Celestron 11068 NexStar 6SE Computerised Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope with Advanced GPS, Astroimaging and AutoAlign Features, Black/Orange

Product Information

I will now take a closer look at the specifications, before turning to the pros and cons and then my personal experiences and sightings. Celestron NexStar 6SE Specifications & Features I "think" at this point I understand well what is needed to create the image train when using the f/6.3 focal reducer (getting to the 105mm spacing). Lens Filters Clear UV and Protection Filters Polarising Filters Neutral Density Filters Cokin Creative Filter System Other Filters Filter Stepping Rings Close-Up Lenses

These three things create a beast of a setup that is impressive. When it is all working correctly, the whole system together is a marvel to watch in action. It makes you realize how far technology has come in the last decade. The Ghost in the Machine Read on for my full review. Celestron Nexstar 6SE review What are you buying? 1. 6” Planetary and deep space telescope NexStar+ Database 40,000 objects, 200 user defined programmable objects. Enhanced information on over 200 objectsAnother day, another telescope deal. As Cyber Monday is now in full swing, those big discounts aren't showing any signs of letting up, and there are still plenty of excellent telescope bargains to be found. Saturn’s rings are easily visible, as is the Cassini Division within them, the latter provided you have good sight. Around half a dozen moons can be spotted, along with faint variations in the tones of Saturn’s cloud bands. Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is visibly not a star and appears a slightly gold colour. With any technology that is driven by software or other programs, there is the potential for glitches. This system is no different. When it is all working correctly, the experience is nothing short of magical, but there have been some hang-ups.

The Sky-Watcher Virtuoso GTi 130P is similar to the GTi 150P except slightly scaled down; like the 8” vs 10” normal Dobsonians we’d recommend the 150P over the 130P due to the minimal difference in size, weight, and cost compared to the jump in capabilities that the extra inch of aperture of the 150P gives you. Like the 150P, you can also get this telescope in a manual-only format for a lower price as the Sky-Watcher Heritage 130P. I've spent at least 6 months reading through a ton of incredibly useful information on this forum -- now my first question/post. It has everything you need to get started and use this telescope right away. You might need to fill in some holes down the road like with an additional eyepiece or new power source, but overall it gets the job done. VerdictIn the 1970s, the classic Celestron 8 brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world’s premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron’s proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.

The Apertura AD8/Zhumell Z8/Orion SkyLine 8 is a similarly great bargain to the larger AD10/Z10, though if you can afford the larger of the two models you’ll be rewarded greatly as the overall weight and bulk difference between a 10” and 8” is nearly immaterial.I think that this telescope will appeal to a large portion of the astronomy community due to its amazing optical quality and useful selection of technology. This telescope can utilize the database to its full extent and offer some genuinely detailed and amazing views of the universe. The aperture size and focal ratio hit a sweet spot rarely found in most telescopes, and it comes highly recommended. SkyAlign is advertised as being super easy to use. Still, whether it is a user error or a focusing issue, sometimes the program does not work as intended, which can delay or throw off your plans to have a computerized viewing session on a given night.

It’s a good starter eyepiece for low magnification, but as with any telescope, you’ll want at least a few extra eyepieces to provide a range of magnification options.
