Description:
The NexStar 8 GPS is the culmination of years of engineering research and development. This large-aperture telescope with a carbon-fiber tube is the first instrument of its kind to boast an integrated global positioning system (GPS) and an electronic compass. As soon as you turn it on, the integrated GPS and compass system automatically pinpoint your exact location and points to your first alignment star. No need to enter the date, time, longitude, and latitude or even know the position of north. With the filter-limits feature, the NexStar database displays only those objects that are above the horizon for your exact date, time, and location. If the conditions are bad, you can filter out objects below a certain altitude above the horizon. So, as you scroll through the database lists of objects, only objects within the altitude limits you set will be displayed on the hand control. Other features include: - 8-inch diameter Schmidt-Cassegrain refractor
- Focal length of 2000mm and focal ratio of f10
- Computerized hand control with backlit LCD
- 40,000+ object database
- Storage for numerous user-defined objects
