed for the EdgeHD 14" telescope. It shortens the focal length to 0.7 of its original value and increases the field of view by approximately 43%, while maintaining the EdgeHD system’s flat-field correction. The five-element optics include lanthanum-glass lenses, housed in CNC-machined aluminium.
