Celestron NexStar 8 SE Telescope Bundle

The Celestron NexStar 8 SE is an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a single fork arm mount with a computerized GoTo system. It includes a 25mm eyepiece, star diagonal, Star Pointer finderscope, accessory tray, tripod, Starry Night SE software download and CPWI software. This bundle adds a night vision flashlight, sky maps book, 1.25" moon filter and cleaning kit for immediate observing sessions.

Upgrade From Smaller Aperture Or Manual Mounts

The 8-inch aperture with StarBright XLT coatings gathers significantly more light than smaller instruments, revealing fainter deep-sky objects and finer planetary detail. The jump is worth it when you want automated GoTo location of over 40,000 celestial objects via SkyAlign technology instead of manual star-hopping. The computerized hand control provides object information on its LCD screen and supports flash upgrades.

Suits Visual Astronomers Wanting Grab-And-Go

This package suits observers who want a portable, computerized system that aligns quickly using any three bright celestial objects without prior star knowledge. It is less suited for buyers who want more aperture for serious deep-sky imaging, builders who need a German equatorial mount for long-exposure astrophotography, or anyone requiring a lighter instrument for frequent travel on foot.

Questions about this item

What tripod and mount style does the 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain tube use?

The bundle includes a single fork arm mount with a built-in tripod that supports the optical tube directly.

How do I align the GoTo system before the first observing session?

Enter the date, time and location, then centre any three bright celestial objects using the hand control; SkyAlign calculates the model automatically.

Which bundled accessories will need periodic replacement or cleaning?

The 1.25" moon filter, 25mm eyepiece and cleaning kit supplies are consumables that should be inspected and replaced as they wear.
