Description

Why settle for less when you can explore the cosmos with the NexStar Evolution 8, a high-quality, durable, and innovative Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope from Celestron? This powerful telescope is the first of its kind to feature integrated WiFi, revolutionizing the way you interact with the night sky.

With the NexStar Evolution 8, you can leave your hand control behind and navigate the celestial sphere with a simple tap on your smartphone or tablet. By connecting your device to the telescope's built-in wireless network, you gain access to the Celestron mobile app, available for both iOS and Android. This user-friendly app offers a planetarium interface, allowing you to view the night sky in real time or display a list of currently visible celestial objects based on your time and location.

The NexStar Evolution 8 is designed with the user in mind, incorporating years of customer feedback into its design. It boasts a built-in lithium-ion battery, eliminating the need for external power supply or batteries. This feature allows you to enjoy up to 10 hours of uninterrupted stargazing on a single charge. Plus, with the telescope's USB charge port, you can keep your other devices powered during your observing sessions.

Setting up the NexStar Evolution 8 is a breeze, thanks to its large, ergonomic handles and a steel tripod with leg etchings for achieving a level, uniform height. Manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth offer greater flexibility to manually point the telescope when powered off. The telescope also comes with storage for up to 7 eyepieces in 2 accessory trays, one of which features an adjustable red LED illuminator.

For those interested in astroimaging, the NexStar Evolution 8 is an excellent choice. Its superior tracking accuracy, worm gears, and improved motors make it possible to capture stunning images of deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula by simply attaching your DSLR camera. As you advance in astroimaging, you can add the Pro HD Wedge for longer exposures and more detailed astrophotos.

The NexStar Evolution 8 is equipped with a StarBright XLT optical coating for bright, sharp views, making it an ideal choice for both visual observers and budding astroimagers. The package includes a StarPointer finderscope, two 1.25" Plossl eyepieces, a 1.25" star diagonal, AC adapter, and an optional hand control. Experience the universe like never before with the NexStar Evolution 8, the most user-friendly telescope ever.
