The Celestron NexStar 8 SE is one of our favourite Telescopes for beginners. The built in Celestron StarAlign software allows the user to align the telescope without any prior knowledge of the night sky. Once aligned by using three bright objects the telescope can help you find and track thousands of objects. Check out the description below for full product details;
The largest of the NexStar SE family with 78% more light gathering than a 6″ model, the NexStar 8 SE will enable you to see deep into the Universe. The distinctive patented fork arm with ergonomically designed integrated hand control cradle gives solid support to Celestrons classic 8″ optics. The NexStar 8 SE features Schmidt-Cassegrain 8″ aperture optics with our premium StarBright XLT coatings and a powerful 2,032mm focal length and f/10 focal ratio.
The NexStar 8 SE has all the same features as Celestrons most advanced computerized GoTo telescopes, including our revolutionary SkyAlign alignment technology, a sky tour feature, a database of over 40,000 celestial objects and easy to use hand control.
