Description:
The Celestron NexStar 80 HC is a compact refractor telescope, weighing only 11 pounds. Its preassembled, adjustable aluminum tripod and quick-release coupling knob, plus its light weight, make the NexStar 80 the most portable of the NexStar series. It has a wide field explorer, with a 3.25-degree field of view, that is capable of capturing the largest deep-sky objects. The wide field of view is also ideal for scanning large areas of the sky and for superb terrestrial viewing.This model comes complete with a directional hand controller. The controller gives you instant access to all of the NexStar 80's functions with common sense menu descriptions. It also contains information, including location, on over 4,000 objects. Simply tell the hand control the date, location, and position of north. Then watch as the NexStar 80 virtually aligns itself, then selects and goes to the best objects in the sky. Even the beginning astronomer can understand its variety of features with only a few observing sessions. Besides its motorized hand controller, the NexStar 80 is computer compatible. Hook it up to a laptop, load the GuideStar software or The Sky Level 1 CD-ROM, and make your viewing experience easier and more enjoyable. You also have the option of adding the convenience of the GT series computerized GO TO hand control later.
