  • QuestionDoes it require internet connection to trace and find the planets?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer No internet connection needed! The on-board NexStar hand controller is used to locate objects. Simply align the telescope using the simple Sky-Align routine and you are set. It's a simple process that allows the telescope to become "aware" of where objects are located. Then simply use the controller to tell the telescope what object you want to look at. Our NexStar telescopes are super easy to use!

  • QuestionIs it an Equatorial stand with 2" legs?

    Asked by Jerry.

    • Answer The Nexstar 8se comes with an alt-az mount with legs just under 2 inches in diameter. If an equatorial mount is needed, the Celestron 8 telescope will work perfectly on the AVX mount, which does have 2-inch legs. The C-8/AVX package can be seen here: https://www.celestron.com/products/advanced-vx-8-schmidt-cassegrain-telescope

  • QuestionDoes it include a power supply?

    Asked by JOSinOKC.

    • Answer The Nexstar 8se ships without a power supply. The telescope's native power supply is internal AA batteries. Accessory power supplies, like the Celestron 2-amp and 5-amp wall adapters, car battery adapter, or any of the Celestron Powertank batteries will power the Nexstar 8se.

  • QuestionCan you hook the 8SE up to a smart TV to view from inside the house or do you need to record and play back via mirroring ? Basically I want to know if you can use this scope with a smart phone to watch on TV .

    Asked by Bob.

    • Answer The Nexstar 8se is a visual use telescope. It has no built-in imaging system or wifi connection. Only the Celestron Origin telescope has this capability. You can add third-party cameras to the Nexstar 8se and broadcast an image from the camera control laptop, but Celestron does not sell the gear needed to broadcast images to a remote viewing device.

  • QuestionWhat is the maxomum magnification achievable with this device?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer The maximum magnification of a telescope is variable depending on how stable the atmosphere is. The accepted rule of thumb to prevent using excess magnification that will degrade the image is 30X per inch of telescope aperture. Thus, the Nexstar 8se will handle up toi 240X. Our 9mm eyepieces will deliver 222X with this telescope.

  • QuestionDo you have 11 inch?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Celestron offers an 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, available in both classic and Edge HD optical configurations and available as a optical tube, or combined with either the CPC, CPC Deluxe, AVX, CGEMM II, CGX, or CGX-L mounts. Not all retailers stock the larger C-11 and you may have to contact a dedicated astronomy dealer to purchase the C-11.

  • QuestionCan you use a cellphone camera to take images as seen through the telescope ?

    Asked by Ajay.
