The completely new NexStar series...
Designed to be an affordable entry level to mid-level
computerized GoTo telescope, the NexStar Star Locating Telescope (SLT)
refractors and reflectors are available in the most
popular sizes and are loaded with valuable design
features. With pre-assembled, adjustable stainless
steel tripods, and quick release fork arms and
tubes, NexStar SLT telescopes can be set up
in a matter of minutes — with no tools required!
You can see details of the lunar surface, Venus
and its phases, Mars resolved as an orange disc,
Jupiter and its four moons, Saturn with its rings plainly
visible and much more! Most NexStar SLT's can also be used
as a land-based spotting telescope. |

Intelligent Design
Powered by 8 AA user supplied batteries or an optional
AC adapter (#18773) these NexStar GoTo's love to travel.
The internal battery compartment provides power to the high
precision servo motors for rigid low-vibration performance
while eliminating cord wrap issues associated with external
battery packs.
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.
Celestron's Revolutionary SkyAlign
Using Celestron's patented SkyAlign* (patent pending), simply input the date, time and location into the hand control then slew the telescope to any three bright celestial objects in the sky. You do not need to know the names of the stars — you could even pick the moon or bright planets!
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.
