 Wiith 2.5 times the light gathering of the 5" model, the NexStar 8i will enable you to see deeper into the Universe than ever before. The distinctive patented fork arm with ergonomically designed integrated hand control cradle gives solid support to Celestron’s classic 8" optics. The NexStar 8i features Schmidt-Cassegrain 8" aperture optics with StarBright™ multi-coating, powerful 2,032mm focal length and f/10 focal ratio.
The NexStar 8i has all the same feature as Celestron’s most advanced  computerized GoTo telescopes, including AutoAlign two-star alignment, a sky tour feature, a database of over 40,000 celestial objects and easy to use hand control. Plug the optional CN-16 GPS Accessory into NexStar’s auxiliary port and download data from orbiting GPS satellites for truly hands-free alignments. The universe may be full of mysteries, but using the NexStar 8i isn’t one of them.
