Capture the red planet in stunning high resolution during opposition. Mars will light up the night sky during its epic opposition this summer. Peaking on July 27, this opposition promises to be the best and brightest since 2003. There’s no better time to gear up with a high resolution Celestron imaging system. Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD optics are perfect for capturing Mars’ polar ice caps and surface details with excellent contrast, high resolution, and large image scale. Pair one of these optical tubes with our upgraded CGEM II mount for an all-in-one Mars imaging kit. After the opposition is over, you can use this versatile system for superior planetary and deep sky imaging for years to come. Don’t miss it! mounts and packages are on sale for the month of April.
