Celestron C8-XLT Optical Tube, CG5 rail

203 mm Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (optical tube only). Tube featuring Schmidt-Cassegrain optics corrected to the diffraction limit, allowing for sharp images across a wide field of view. The Celestron C8 is the world's best-selling medium-aperture telescope due to its great compactness and light weight combined with high optical performance. The C8 is suitable for universal use, whether astronomical or terrestrial, visual or photographic, and belongs to the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope family, which are among the most modular astronomical instruments in existence; they can work optimally across a very wide range of focal lengths, making them satisfying to use in a broad array of applications, both astronomical and terrestrial. The optics are treated with the high-luminous efficiency XLT coating.
