 Celestron NexStar GPS Telescopes
NexStar GPS series of Celestron Telescopes is the culmination of years of engineering research and development delivering the ultimate instrument in GoTo technology. For the first time in a commercial telescope, Celestron combines an integrated Global Positioning System with its legendary Schmidt-Cassegrain optics.
NexStar GPS is so advanced that after you turn it on, the internal GPS receiver links up and acquires information from orbiting GPS satellites. With this information the system automatically downloads the date and time and pinpoints its exact location on Earth. All the information the NexStar needs to orient itself with the sky and point to your first alignment star. No need to enter the date, time, longitude and latitude or even know the position of north. Once aligned, NexStar GPS has a key on the hand control to allow direct access to each of the catalogs in its user-friendly database. Messier objects, NGC Galaxies or planets,NexStar GPS database has over 40,000 celestial objects to choose from. To make navigating through this expansive database quicker and easier, NexStarGPS has user-definable database filter limits. With the "filter limits" feature the NexStar-GPS database will display only those objects that are above the horizon for your exact date, time and location. |
