Celestron's signature telescopes reach a new level with NexStar Evolution 6, the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with integrated WiFi. Leave your hand control behind and slew to all the best celestial objects with a tap of your smartphone or tablet.
Accessories included: 40mm & 13mm Plössl (1.25"), Visual back (1.25”), StarPointer Pro™ finderscope, StarSense AutoAlign, and a 1.25" star diagonal. 8” EdgeHD optical tube provides superb visual and astro-imaging performance, free of coma and field curvature.
With an 8″ aperture, it provides aberration-free images across a wide visual field of view. Other features of note are the reduction in an off-axis-star coma and increased ability to focus on stars at the edge due to the flatter focal plane (3x flatter than equivalent Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescopes).
NexStar Evolution is equipped with 4 auxiliary ports—two on top of the fork and two on the bottom. A StarSense hand control is still included, but is not necessary when using NexStar Evolution with the app.
