The included eyepiece and red dot finder are useful accessories that allow you to start using the telescope right away. But, people have taken impressive images with this telescope, it just requires a different approach. You get an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope with excellent optics and a computerized mount that can point to objects in the night sky for you. The optics in the NexStar 8SE are incredibly well made and provide brilliant image clarity and detail.

Our patented SkyAlign alignment technology makes setting up a computerized telescope simple, fast, and accurate. Things close to the North Star trace smaller arc than things further away, so the amount of blurring you get depends on where the object is in the sky. I purchased the telescope over the phone, the lady I spoke to was very h Once the measurement has been taken, we are provided with a series of results that show the optical quality of the surface plus other information.

Please be aware that you will need to purchase the Celestron T-Adapter for Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope as well as the relevant T-ring for your camera such as the Canon EOS T-Ring or Nikon T-Ring.
