About this deal

With that aperture, you’ll be able to see objects down to magnitude 14, which just brings Pluto within reach if you have dark enough skies. Large, 8-inch aperture with excellent light-gathering ability provides spectacular views of the Moon and planets, along with deep sky objects like the Whirlpool Galaxy and Hercules Globular Cluster. All of my pictures are taken with the default alt-az mount and a DLSR (and a focal reducer for some), so you definitely can enjoy both visual and astrophotography out-of-the-box.

Celestron’s patented StarSense® Technology makes it easier than ever to locate objects in the night sky, even if you’ve never used a telescope before. The Nexstar 8SE is packed full of advanced features that makes it compatible with all of the latest high-tech gadgets that you are currently using. When there’s a difference in temperature between the scope and the air outside, you don’t get great performance.The Celestron NexStar 8SE computerized telescope is one of the best-selling telescope packages of all time. The Celestron NexStar 8SE Computerised Telescope has Celestron's signature orange-tube and combines advanced features and excellent optics in one easy-to-use system. Our patented SkyAlign alignment technology makes setting up a computerized telescope simple, fast, and accurate. On the back of the NexStar 8SE optical tube, you’ll find 2″ threads to attach a star diagonal, focal reducer, and photography accessories such as a T-Adapter for your DSLR or Mirrorless camera. You can use light pollution or ultra-high contrast filters, but these further eat into your exposure time because they block not only the bad light but also a little of the good light, so these work best with brighter objects such as the Orion Nebula and/or a focal reducer (although if the target’s color is right, such as the Dumbell Nebula, these have helped me with faint objects).

This scope is sturdy and produce nice image and overall the perfect companion for serious observation. Once aligned by using three bright objects the telescope can help you find and track thousands of objects.The built in Celestron StarAlign software allows the user to align the telescope without any prior knowledge of the night sky. For planetary imaging, there’s no better choice than a NexStar 8SE paired with one of our Skyris cameras. The answer to “how long of an exposure can you take with the Nexstar 8SE before getting star trails” is complicated, but in general, probably about 30 seconds.

If it’s planets you’re after, get a decent high-magnification eyepiece too, something in the 10mm or lower range.Forty years later, Cestron have added cutting-edge features, while staying true to founding philosophy.
