Celestron C8 Next Star Motorized Telescope

Description: The NexStar 8 (with appropriate optional hardware) is also suitable for short-exposure imaging of planets, the moon or the Sun (with a suitable filter). Some of the features found in the Celestar 8 Deluxe and Ultima 2000 Computer Controlled telescopes that suit them better to long-term "Deep Sky" astrophotography ("Fastar" capability, CCD auto guider port, Periodic Error Control, etc.), and manual controls were purposely omitted on the NexStar in order to provide the same high quality of SCT view which Celestron is known to be capable of, with the "Go-To" capability at moderate cost. This is also the first telescope we have seen come out of Celestron where it seems that a highly competent styling designer was consulted; it is a very attractive telescope with nicely made, finished, and well-fitted components. Sophisticated Simplicity: The NexStar operating system is sophisticated in its engineering and programming, this is in order to make the resulting observing experience nearly 'idiot proof' - simple and fun to use. Set up is quick, inspiring you to take the telescope out more often while leaving you time to enjoy yourself and your observing. The complete telescope optical tube assembly with the single tine fork mount (a first for the 8-inch SCT) and the standard telescope weighs just about 21.5 lbs. (9.8 kg), making it a manageable and portable option. The furnished lightweight aluminum field tripod adds another 10 lbs (4.6 kg), further enhancing its portability.
