 Celestron NexStar 8i Telescopes w/Full Sized Tripod, NexStar Hand Controller and NexRemote Control Software This model of Celestron Telescope has been discontinued and no longer available. However, we have other excellent models of Telescopes , including Celestron NexStar 8i Special Edition , on our site at great price. Celestron NexStar 8-i Telescopes Kits 11022/11022-XLT:
With 2.5 times the light
gathering of the 5" model, the Celestron NexStar 8i Telescope Kit w/Full
Sized Tripod and NexStar Hand Controller will enable you to see
deeper into the Universe than ever before. The distinctive patented fork arm
with ergonomically designed integrated hand control cradle gives solid support
to Celestron
’s classic 8" optics.
Celestron NexStar 8 i Telescopes
feature
Schmidt-Cassegrain 8" aperture optics with
StarBright multi-coating, powerful 2,032
mm focal length and f/10 focal ratio.
Celestron NexStar 8 i Schmidt-Cassegrain
Telescope has all the same feature as Celestron
’s most advanced computerized GoTo telescopes, including AutoAlign
Two-Star Alignment.
Celestron
Auto Two-Star Align allows the user to input all the necessary
time/site information needed to align Celestron
Telescope. After choosing Auto Two Star
Align, your Celestron NexStar will ask you to input
first the local time and date, then it will ask for your location. Once this
information is received, Celestron NexStar will prompt you to
slew the Telescope
and point at one known star in the sky. Celestron NexStar now
has all the information it needs to choose a second alignment star that will
assure the best possible alignment.
Starting March 2005 Celestron NexRemote Control Software
comes with Celestron Nexstar 8i Telescopes 11022 and
11022-XLT free of charge !!!!
NexRemote Telescope Control Software allows the user to
control their Celestron
Computerized Telescopes from their
personal computer. Everything that is done using the Telescope
’s hand control can now be done remotely from a PC or
laptop. Celestron Nex Remote Software was developed
for Celestron ’s high-end Telescopes that
use Celestron NexStar control
system including Celestron
NexStar "i" Series Telescopes, Celestron
Advanced Series Telescopes, Celestron
NexStar GPS Telescopes and Celestron CGE
Telescopes
.
Celestron NexRemote provides full emulation of
every aspect of the Celestron Computerized Hand Control
including:
- Alignment in any tracking mode
- Database of objects
- User objects
- Hibernation
- Connect to popular planetarium programs
In addition to emulating Celestron NexStar
8i Hand Control, Celestron NexRemote adds
powerful new features including:
- NexRemote talks - Keep your eyes on the stars instead of the LCD by
enabling speech support
- Control the objects you want to see and the order that you see them
- Create and save custom tours by launching NexTour
- Use Night Vision Mode to reduce the effect of the laptop screen on your
eyes
- Wireless control of the telescope with Optional Gamepad Support
- Connect to your personal GPS device to NexRemote with NexGPS.
- Download NexRemote updates online to use the latest features
NexStar 8 i Celestron
Telescopes 11022/11022-XLT offer a sky
tour feature and come standard with Celestron NexStar HC Computerized Hand
Control 93962 with 40,000+ celestial object
database !
Celestron NexStar 8i Telescope 11022-XLT
comes with SarBright XLT
coating :
With Celestron
StarBright XLT Optical System Design you’ll see the light!
One of the most important
factors in the evaluation of a Schmidt-Cassegrain
Telescopes Optical System
performance is its transmission — the
percentage of incoming light that reaches the focal plane. The design
of Celestron XLT System accomplishes
two crucial objectives: Develop a coating system that is optimized for visual
use and for CCD/Photographic imaging.
There are three major
components that make up Celestron StarBright XLT high transmission
optical system design:
1. Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror
coatings:
Celestron mirror coatings are made from precise layers
of Al (Aluminum), SiO2 (quartz) and TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide). Reflectivity is
fairly flat across the spectrum, optimizing it for both CCD imaging and visual
use.
2. Multi-layer
anti-reflective coatings:
Coatings
are made from precise layers of MgF2 (Magnesium Fluoride), and HfO2 (Hafnium
Dioxide). Hafnium gives a wider band pass than Titanium, used in comparable
coatings.
3.
High Transmission Water White glass:
Celestron
Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Systems with optional
StarBright - XLT coatings use Water White glass instead
of Soda Lime glass for the corrector lens. Water White glass transmits about
90.5% of light without anti-reflective coatings. That is 3.5% better
transmission than uncoated Soda Lime glass. When Water White glass is used in
conjunction with Celestron Star Bright XLT 's anti-reflective coatings, the average light
transmission reaches 97.4% — an 8% improvement!
These three components of
Celestron StarBright XLT coatings result in one of the finest coatings
available. The peak light transmission for the systems is 89% at 520 nm. The
overall system transmission is 83.5% averaged over the spectrum from 400 to 750
nm.
