  NexStar® 8i

Upgraded Hand Control Features:

• 40,000 Object Database — A newly enlarged and expanded programmable user database including the complete Messier, NGC, IC and Caldwell catalogs. Customized lists of all the best Galaxies, Nebulae and other Deep-sky objects. Room to save hundreds of user defined objects.

• Quick Align — An easy way to get an Alt/Az telescope tracking without actually aligning on two stars.

• Dual Axis Tracking — Tracking of any object in the sky, including the moon and planets.

• Hibernate — This power saving feature lets you power down the telescope without losing your alignment (must input time if CN16 GPS accessory is not attached). Great for finding planets in the daytime after aligning at night or observing night after night without having to re-align.

• Database Filter Limits — User-defined so that only objects visible above the horizon are displayed on the hand control.

• Wedge Align Algorithm — Automatically aligns the telescope to the celestial pole. Essential when you are performing a polar alignment on an Equatorial wedge.

• GPS Align Compatible (with optional CN16 GPS accessory) — Plug the optional CN16 GPS accessory into the auxiliary port and the telescope automatically aligns without unnecessary data input.

• Auto North and Level Compatible (with optional CN16 GPS accessory) — Automatically finds north and level with more precision than can be done by hand, getting you closer to your alignment stars. 

• User-Defined Slew Limits — Prevents the telescope from slewing beyond the user-defined horizon.

• Cord Wrap — Prevents the telescope from wrapping its cords when attaching optional accessories.

• Dozens of Other Powerful Features

NEW NexStar Software.
Now Our Beauties Come With More Brains.

 
The beauty of Celestron’s NexStar GPS telescopes has always been their unique appearance characterized by their patented design, engineering innovations like patented AutoAlign, user-friendly intuitive software, and solid aluminum construction. We’ve made them even more attractive by upgrading the software with additional new features that are included with all Celestron NexStar GPS telescopes including our new 5i and 8i.

Some of the new features include:

• Compass Calibration — Allows you to point to true north more accurately, by compensating for magnetic north offset and local anomalies.

• AutoAlign Routine — Guides the user through a two-star alignment based on time, date and location information.

• Polar Alignment Routine — Facilitates polar alignment for CCD imaging or conventional 35mm astrophotography.

• EQ AutoAlign — Now the patented AutoAlign is available even when the telescope is mounted on a wedge.

• Database Filter Limits — Now available in Equatorial mode 
as well as Alt/Az.
Optional CN-16 GPS
