Celestron NexStar Evolution Wi-Fi 8″ HD StarSense -tähtikaukoputki

The NexStar Evolution is a computer-controlled Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with built-in Wi-Fi. It is controlled via a smartphone or tablet and is suitable for both visual observation and getting started with astrophotography. Take a look at our other products too astronomical telescopes in our range.

Control via the mobile app

The telescope creates its own wireless network, to which an iOS or Android device can connect. The free Celestron app’s planetarium view displays the sky in real time or lists the objects currently visible based on your location and the time of day. The app’s built-in SkyAlign alignment feature gets the device ready for observation in a matter of minutes, and you can point it at a target with a single tap.

Battery life and ergonomics for long observation shifts

The built-in lithium-ion battery provides power for up to 10 hours of continuous use without a separate power source. The USB charging port can also be used to charge a mobile phone or tablet. The carrying handles make it easy to set up, the markings on the steel tripod legs help you adjust the height to ensure it is level, and the manual switches allow you to adjust the angle by hand and switch the power off.

A guide to astrophotography

The fork mount’s worm gear mechanisms and improved motors reduce play and improve tracking accuracy. Deep-sky objects, such as the Orion Nebula, can be photographed by attaching a system camera directly to the telescope. For longer exposures, the Pro HD Wedge can be added to the mount at a later date.
