[Zipper] Just received my Origin from B&H and first light did not disappoint!

First, kudos to B&H for the stress free purchase. I have purchased many items from B&H and they have always been top notch with the entire purchasing process, thank you!

I’m not new to astrophotography and the rigs used to capture planets and DSOs but the ease of use and quality of images produced by the Origin are perfect for me!

Looking forward to using this scope to complete my DSO list!

[5.7 lb] This is a well made bag which I bought for my 8SE, leaving some extra room to add extra padding around the OTA. The bag is already padded with in-lining foam that is a bit less than 1/2 thick, There is room to store the tripod tray and a side pocket for cables etc...

[Empty] The product is excellent and reasonably priced. Service and shipping was fast and on time.

[Yes] Works perfectly with the tube of my Nexstar 8se. And still fits many accessories. I keep everything in one place now ready to go.

[5.7 lb] The quality of the bag is very excellent..The telescope tube can be inserted into the bag in two ways..There is a pocket that can add accessories..A shoulder strap is available for carrying

[5.7 lb] Fits the scope perfectly and provides two ways to load and unload it from the bag for you convenience. Excellent light-weight padding is provided on both ends as well as the body of the bag.

[Zipper] Very roomy and high quality

[5.7 lb] The Celestron Origin telescope is a versatile and user-friendly option for both beginners and intermediate astronomers. Here are some key points to consider:

Design and Build

The telescope boasts a sleek and sturdy design, making it both aesthetically pleasing and durable. It is a bit heavy but the design ensures easy portability, which is great for stargazing on the go.

Optics and Performance

Equipped with high-quality optics, the Celestron Origin delivers clear and sharp images of celestial objects. The telescope's aperture and focal length are well-balanced, providing excellent magnification and light-gathering capabilities. This makes it suitable for viewing planets, stars, and even deep-sky objects.

Ease of Use

One of the standout features of the Celestron Origin is its ease of use. The intuitive setup process and user-friendly app controls make it accessible for beginners. Additionally, the telescope comes with a manual and access to online resources, which can help you get the most out of your stargazing experience.

Value for Money

Considering its features and performance, the Celestron Origin offers excellent value for money. It provides a high-quality stargazing experience without breaking the bank, making it a great investment for amateur astronomers. I feel the price is within range of similar telescopes from competitors.

Conclusion

Overall, the Celestron Origin telescope is a reliable and efficient tool for exploring the night sky. Its combination of quality optics, ease of use, and price point should make it a popular choice among astronomy enthusiasts who are willing to spend a bit more.

[Empty] I only had the opportunity to use the Celestron Origin one time because the weather hasn't been great since receiving the telescope. Had some difficulty focusing when powered on, but that was due to the moon being nearly full and lots of haze in the air. Once it connected it found the object, M13 immediately, and I started imaging. I was impressed how quickly more and more of the globular cluster appeared on my iPad. However, the stars were streaked just a bit. After doing some research, it was pointed out that the scope needs to be perfectly level. I did have it leveled before mounting the tube, but in Florida ground that is pretty much sand, may have caused the telescope to settle a bit and threw off the guiding. Also, I found out that you should not image within' 5 degrees of the Zenith, or the stars will streak a bit. I kept getting communication messages that my link was poor. I read that you can use the TP-Link AC600 USB Wi-Fi Adapter in the USB 2 port and that will solve the issue.

I also imaged the Ring Nebula and Andromeda. I fairly certain that I can work out the bugs the next time I have the opportunity to image again.

Celestron finally posted a full manual that users can download and that really explains a lot of the operation of the Origin and the software.

I'm going to say that I really like the telescope and recommend it to people who want to get out and image celestial objects with ease.

[Empty] I've been into astronomy for decades but never was able to master the daunting task of deep sky photography. This Celestron Origin performed spectacularly right out of the box. I received the scope a week ago and have used it four times since, each time I was amazed at how well it captured the chosen targets. Exposure times were
Veil Nebula -36 minutes, Pinwheel Galaxy- 27 minutes, Lagoon Nebula- 15 minutes, Eagle Nebula 26 minutes, Trifid Nebula 10 minutes and Whirlpool Galaxy- 11 minutes
