Celestron NEXSTAR 8 SE

203 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain catadioptric telescope with Nexstar SE computerized single-fork arm altazimuth mount. The Celestron NexStar SE series of computerized telescopes is a successful synthesis of the tradition of excellent Celestron optics with XLT coating and the practicality and high technology of Nexstar SE single-fork mounts, equipped with automatic pointing, a hand controller with upgradable Nexstar firmware, SkyAlign™ alignment system, and much more. The Nexstar SE single-fork mounts are equipped with a universal dovetail mounting platform and can therefore be used with other optical tubes. Nexstar SE telescopes are portable instruments with highly advanced features. They allow for precision alignment in just a few minutes using SkyAlign technology, which consists of pointing at three bright stars "at random" and letting the Nexstar computer do the rest. The SkyAlign function does not require the user to have any knowledge of the sky. It includes a 220V power supply and a battery compartment (for 8 AA batteries, not included), a NexStar hand controller that is web-upgradable, with the easy SkyAlign alignment function and a database of over 4,000 celestial objects. The Nexstar 8SE is a powerful telescope with high-quality Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, suitable for primarily visual use for both terrestrial and astronomical subjects, but also allowing for photographic shots with SLR, mirrorless, or compact cameras and video recording with webcams.
