NEXSTAR 8SE Computerized Telescope

i can see distant galaxies and nebulae but don't know why i can't see my future from it it's amazing

NASA has approved to place this telescope after Hubble will expire. This was told to me by my NASA colleague, while we were preparing for the rocket launch in Tibet, Saturn in Andromeda Galaxy, outside of the universe.

This is real review.... I am currently on Mars and I saw dinosaur on earth 🌍... I think with this telescope I'm teleported to Mars in past Amazing isn't it

I saw the entire solar system with this one!

I bought it to see my long distance girlfriend as I was bored with video calls. Now I can see my girlfriend sitting on my rooftop. I am very happy purchasing the product... GO FOR IT... Worth every penny 😍

I bought this in September. But i was abke to open the package only this month as i was stuck in another city during this covide period. I opened the package and saw all these screws missing. Why are all these screws missing?? Has this telescope been tampered with??

I will buy this if the price is below 20k. Want to explore the night sky with this telescope one day.

I was just an average person until I got this one. Now I can see the future, so I'm a fortune teller now. Thanks for all the genuine reviews out there. Price is too cheap.

This is my second scope. The first was a Bushnell 4.5 inch reflector of disputable quality. The mirror was good, but I had to replace the flimzy tripod and get better eyepieces to even attempt to see anything clearly. This telescope is superior a hundred fold . The image of jupiter, for instance, is crisp and clear with the included 25mm eyepiece, Seeing hasn't been very good here, in Quebec City, these last few days, but I was able to observe the king of planets with a 10mm eyepiece and enjoy details impossible to discern with my old reflector. Allignement of the go to is relatively simple. The hand controller has a red backlight to preserve night vision. However, with the backlight on during allignement, the scrolling of instructions on the hand controller display is unreadable. Tracking is good, but I have noticed that occasionaly, the scope seems to loose track of the object, which makes it necessary to use the hand controller to bring things back on track. One of the reasons I purchased this scope was because it can be easily transported and assembled. The tube need not be removed from the mount. It can be rotated vertically to align with the mount arm into a neat compact package easily storable in my OTA bag. The tripod is also compact and light. Contrary to other comments, I find the tripod and mount well built and sturdy enough for the nexstar. A question of opinion, I suppose. I purchased the 18774 power tank with this scope, which I think is essential. The tracking motor will eat through the required AA batteries in no time. I also burchased the AC adapter. There is only one 25mm eyepiece included with the scope. The purchase of a few more of different magnification, a barlow and a few filters such as a lunar filter is a good idea. However, the nexstar is highly usable with the included accessory. There are many resources on the web which are helpful in the use of this SCT. Michael Swanson's Nexstar site, for one, has a lot of good info, although some of it seems outdated. Youtube is also a good source of valuable information. Included in the box: Scope and tripod (obviously) , tripod accessory tray, level for the tripod, 25mm eyepiece, 1.25 inch Star diagonal, Starpointer finderscope, The Sky Level 1 Astronomy Software, NexRemote telescope control software, RS232 Cable (you'll need an RS232 to USB adapter for newer computers) The good: Crisp image Easy assembly Easily transportable and storable Sturdy enough tripod Easy alignement with the hand controller The Bad: Scrolling text on the hand controller is unreadable when backlight is on. Tracking sometimes lost. To conclude, I have so far no regrets with my purchase. And although I have only a few hours of observations with the scope, I am quite satisfied. With mars and saturn soon to be in opposition, I believe the next few weeks will bring loads of astronomical fun. ***After a couple months of use, I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with this scope. I had mentionned in my initial review that the scrolling text on the hand controller (HC) was unreadable at night, with the red backlight on. As I navigated through the numerous menus on the HC, I realized that I could set the speed of the scrolling, which pretty well solved that problem. So scratch that from the "Bad". The gears in this scope produce some backlash. This problem is well documented on the web and must be taken into consideration when attempting to do a proper star alignement and expect the scope to center on planets. Without some ajustements in the settings of the HC, planets will never align properly in your eye piece once the star alignement has been performed. I've found some very helpful astronomy forums with valuable info regarding different settings to minimize the impact of this backlash. I've added a spotting scope which makes the optical tube back heavy. I had no idea that this could have an impact on the the alignement, but it does. Call that a newb's mistake, I suppose . All in all, my experience with this telescopes has greatly improved with the knowledge collected on the web. So, the second point on my "bad" list still applies, but it can be remedied. My allignements are still not perfect. I still have to test some settings, but I'm getting very close. It's only a matter of time. But all this does not minimize the fact that this great telescope has enabled me to observe the marvels of our solar system and beyond with a clarity that truly amazes me. It's easy to set up, light and transportable. A great buy for a beginner like myself, and certainly for more experienced amateur astronomers. And worthy of its fifth star. (PS. The celestron GPS for this scope is a very helpful addition, by the way.) Celestron 93969 SkySync GPS Accessory

Very nice and easy-to-use and assemble final i saw Jupiter

Il prodotto è di buona fattura, non ho trovato difetti di sorta. Buono anche l'imballaggio che può essere usato anche per lo stoccaggio dello strumento. Il treppiede è ben fatto e solido ed è di rapido montaggio con la testa della montatura. Per i principianti come me, consiglio di scaricare il software Celestron per aiutare l'allineamento del telescopio e per l'update del computer della montatura. Sono molto soddisfatto dell' acquisto.

This is my first telescope since I was a teen. Setting up the telescope wasn’t easy. Need patience, but once set up great views. As the telescope only comes with one lens, you should include additional lenses with greater magnification.

جهاز شبه احترافي للرصد البصري وأقرب للمستوى الخبراء المتقدمين في الرصد البصري قادر على رؤية تفاصيل دقيقة جدًا من القمر تشبه رؤيته وقت النزول على سطح القمر من مركبة فضائية وللتخيل لو رصدت القمر في مرحلة التربيع او الهلال بهذا التلسكوب سترى إن التفاصيل الدقيقة تظهر أمامك مباشرة وتكون هذا هي المرة الاولى الذي ترى التفاصيل الواضحة بدقة متناهية وبوضوح الشمس، لن تبدو باهتة أو متذبذبة ، تبقى ثابتة كالصخر وكذلك كوكب المشتري الرغم أنه يبعد عن الارض تقريبا حوالي مليار كيلومتر تستطيع رؤية تفاصيل دقيقة بصريا مثل القطبين والتعرجات في السحب والعاصفة الحمراء تظهر واضحة جدا مثل وضوح الشمس كشكل بيضاوي والوردي اللون يمكنك بدقة متناهية تحديد الموقع الدقيق من العاصفة الحمراء في الكوكب كما اللون الكريمي من الكوكب يصبح واضحا وليس قرص ابيض مثل الفلاش. كل هذا بتكبير 135x وهو يعتبر منخفض نسبياً بالنسبة للتلسكوب! انصح فيه فهو يستحق كل ريال الذي دفعته،.ملاحظة إضافية، القمر في مرحلة البدر من هذا الجهاز راح يبدو ساطع جداً لدرجة مؤلمة للعين المجردة في هذا الحالة تحتاج حل نهائي للسطوع أما فلتر القمر أو مستقطاب متغير. عندما ترى القمر بدون فلاتر ستنبهر عيونك فوراً واذا تغمض بعد رؤية القمر راح تلاحظ نقطة بيضاء كبيرة بسبب شدة السطوع ما انصحكم تشوفون القمر في أوقات البدر لان راح تعمى عيونك اذا كنت تبي تشوفه وقت البدر فلتر قمر او مستقطب ضروري جدًا وتعتبر حالة مهمة جدًا لهذا الامر وبالنسبة للسماء العميقة لن تبدو باهتة بعد هذا اللحظة عندما يكون لديك مثل هذا النوع من التلسكوب فهو ممتاز جدا بل من أفضل التلسكوبات الذي رايتها بصريا ويمكنك رؤية سديم الجبار وأجنحته العميقة بإستخدام فلتر OIII يمكنك رؤية التفاصيل الداخلية مثل العروق والهياكل الحقيقية بصريا فهو فلتر قاسِ ويزيل 98% من التلوث الضوئي والخلفية تصبح سوداء فاحمة مثلما ترى الجرم وانت في الصحراء كما تستطيع إخراج الالوان الطبيعية من السدم والمجرات التي تبعد مليارات الكيلومترات ومئات ملايين السنين الضوئية بسهولة وذلك عن طريق التصوير و التكديس، يبدو الجهاز باهظ الثمن نوعا ما لكن قيمته مقابل جودة الرصد والرؤية تستحق بكثير إنه شي مذهل حقا وأدهشني جودته
