The NexStar GT series of telescopes shares a common heritage
in features and function. Each NexStar telescope includes the latest
state-of-the-art computerized GoTo technology, amazingly easy-to-use
features and ready-to-use components. After the computer guides
you through a simple set up, each telescope will point itself to
the object you choose from its stored database of astronomical objects
without referring to star charts!
The
NexStar 60GT is the perfect “step up” from a non-computerized
telescope, or perhaps you have decided to make the 60GT your first
telescope! This extremely portable instrument is the perfect tool
to get going with amateur astronomy. With its pre-assembled, adjustable
aluminum tripod, the NexStar GT telescopes can be set up and ready
to use in a matter of minutes. The NexStar 4GT comes on a sturdy
metal base with three rubber-gripping feet for vibration suppression
and traction. Use the NexStar 4GT on any flat surface or with the
optional field tripod. You can see views of the lunar surface,
Venus
and its phases, Mars resolved as an orange disc, Jupiter and its
4 moons, and Saturn resolved as a disc with its rings plainly visible.
You can see the Great Nebula in Orion and the amazingly large Andromeda
Galaxy that is over six trillion miles away! Besides being a wonderful
astronomical scope, most
NexStar GT’s can be used as a great, land-based spotting
telescope as well.
To assist in the star alignment, the NexStar uses
a lightweight StarPointer Finderscope. The StarPointer is the quickest
and easiest way to point your telescope exactly to the desired object
in the sky. It’s like having a laser pointer that you can
shine directly onto the night sky. No need to worry about the inverted
images you see through traditional finders, just align the red dot
seen through the StarPointer with the desired star in the sky. It’s
that easy.
Powered by 8 AA user supplied batteries or an optional
AC adapter (#18773) these NexStar GoTo’s love to travel. Sturdy
and solid, they provide rigid low-vibration performance, with quiet,
high precision servo motors.
With the NexStar’s ergonomically designed hand
control, the user is free to remove the hand control from its holder
for remote use or leave it cradled for hands-free operation. With
a touch of a button you can select the object catalog, change the
slew speed, view fascinating information about an object, or simply
know if a desired object is visible in the sky.
The NexStar GT’s deluxe features combine with
Celestron’s uncompromising optical standards to give amateur
astronomers one of the most sophisticated and easy to use telescopes
available on the market today.
Every NexStar GT includes a version of The Sky®
software Level 1 Planetarium software for exploring the Universe
on your PC and printing out custom star charts of the sky. In addition,
you receive the NexStar Observer’s List (NSOL) control software.
Just connect your NexStar to your laptop or PC (with optional RS-232
cable) for click-and-slew ability to any object in the NexStar’s
database.
