 |
Removable Tube A huge advantage of this telescope !!!! This instrument is particularly compact for transport. You can attach other telescopes to the mount, or you can directly attach your camera using the optional PS Foto dovetail plate. This makes the mount particularly attractive for astro-imaging. Our smaller TS Duomount can be used to attach both the main instrument and a camera at the same time. You can of course also take off the Maksutov tube and use it as a spotting scope on a camera tripod. |
 |
Sky Align - Your Easy Way To The Stars GoTo capable telescopes take a lot of the responsibility off your shoulders. They will automatically slew to thousands of objects, leaving you the time to do what you're out to do for: Observing! Each GoTo telescope must be aligned before it can be used properly. This procedure used to be complicated and required knowledge of at least a couple of dozen brighter stars. With Celestron's revolutionary new Sky Align this procedure has become ultra-simple: Step 1 ... Just enter date, time and observing location. Step 2 ... Point the telescope at three bright stars - you don't need to know which stars they are! Even planets and the moon will work. Once you have finished this simple procedure you are ready to start observing. The telescope will slew to any object you might fancy within a moment's notice, driven by powerful servo motors. |

The NexStar 8i is one of the most popular, most innovative products offered by Celestron. It offers an incredible value for your money. The telescope is recommended for beginners and advanced observers alike - everyone who values a powerful yet portable instrument with computer control. Applications For The NexStar 8i: The NexStar 8i is supremely versatile and can be used for nearly all astronomical applications. Its individually figured optics give it an astonishing optical performance and contrast even at high powers. Schmidt-Cassegrains tend to have a bad reputation when it comes to lunar and planetary use - when observing with the NexStar 8i you'll see: The reputation is not founded on facts! Outside our solar system myriads of interstellar objects are within reach of this telescope. Many galaxies reveal their spiral structure, planetaries and gas nebulae are seen in beautiful detail, and globulars are often dissolved into single stars. Astronomical imaging using digital cameras is getting more and more popular. The NexStar 8i was optimized for that, allowing for excellent images of the moon and the planets. Even deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulae can be captured. For long exposures you will need a polar wedge, though. |

 The optional GPS module gets the telescope's exact location as well as the exact time from the GPS satellite system |

Exceptional Features And Scope Of Delivery! Aside from its revolutionary Sky Align the NexStar 8i also offers a large number of other features that set it apart from other telescopes in this price range. Online Software Upgrades Through The Celestron Website You can always download the most current version of the telescope's software through the internet. Premium Grade Hand-Corrected Celestron 8 Optics The optical quality of the NexStar 8i is on the same high level of the groundbreaking and much more expensive C-8. Portability And Low Weight The NexStar 8i is the most compact of Celestron's C8 GoTo telescopes. Including mount the telescope weighs only about 10.5kgs - easy to carry around. The telescope is only 62cm high when disassembled for transport. We also offer an aluminium case for the NexStar 8i. This case is warmly recommended if you move the telescope around a lot. Starbright XLT Coating The XLT Coating offers enhanced light transmission and as a result a brighter image. Normally this coating is optional. In this anniversary version of the NexStar 8i it is included for free! GPS Port An optional GPS module can be fitted to the telescope at any time. Just plug it into the dedicated GPS port and you will not have to enter coordinates, date and exact local time any more. |

Schmidt Cassegrain CPC 800 GPS ... Aperture 203mm ... Focal Length 2000mm
We see the same sad spectacles on various star parties: Excellent ideas for a telescope that were then compromised by economical and commercial considerations. The motto seems to be: "Good idea, perfect marketing, and a product full of compromises" Visual Use |
 |
Astro Imaging The CPC 800 GPS is also a dedicated and powerful instrument for astro-imaging. Even without a polar wedge exposures of about 20 seconds are possible, allowing for excellent images of the moon and the planets. For longer exposures you need a polar wedge. This is where the excellent mechanical stability of the Celestron CPC 800 comes in handy: While some other fork-mounted SCTs tend to suffer from vibrations in "equatorial mode" the CPC will stand rock-steady. Even gusts of wind will not harm your long exposure photographs. The CPC 800 GPS has a very small periodic tracking error that is further reduced by PEC (Periodic Error Correction). Brass gears are used in both axes. The resulting good tracking performance is the key to successful astro-imaging. |
| Heavy Duty Mechanics The CPC 800 GPS is a completely overhauled and redesigned fork-mounted Schmidt-Cassegrain. All mechanical parts were strengthened for better performance. Motors operate quietly - you won't need to fear to use it in residential areas. Sky Align - Your Easy Way To The Stars GoTo capable telescopes take a lot of the responsibility off your shoulders. They will automatically slew to thousands of objects, leaving you the time to do what you're out to do for: Observing! Each GoTo telescope must be aligned before it can be used properly. This procedure used to be complicated and required knowledge of at least a couple of dozen brighter stars. With Celestron's revolutionary new Sky Align this procedure has become ultra-simple. You do not need to place the telescope in a specific orientation when starting it up. Just point the telescope at three different bright stars - you don't even need to know which stars they are! From their relative distances and angles the telescope will calculate its actual position. All other needed details, such as observing location, time and date, are provided by the integrated 16 channel GPS receiver. "Sky Align" only works in alt-azimuth mode, i.e. without a polar wedge. But for the equatorially mounted telescope the CPC telescope line also offers a number of new and simple alignment methods. |

Schmidt Cassegrain CPC 925 GPS ... Aperture 235mm ... Focal Length 2350mm
Portability is crucial for most amateur astronomers. Make a telescope too big and you won't be able to move it out to a good observing site. Obviously nobody wants to waste observing performance, though. This is where the Celestron CPC 925 GPS comes in. The tube can be folded down for transport, making the telescope compact enough for transport even in small cars. The massive fork mount - originally designed for the heavier C-11 - is a rock-steady base for the telescope even in windy environments. Premium Grade 9 1/4" Schmidt Cassegrain Optics |
