Reimagined In the 1970s Celestrons Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the worlds premier telescope maker. The founder Tom Johnson invented Celestrons proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Four decades later Celestrons improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features while staying true to their founders intent.
