Review Celestron's Nexstar 8 SE telescope bines excellent optics puterized "GoTo" tracking in a package that's light, portable affordable. The legendary performance of Celestron's orange tube C8 telescope has been updated high performance Starbright XLT coatings, the single arm Nexstar mount now includes Celestron's easy to use "SkyAlign" technology.
The Nexstar 8 SE upholds Celestron's reputation for quality optics. When I use an 11mm Plossl eyepiece (almost 200x magnification) for example, I can easily see the Cassini Division in Saturn's rings. When I look at Jupiter, the pale orange color of Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot is visible, I've even been able to identify the polar caps spot dust storms on the planet Mars. A 20mm Plossl eyepiece (about 100x magnification) is a good choice for viewing galaxies star clusters. When I look at globular cluster M13 in the constellation Hercules the high contrast XLT optics show me a glowing snowflake made of hundreds of tiny pin-point stars a low power 32mm Plossl eyepiece is a good choice for views of larger deep space highlights like the Andromeda Galaxy the Orion Nebula.
Celestron's patented "SkyAlign" system makes the Nexstar 8 SE very easy to use. I just pick the nearest town from the built-in list, enter the date time, point the telescope at three bright stars. I don't need a star chart because "SkyAlign" identifies the stars for me. When I just want a quick look at the moon a planet, I like to use the "Solar System Align" option. After entering the date time, I just point the telescope at the moon press the "Align" key. That's all it takes, the puter takes over the telescope begins tracking quietly accurately. At star parties I often have my Nexstar up running while older puterized telescopes are still waiting for their alignment stars to appear in the twilight.
The Nexstar 8 SE es a simple red-dot finder scope a basic 25mm eyepiece. You'll want to add a few good eyepieces to take full advantage of the Nexstar 8 SE's excellent optics. At the very least get Celestron's bargain priced Accessory Kit which includes high low power plossl eyepieces, treat yourself to some top rated Tele Vue eyepieces. At twenty-four pounds total weight, the Nexstar 8 SE is unusually light portable for an eight-inch telescope. The drawback of course is that some people will find it too light. Like other Schmidt Cassegrain (SCT) telescopes there are plenty of optional accessories to upgrade this telescope with, such as heavy duty tripods an optical finder scope. If you want to try astro-photography, however, check out Celestron's CPC 800 Telescope which features a heavy duty mount tripod an 8x50 optical finder scope right out of the box. --
