Celestron NexStar 8 SE Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

The Celestron NexStar 8 SE is an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope built for astronomy enthusiasts who want automated object location. It combines a large aperture with StarBright XLT coatings to gather more light for brighter, clearer views of deep-sky objects. The package includes a 1.25" eyepiece and filter kit alongside the optical tube, mount, tripod, and software downloads.

Computerized GoTo Mount with 40000+ Object Database

The single fork arm mount features a fully automated GoTo system powered by NexStar+ technology and a database of over 40000 celestial objects. SkyAlign software allows quick alignment without tools by using date, time, and location inputs. The quick-release fork arm and tripod simplify transport and setup, while the included CPWI control software and Starry Night SE download support planning and control from a computer.

Suited for Observers Wanting Automated Deep-Sky

This telescope suits users who want a portable, computerized system capable of resolving faint galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters with minimal manual effort. The flash-upgradeable hand control ensures the operating system stays current. Buyers who need a larger aperture for fainter targets or a German equatorial mount for long-exposure astrophotography should consider other configurations.
