Key Features

• StarBright XLT high transmission coatings
• SkyAlign allows alignment on any three bright celestial objects, making for a rapid, efficient alignment process. It then functions as a 'go-to' system accepting commands through the handset and pointing the optical assembly toward any one of nearly 40,000 objects stored in its database. Using the (optional) CN-16 GPS accessory connection and an external GPS (not included), alignment is entirelyautomatic.
• NexRemote telescope control software and RS-232 cable included for advanced control of the telescope with a PC
• StarPointer finderscope helps with alignment and locating objects
• Flash-upgradeable hand control software and motor control units by way of downloadable updates
• Robust, computerized altazimuth mount
• Star Diagonal internal flip mirror for straight or 90-degree viewing angle. May also be used to rapidly switch from the eyepiece to a camera without disturbing telescope alignment
• Exceptionally sturdy steel tripod for rapier-sharp astrophotography
