The Celestron NexStar 8SE is a telescope that can be used by a beginner as well as someone who is an advanced astronomer. 

• Large, 8-inch aperture with excellent light-gathering ability provides spectacular views of the Moon and planets, along with deep sky objects like the Whirlpool Galaxy and Hercules Globular Cluster. Fully automated, GoTo mount with database of 40,000+ celestial objects automatically locates and tracks objects for you.
• Here are a few of the additional items that would not come standard when purchasing the telescope new, but I hope will make quicker and more fun to get your Scope set up and enjoy your viewing.
• —WIFI Module
• Align and control your telescope wirelessly using your smartphone or tablet with Celestron’s exclusive, free SkyPortal Powered by SkySafari™ app for iOS and Android devices.
• Tap any celestial object you see in the sky to identify it instantly. Tap again and your telescope slews to that object, centering it perfectly in the eyepiece.
• Explore 100,000+ objects in SkyPortal’s database. While you observe, view astroimages and listen to audio descriptions for hundreds of the most popular objects including the planets, Orion Nebula, Hercules Globular Star Cluster, and more.

• —Thousand Oaks Optical Solar Filter
• After years of R&D we have developed a new solar film that has the optical quality of glass with the advantages of impregnated polymer. Will never develop pinholes or scratches that can let in light and ruin a filter. Other advantages: lightweight and does not require re-balancing tube assembly, will not break, consistent yellow-orange solar image, even density with any aperture, flat surface compared to other thin film filters that have wrinkles and creases. Will not tear or puncture. Stronger than any other solar film on the market. Also available in sheets. Guaranteed 15 years.
