Using Celestron's proprietary StarBright XLT multi-coating system, light transmission is increased throughout the entire optical path with anti-reflection multi-coated lenses, highly-reflective multi-coated mirrors, and Crown optical glass elements. It comes with a NextStar+ computer hand controller, which is equipped with 40,000 celestial object presets and can hold an additional 200 user-defined destinations. When you begin, be sure to include your time and time zone and then align on two known stars. Then the computer will know its location and is able to automatically find declination and right ascension of any of the objects in its database. There is also a "Tour Mode" which shows you a selection of popular objects for the time and date you are observing. This rental comes with 3 camera adapters for Nikon, Canon, and Sony mounts (see Rental Included tab for details) so that you can attach your camera directly to this telescope for astrophotography. The included tripod is extendable from 3' to 4' so that you can sit or stand when looking through the 60x magnification eyepiece. A focusing ring allows you to observe objects without your glasses on, if desired. This telescope is ideal for star enthusiasts, backyard astronomers, astrophotographers, students, teachers, and night sky workshops.
