This azimuthal single-arm mount is optimized to be ready for use quickly and easy to transport. Unlike the classic parallactic mount, you do not have to spend time aligning the telescope to the north, setting the polar height or taking counterweights with you. The mount is simply set up horizontally and after alignment (in which you simply set any three bright stars), the computer automatically ensures that the telescope moves to the desired objects and keeps them in the eyepiece: the automatic tracking automatically compensates for the rotation of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the SE telescopes ideal for anyone who wants to observe the starry sky themselves: very portable, quickly ready for use and with all the necessary comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescope is attached to the mount with a standard prism rail with quick coupling, so it can be easily removed. The mount can also provide stable support for other telescopes up to approx. 5.5kg. However, this is not necessary for transport: the complete mount including telescope is very handy and fits, for example, in the separately available, padded transport case. It is simply attached to the stable steel tripod with three easy-to-grip screws; a centering pin helps when placing it on the tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NexStar 6\/8SE mount also offers everything you need for photography: lunar photography with an SLR camera or planetary photography with a video camera are also possible without any problems in azimuthal operation with the correct camera adapter. Long exposures are also possible using the optional Heavy Duty Deluxe polar wedge: The mount is aligned parallel to the earth's axis, like a classic parallactic (\"astronomical\") mount. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA software installed in the hand controller helps you to easily align the mount with high precision even without a polar finder. This not only prevents the image field from rotating when you photograph for example a lunar eclipse over a long period of time but also allows deep sky imaging.

After this SkyAlign, the mount knows what the sky above it looks like and controls each additional object at the touch of a button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the optional Celestron SkySync GPS module, you save yourself the trouble of entering the date, time and observation location, making setup even easier. This data is automatically transferred to the telescope via the GPS satellites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SE telescopes are also compatible with the StarSense module. Behind this is a small camera that is mounted on the telescope and uses to orient the telescope fully automatically in the sky - without GPS. With StarSense, all you have to do is set up the telescope, switch it on and wait about three minutes. Since StarSense is compatible with all modern, computer-controlled Celestron telescopes, you can continue to use it even if you ever buy a larger telescope - StarSense also works with observatory-class telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that a NexStar SE telescope can be updated at any time when there are technical innovations - this ensures that your telescope retains its value!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eControl via PC and iPhone:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all Celestron NexStar telescopes, the NexStar SE can also be controlled via PC.

You can control the telescope wirelessly using the optional SkyQ Link WLAN adapter - either via a Windows PC or via iPhone or iPad (with the optional SkyQ planetarium program).

This azimuthal single-arm mount is optimized to be ready for use quickly and easy to transport. Unlike the classic parallactic mount, you do not have to spend time aligning the telescope to the north, setting the polar height or taking counterweights with you. The mount is simply set up horizontally and after alignment (in which you simply set any three bright stars), the computer automatically ensures that the telescope moves to the desired objects and keeps them in the eyepiece: the automatic tracking automatically compensates for the rotation of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes the SE telescopes ideal for anyone who wants to observe the starry sky themselves: very portable, quickly ready for use and with all the necessary comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe telescope is attached to the mount with a standard prism rail with quick coupling, so it can be easily removed. The mount can also provide stable support for other telescopes up to approx. 5.5kg. However, this is not necessary for transport: the complete mount including telescope is very handy and fits, for example, in the separately available, padded transport case. It is simply attached to the stable steel tripod with three easy-to-grip screws; a centering pin helps when placing it on the tripod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NexStar 6\/8SE mount also offers everything you need for photography: lunar photography with an SLR camera or planetary photography with a video camera are also possible without any problems in azimuthal operation with the correct camera adapter. Long exposures are also possible using the optional Heavy Duty Deluxe polar wedge: The mount is aligned parallel to the earth's axis, like a classic parallactic (\"astronomical\") mount. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA software installed in the hand controller helps you to easily align the mount with high precision even without a polar finder. This not only prevents the image field from rotating when you photograph for example a lunar eclipse over a long period of time but also allows deep sky imaging. An AUX connection enables the connection of additional accessories - from GPS receivers to StarSense modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eComprehensive star catalogs and TOUR function for an overview:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe hand controller contains a database with over 38,000 objects. These include, of course, the planets of the solar system as well as countless galaxies, gas nebulae, star clusters and interesting stars. Are you having trouble choosing? Then use the TOUR mode, which shows you a selection of the most beautiful objects every evening and explains them on the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSkyAlign - Setup without knowledge of the sky:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe NexStar SE mount has motors with encoders on both axes and a hand controller with 38,181 objects in the database. To initialize the computer control, all you have to do is enter the time and location (selectable from the database) into the hand controller and move to any three bright celestial objects - it doesn't matter which ones, you don't even have to know them! After this SkyAlign, the mount knows what the sky above it looks like and controls each additional object at the touch of a button.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the optional Celestron SkySync GPS module, you save yourself the trouble of entering the date, time and observation location, making setup even easier. This data is automatically transferred to the telescope via the GPS satellites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SE telescopes are also compatible with the StarSense module. Behind this is a small camera that is mounted on the telescope and uses to orient the telescope fully automatically in the sky - without GPS. With StarSense, all you have to do is set up the telescope, switch it on and wait about three minutes. Since StarSense is compatible with all modern, computer-controlled Celestron telescopes, you can continue to use it even if you ever buy a larger telescope - StarSense also works with observatory-class telescopes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that a NexStar SE telescope can be updated at any time when there are technical innovations - this ensures that your telescope retains its value!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eControl via PC and iPhone:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all Celestron NexStar telescopes, the NexStar SE can also be controlled via PC. All you need is the optional Celestron RS cable and, if necessary, an adapter from RS232 to USB. You can then control the telescope from a Windows PC using the NexRemote software or the widely used ASCOM interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the SE telescopes also support wireless control! You can control the telescope wirelessly using the optional SkyQ Link WLAN adapter - either via a Windows PC or via iPhone or iPad (with the optional SkyQ planetarium program). This means you don't have to take a laptop with you on your observation nights, an iPhone is enough, and you have a modern graphic telescope control in addition to the hand controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWell thought-out mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mount of the Celestron NexStar SE telescopes is a solid azimuthal single-arm mount that can be set up without tools. The large, easy-to-grip screws mean that this can also be done with gloves. The sturdy steel tripod has a shelf for accessories and a holder for the hand control box. The SE mount can carry devices weighing up to approx. 5.5kg, depending on the design. The clamping device on the arm of the mount fits any standardized Vixen (V) dovetail and holds it securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand controller is neatly integrated into the fork arm and can be removed if necessary.

You can also track objects far beyond the meridian without having to immediately turn carry out a meridian flip. This means you can observe the most interesting part of the sky without interruption.

An optional polar finder scope and the software routine of the hand control box make it easier to align to the north.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Advanced VX is designed as an ideal platform for astrophotography with smaller telescopes. For telescopes up to approx. 13.6kg (depending on the lever), the sophisticated functions of this large parallactic mount is now also available. Thanks to PEC (Periodic Error Correction), the periodic worm error that occurs in all mounts with classic worm gears can be compensated, so that long-exposure shots are easily carried out. You can also track objects far beyond the meridian without having to immediately turn carry out a meridian flip. This means you can observe the most interesting part of the sky without interruption. The Advanced VX also has a much wider base than its predecessor, which further increases stability even with large loads. The improved motors have a higher torque and can better compensate for slight imbalances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince spring 2019, it has been delivered with the dual dovetail clamp , so that both telescopes with the small CG5 rail (EQ standard) and the large CGE rail (3\" standard) fit on the AVX - without additional adapters!

However, the rail must be at least 100mm long as the clamping points on the new AVX are 90mm apart. If a user wants to use the AVX with a telescope that has a Vixen (or CG-5) dovetail rail that is shorter than 100mm, the rail must be replaced with a longer dovetail rail however suitable rails are available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new AVX mount is not compatible with Losmandy D format dovetail rails. The CGE and Losmandy D formats are similar but not identical. Losmandy rails are about a millimeter wider, while CGE plates are deeper and have more surface contact with the dovetail clamp.

Thanks to the large carrying handles, it is even easier to transport than a comparable, slightly lighter classic parallactic mount! With the dual dovetail clamp for CG-5 (Vixen, Celestron) or CGE (3-inch), you can easily switch between small solar telescopes and large Schmidt-Cassegrains, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount has been given more powerful, faster-reacting motors that are connected to the axes via a sturdy toothed belt. This means the mount responds almost immediately to control commands, even from an autoguider. There is no play in the gears, and since the worm gears are also spring-loaded, the play is largely eliminated - you don't have to readjust even when there are large temperature differences, as the worms and gears have optimal contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new, large screws are easy to grip, so you can loosen or tighten them easily even when wearing gloves - the polar height adjustment has also been revised so that you can easily adjust the mount even when it is fully loaded. A polar finder will be available as an option, but is generally unnecessary: ​​With the All-Star Polaralign you can align the mount to any brighter star through the telescope, and for perfection, the polar finder has always been superior to the polar finder. As a special feature, you can move the mount on the base plate of the extra-wide tripod head - this allows you to position the center of gravity perfectly over the tripod, for the entire usable latitude range from 3 to 65° north or south latitude. The flat base can also be easily adapted to your own columns. Celestron provides a flange drawing ( PDF ) for fixed installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a photo mount, it is just as suitable for mobile use as it is for remote operation. Internal sensors (“switches”) automatically bring the mount into the home position and prevent it from moving too far and hitting something when panning. The internal cabling also serves to ensure safety: all connections (power, hand controller, AUX and autoguider) are in the base of the mount and do not move with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand controller can be controlled in the traditional way via ASCOM and the hand controller (new: with USB connection) via PC, or you can use the control software included in the delivery, which was developed together with Planewave Instruments. Multipoint GoTo modeling, plate solving and control of the focuser are just a few functions that you normally have to add for remote operation - with the CGX this software is included in the delivery. Here you do not need the hand controller, but can use the USB connection on the mount directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Telescope Optics:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThe EdgeHD optics (Edge High Definition) combine the compact design of a Schmidt-Cassegrain with significantly improved imaging at the edge of the image. This optical system not only offers the properties of astrographs, but also produces completely undistorted, sharp images right up to the edge of the large visual and photographic field of view. Not only is the coma outside the optical axis corrected - as with other so-called \"coma-free\" optical designs available on the market (see also our test image) - but also the field curvature!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany optical systems are promoted as \"astrographs\"; however, they produce the coveted \"pinpoint\" star image along a curved image plane. On images taken with modern CCD cameras, the result is a noticeable field curvature that increases towards the edge of the image field and becomes stronger the larger the chip is; i.e. the stars remain round, but are blown up into small rings (\"donuts\") towards the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Celestron Edge HD telescopes, this field curvature is corrected right up to the edge in addition to the coma, so that even images taken with large CCD chips are completely sharp, with a uniformly large star image across the entire chip - right into the corners of the image field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis also significantly improves the resolution and limiting magnitude compared to competing optical systems with a similar aperture. The Celestron XLT multi-coating also helps the Edge HD optics to achieve a significant increase in performance compared to similar systems on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn addition to the new optics, the mechanics and tube have also been completely redesigned.

Thanks to PEC (Periodic Error Correction), the periodic worm error that occurs in all mounts with classic worm gears can be compensated for, so that longer-exposure shots are also possible. You can also track objects far beyond the meridian without having to immediately carry out a Meridian Flip. This means you can observe the most interesting part of the sky without any interruption. The Advanced VX also has a much wider base than its predecessor, which further increases stability even with large loads. The improved motors have a higher torque and can better compensate for slight imbalances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince spring 2019, it has also included the dual dovetail clamp, so that both telescopes with the small CG5 rail (EQ standard) and the large CGE rail (3\" standard) fit on the AVX - without additional adapters!

The CGE and Losmandy D formats are similar but not identical. Losmandy rails are about a millimeter wider, while CGE plates are deeper and have more surface contact with the dovetail clamp.

No north alignment is required, you simply need to set up the device under a clear, dark sky with an unobstructed view of the surrounding sky. At least three-quarters of the sky should allow a clear view of the starry sky. Then simply enter the date, time, and location as usual.

The StarSense module can help with this too: If you've only roughly aligned the mount north (i.e., you've placed the telescope in its starting position and can see Polaris in the finderscope) and switch on the StarSense module, the telescope will search for the reference stars.

The lens group comprises four elements and uses rare-earth elements. Unlike many other telescopes that perform well only in visible light (400-700nm), the 8\" RASA is designed for a wider spectral range , from 390-800nm . This allows more light from celestial objects to be collected and sharply imaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith many optical systems, the use of an additional flat glass element, such as a filter, has no impact on image quality. However, this is different with extremely fast systems like the RASA. Celestron engineers have solved this problem by incorporating an optical window into the RASA that can be removed and replaced with a filter. This ensures that image quality remains at its highest level even when using a filter or when the camera has its own optical window. Celestron offers a light pollution filter specifically designed for the 8\" RASA that replaces the optical window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll light-refracting optical surfaces are StarBright-XLT coated , and the primary mirror has an improved aluminum coating.

The brightness of the moon through the eyepiece can really wash out most of the fine lunar details and be straining on your eyes. Lunar filters improve the image by reducing glare from the bright moonlight, increasing contrast, and therefore make faint details more visible. Amateur astronomers refer to lunar filters as \"sunglasses for the moon\" because they allow for more comfortable viewing. The eyes are less strained and fatigue less quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter set contains everything you need to observe the moon in its various phases. The set allows you to select the best filter for different eyepiece and telescope combinations. Use the darkest filter with large-aperture telescopes and lower-magnification eyepieces. Use the weaker filters with smaller telescopes and higher-magnification eyepieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit is essential for those who want to take the next step in exploring the full viewing capabilities of their telescope, or for experienced lunar observers who use a variety of telescopes and eyepieces to observe the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree neutral density (ND) filters: ND96-0.9 (13% transmission), ND96-0.6 (25% transmission), and ND96-0.3 (50% transmission) - These filters dim the entire visual spectrum from 400-700nm uniformly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ND96-0.9 filter transmits 13% of the incident light\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ND96-0.6 filter transmits 25% of the incident light\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ND96-0.3 filter transmits 50% of the incident light. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey do not alter the color of the moon's image but reduce its brightness to a comfortable level.
