• Celestron Orange Tube with special edition logo
• StarBright XLT High Performance Optical System
• Revolutionary SkyAlign Technology – 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!
• Flash Upgradeable Hand Control – conveniently upgrade your 8i SE operating software via the Internet.
• 40,000+ object database – the expanded, programmable user database includes the complete Messier, NGC, IC and Caldwell catalogs. Customized lists of all the best galaxies, nebulae and other deep-sky objects. Room for hundreds of user defined objects.
• Database Filter Limits – user-defined so that only objects visible above the horizon are displayed on the hand control.
• User-Defined Slew Limits – prevents the telescope from slewing beyond the user-defined horizon in altazimuth and equatorial mode.
• Hibernate – this power saving device allows you to power down the telescope without losing your alignment. All you have to do is enter the correct time. Hibernate allows you to look for planets in the daytime after having used the telescope the night before or to observe night after night without having to re-align.
• Wedge Align Algorithm – automatically aligns the telescope to the celestial pole. Essential when you are performing a polar alignment on an equatorial wedge.
• Anti Cord Wrap – prevents the telescope from wrapping its cords when attaching optional accessories.
• Patented Fork Arm with ergonomically designed integrated hand control cradle
• 2-Year Limited Warranty
