Detailed Description
The Celestron NexStar 8i SE Computerized Telescope is one of the most precise and advanced astronomical instruments on the market today for serious amateurs. Equipped with high speed motors and an ergonomically designed hand control, the NexStar-i allows you to remotely move your telescope to desired objects quickly and accurately. At a touch of a button, you can move your telescope across the sky in a matter of seconds and track objects remotely as the Earth rotates beneath them. At just twenty-four pounds, the NexStar 8i SE is as portable as it is versatile and will give you years of night-viewing pleasure.
The NexStar 8i SE features an incredible six-degree per second (or even faster) slew speed, fully enclosed motors on both axes, and an integrated hand controller that's built into the side of the fork arm. Celestron's unique patented single fork arm with integral hand control design provides a rigid and smooth operating structure for the scope's optical tube.
The telescope also features a 40,000-plus object database that includes the complete Messier, NGC, IC, and Caldwell catalogs, customized lists of all the best galaxies, nebulae, and other deep-sky objects, and room for hundreds of user-defined objects. With the NexStar 8i SE, users can achieve a degree of control that's unprecedented in comparable scopes. You can define the database filter limits so that only objects visible above the horizon are displayed on the hand control, as well as the scope's slew limits.
A convenient hibernation feature allows you to power down the scope without losing your alignment. This feature allows you to look for planets in the daytime after having used the telescope the night before, or to observe night after night without having to re-align the settings. A wedge align algorithm automatically aligns the telescope to the celestial pole--an essential feature when you are performing a polar alignment on an equatorial wedge. And finally, an anti cord wrap prevents the telescope from wrapping its cords when attaching the many optional accessories available for the NexStar 8i SE.
These advanced features, combined with Celestron's legendary Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system, give amateur astronomers one of the most versatile and easy-to-use telescopes available anywhere. Built with the highest quality optical coatings for sharp, bright views, the NexStar 8i SE is not only the perfect scope for advanced amateur astronomers, but is extremely well-suited for aspiring astrophotographers as well.
