| Product Name: | Celestron NexStar 8 SE Telescope [Telescope Only, NexStar 8SE Computerized Telescope] |
| Product Description: | Big Mirror, Small Price With a full 8 inches of aperture, the 8SE reveals details in even the faintest celestial objects. With this much light-gathering ability, you’ll clearly observe Cassini’s Division in Saturn’s rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and the Great Red Spot. Beyond the solar system, your 8SE will show you hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more. And don’t forget the Moon—you’ll see craters and geographic features like never before. Revolutionary Single Fork Arm Mount We know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That’s why Celestron’s engineers created NexStar SE’s unique, patented single fork arm mount. It’s perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What’s more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You’ll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard. Of course, it’s what’s inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with pushbutton ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible. Aligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself! Advanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You The NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Control your telescope using your iPhone or iPad with our SkyQ Link, or add GPS functionality with SkySync. If you’re interested in astroimaging, the NexStar SE is Fastar-compatible for ultra-fast, wide field imaging. For planetary imaging, there’s no better choice than a NexStar 8SE paired with one of our Skyris cameras. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion. |

A couple notes:
1. It's takes 8 AA batteries. Depending on usage/tracking, expect them to last 4 to 6 hours. You can get a Celestron power bank or use AC power.
2. This isn't a typical equatorial mount where you can manually move the scope around. Once polar alignment is done, it's best to adjust the direction using the arrow keys on the controller.
3. There's a lot of flexibility in this scope and it's easy to start using, and can really grow with you for years to come.
4. This is also a great scope for entry level astrophotography.
I am not kidding with my first sentence. to get high res images. you need a GoTo mount with half its rated weight capacity for your imaging rig. Example, this 8SE scope is approximately 15lbs. you need a GoTo equatorial mount that has a 40lbs weight capacity to hold 20lbs of imaging gear (camera, guidescope, guidecamera, optical tube assembly, autofocuser) such as the Skywatcher EQ6R-pro or a CGEM II. There is no compromising by buying cheaper mounts or equipment and offsetting by skill.

I see it, but you can double check on the checkout page.
Completely agree...this is an incredible deal. I have the 6SE and just decided to upgrade to the 8SE at this price point.

This would be VERY difficult to use for Astrophotography. But if you want to do super short exposures, this will still work. It will be very hard to polar align without spending extra for something like a QHY polemaster. If this 8SE has the allstar polar alignment on its software, then it would be possible to do some Astrophotography. Otherwise, I could only see attaching a used DSLR on the back with a T adapater and T ring for very short 10 second exposures for deep sky objects. You would be limited to objects like the Orion Nebula or planetary nebula such as the Helix and Ring nebulas. If you're in a city with light pollution, you can only image planets and the moon (but possibly the Orion Nebula).
