Celestron NexStar 102SLT Computerised Telescope
TheCelestron NexStar 102SLT Computerised Telescopeis an excellent choice of astronomical telescope that can be effectively used for terrestrial observations as well.
This telescope is suitable for experienced astronomers and also for newcomers. It has a computer database of 4000 or more celestial objects that the telescope will point towards once the selected object is entered with the hand control.
The SkyAlign feature makes telescope alignment easy as it only needs the user to enter the time and date details and then to point the telescope towards three bright images in the sky for it to establish its own location and therefore be able to work out where any celestial object in the database is.
