Celestron NexStar Evolution 9.25 (9,25" 235 mm f/10, GOTO, Wi-Fi SKU: 12092)

If you're a passionate stargazer, the NexStar Evolution series by Celestron is set to revolutionize your celestial experiences. These telescopes represent the pinnacle of astronomical innovation, designed to cater to the needs of night sky enthusiasts.

The NexStar Evolution telescopes boast a brand-new alt-azimuth assembly equipped with precision-enhanced motors, a significant improvement over the classic "Nexstarach." Worm gears on both axes further enhance precision in tracking celestial objects.

One notable feature of these telescopes is the inclusion of large, ergonomic detention knobs, enabling effortless disengagement of the motors for manual adjustment. This feature proves invaluable for aligning your telescope with the night sky or facilitating daytime observations.

The built-in lithium-ion battery, optimized for cold weather performance, provides a remarkable 10 hours of field use without the need for cumbersome power cables. It's worth noting that seamless integration with the Starsense AutoAlign system is also possible.

However, the most groundbreaking innovation in the new NexStar Evolution series is the ability to control the telescope wirelessly via WiFi. All you need is a smartphone loaded with Celestron's dedicated software, which comes included with the telescope. This software offers a rich multimedia experience, allowing you to realistically depict the night sky at any given moment.

Additional intriguing features include a red-illuminated accessory tray. This tray accommodates three 1.25" eyepieces, one 2" eyepiece, and various small accessories. Remarkably, it remains functional even when the tripod legs are partially unfolded.

Key Characteristics of the Evolution Series:

Built-in WiFi: Bid farewell to traditional GoTo controllers and cables. Simply install the provided software on your smartphone or tablet to wirelessly operate the telescope.

Free Celestron Software: This software not only provides an authentic representation of the night sky but also offers advanced features.
