Celestron - NexStar Evolution 8 HD Telescope
Product Description
Overview
Perfect for Visual Use or Beginning Astroimaging. This telescope is an excellent instrument for those looking to explore astroimaging. It's the only fork-mounted telescope in its price range that offers brass worm gears along with improved motors, which provide great tracking accuracy. Capture images of the Moon and planets by attaching any planetary imaging camera. You can even experiment with imaging brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula with your DSLR camera. As you progress in the hobby of astroimaging, turn your alt-azimuth mount into equatorial setup by adding the Wedge for NexStar Evolution. This accessory will enable you to achieve longer exposures for more detailed astrophotos. The NexStar Evolution mount also features a built-in lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery with enough power for 10-hour astroimaging sessions. Of course, the EdgeHD optical system offers bright, sharp views with StarBright XLT? optical coatings-a great choice for visual observers and budding astro-imagers alike. NexStar Evolution is equipped with 4 auxiliary ports-two on top of the fork and two on the bottom. A StarSense hand control is still included, but is not necessary when using NexStar Evolution with the app. Accessories Included: The NexStar Evolution 8? telescope includes two 1.25? Plössl 40mm & 13mm eyepiece, which is great for observing most any celestial object right out of the box. What's more, your telescope includes a 1.25" star diagonal, 1.25? Visual Back, the StarSense AutoAlign accessory, and a StarPointer Pro? finderscope. The StarSense AutoAlign comes with a hand control, but thanks to the internal WiFi and SkyPortal app, use of the hand control is completely optional. To increase your field of view without sacrificing performance, add the optional EdgeHD reducer lens, bringing your focal ratio down to f/7. Software that Comes FREE with your Purchase.
