Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope SC 203/2032 EdgeHD NexStar Evolution 8 StarSense GoTo

Evolution - Advancing Portable Telescopes to New Heights!

Experience the next level of telescope portability with the Celestron NexStar Evolution series, setting a new standard in convenience and functionality.

Wireless Connectivity: Say goodbye to cumbersome hand controllers. With a built-in WLAN module, you can effortlessly control the NexStar Evolution using your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. Utilize the free Celestron SkyPortal app, complete with planetarium software and SkyAlign functionality. Of course, traditional control with the NexStar hand controller remains an option.

Lithium-Ion Power: Bid farewell to cable clutter and expensive power tanks. The integrated lithium-ion battery powers the telescope for a full night (ten hours) and even doubles as a USB charging port for your smartphone. The included power pack ensures easy recharging of the built-in battery.

Enhanced Ergonomics: Drawing from Celestron's innovative product design, as seen in the CPC telescopes, the NexStar Evolution series features a more robust drive system and numerous ergonomic enhancements. Enjoy a stable tripod with a convenient accessory tray that remains accessible even when folded. Rubber-armored surfaces and discreet red lighting enhance comfort and usability, while integrated handles make transportation a breeze.

Celestron EdgeHD Telescope: Precision Imaging to the Edge!

Celestron's EdgeHD telescopes redefine optical excellence, delivering distortion-free, razor-sharp images extending to the very edges of the visual field. Unlike traditional designs that correct only coma, EdgeHD corrects both coma and field curvature, ensuring unparalleled clarity and resolution.

StarSense AutoAlign: Revolutionizing amateur astronomy, StarSense technology offers hassle-free alignment for Celestron GoTo telescopes. With SkyProdigy technology, alignment is achieved in just three minutes, without the need for GPS, manual inputs, or star alignments. Simply turn on the telescope, wait three minutes, and start exploring the cosmos with the push of a button.
