NexRemote Control Software
for Celestron Computerized Telescopes
Celestron has been in the forefront of
computerized telescope technology for over two decades. We
have taken this expertise
in telescope technology one step further by introducing the
NexRemote™ Telescope Control Software. NexRemote allows
the user to control their Celestron computerized telescope
from their personal computer. Everything that is done using
the telescope’s hand control can now be done remotely
from a PC or laptop. This software was developed for Celestron’s
high-end telescopes that use the NexStar control system including
the NexStar "i" Series, Advanced Series, NexStar
GPS Series and CGE Series.
NexRemote provides full emulation of every
aspect of the Celestron Computerized Hand Control including:
- Alignment in any tracking mode
- Database of objects
- User objects
- Hibernation
- Connect to popular planetarium programs
In addition to emulating the NexStar
Hand Control, NexRemote adds powerful new features including:
- NexRemote talks - Keep your eyes on the stars instead
of the LCD by enabling speech support
- Control the objects you want to see and the order that
you see them
- Create and save custom tours by launching NexTour
- Use Night Vision Mode to reduce the effect of the laptop
screen on your eyes
- Wireless control of the telescope with Optional Gamepad
Support
- Connect to your personal GPS device to NexRemote with
NexGPS.
- Download NexRemote updates online to use the latest
features
NexRemote began shipping in March 2005 with
select high-end computerized Celestron telescopes including
NexStar i Series models, NexStar GPS models and CGE models.
Contact your Celestron dealer to find out availability
of upgraded models that include NexRemote. Software will
also come with an RS-232 cable to connect your Celestron
telescope to a PC. For those who already own a compatible
Celestron computerized telescope and want to take it to
the next level of convenience and enjoyment, the software
can be purchased separately as a kit through an authorized
Celestron dealer (item# 93710). Kit includes the NexRemote
software & license, RS-232 cable and a Serial-to-USB
adapter.
