Celestron Nexstar 8SE 203mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope Wifi Kit

"Celestron NexStar 8SE SCT GoTo Telescope Celestron's signature orange-tube telescope combines advanced features and excellent optics in one easy-to-use system, the NexStar 8SE. It's the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price. Reimagined In the 1970s, Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world's premier telescope maker. The founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron's proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers. Four decades later, Celestron improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to their founder's intent. Revolutionary Design The best telescope is the one you will use most often. That's why Celestron's engineers created NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount. It's perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What's more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You'll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site or setting it up quickly in your backyard. Of course, it's what's inside the mount that counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components gives NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40, 000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible. Advanced Features The NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign. Its built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. You can even remove the telescope's secondary mirror and replace it with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera for wide-field images captured at f/2 using a Fastar/HyperStar lens assembly. Or, if you're interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 8SE with one of Celestron's Skyris cameras. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.
