Celestron Astro-Fi 5 "Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

The Schmidt-Cassegrain Celostron Astro Fi 5 " telescope is a model 127mm aperture Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with an altazimuth mount . The Schmidt-Cassegrain design allows for greater power at magnification, that is   ideal for planetary and deep sky observation in full detail. Up to here it could be a basic initiation telescope, but in it we found a novelty that has not been developed until now, the possibility of controlling the telescope from your mobile device through the wi-fi connection.

The SkyPortal application for Android and IOS will allow you to configure the control of your telescope, which already has an integrated Wi-Fi communication system. To start the observation you will only need three celestial points , no matter what they are, and he will automatically calculate your position, from here the same function of SkyAlign will take you on a tour of space. This telescope allows memorizing up to 120,000 celestial objects .
The multi-coated optics of this telescope follow the quality of Celestron, incorporating two eyepieces , 10 and 25mm (125 and 50X). The focal length is 1250mm and the focal ratio is 10 . Therefore, it is a suitable instrument for planetary and deep sky observation, a much brighter team than its serial partners. With it you can discover the planets in detail and also have a unique view of galaxies and nebulae. The search engine is of the StarPointer model.
The kit comes complete with an Altazimuth fork mount , similar to that of the Celestron LCM series, and a very stable aluminum tripod . This mount is mainly intended for observation use, although it allows astrophotography to large celestial objects, such as the Moon and its surface.
