Celestron, renowned for its innovative optical devices, is stepping into the limelight at the
CP+2026 show, taking place from February 26 to March 1, 2026, in Yokohama, Japan. This marks the first instance of Celestron featuring as a standalone brand at one of the world's largest camera and imaging exhibitions, showcasing its latest advancements and products.
Background and Purpose of the Exhibition
For over fifty years, Celestron has been a front-runner in the optical equipment industry, specializing in telescopes and binoculars. Recent advancements in digital camera technology and the rising interest in astrophotography have made celestial observation more accessible than ever.

The aim is to engage not only traditional astronomy fans but also innovative digital camera users, presenting them with a unique opportunity to experience the wonders of the universe up close.
