Celestron NexStar 8SE Computerized Telescope
$2,160.00
Why We Love This The Celestron Nexstar 8SE Computerized Telescope (11069) is instantly recognizable because of the orange paint job. This is a nod back to the original C8 tubes that drove Celestron’s early success. The SE series come with computerized mounts, a good quality eyepiece, and great quality optics. These scopes will stand up well to quality eyepieces and high magnification. They’re ideal for viewing the moon and will show great detail on the planets (Cassini division in the rings of Saturn, bands on Jupiter). The 8” will also introduce you to deep sky objects like open clusters, globular clusters,...

Celestron EdgeHD 8" Optical Tube Assembly ...
$2,160.00
EdgeHD is an aplanatic, flat field Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that produces aberration-free images across a wide visual and photographic field of view. The optical system was designed to reduce more than just off-axis star coma; it also provides an astrograph-quality flat focal plane all the way to the edge of the field of view. Description True Astrograph Quality Many optical designs that advertise themselves as "astrographs" actually only produce pinpoint stars across a curved focal plane. While this may be acceptable for some visual observing, stars will appear out of focus at the edge when used with the flat chip sensor...
