The
Nexstar Evolution 8 "HD Telescope is an 8" (
203.2mm )
Schmidt-Cassegrain Optical Model Astronomical Telescope incorporating advanced Comma-Free
Edge HD optics and
StarBright XLT optical treatment. This combination of HD optics and special treatment achieve a significant improvement
in image definition, color, brightness and contrast , in short, it eliminates any type of chromatic aberration in order to enjoy a
perfect observation of space . This treatment is also highly valued by
astrophotographers , achieving higher quality and sharper photographs.
The telescope has an aperture of
203.2mm , a focal length of
2032mm , a focal ratio of
f / 10 and comes complete with two eyepieces,
40 and 12.5mm (51X, 163X) . The red led
Star Pointer Pro finder gives us greater precision when searching for an object and / or orienting ourselves.
The
mount is altazimuth fork , with the possibility of attaching an equatorial wedge to transform it into an equatorial one. This mount is robust, capable of supporting the 8 "optical tube with great stability and a very stable
stainless steel tripod .
The most special feature of this telescope is the
integrated wi-fi system through the portal or
SkyPortal App . With this system you can guide your telescope with your mobile device, be it a
smartphone or tablet with an
Android or IOS system . This management system is very practical for observations in the field, since they facilitate orientation and monitoring. In addition to the Wi-fi system, the Nexstar Evolution 8 HD incorporates the
StarSense Auto Align alignment system, this is a revolutionary system that uses a built-in photography camera, which takes three pictures of 3 celestial points, which already serve the telescope to its
positioning, alignment and guidance in just
3 minutes . The same system offers a space tour and a database of more than
120,000 objects .
The power is provided by a
rechargeable lithium battery, which lasts 10 hours. It can be charged using a
USB charger connected to the mount.
