Celestron 11069 NexStar 8SE Geautomatiseerde Schmidt-Cassegrain-telescoop met volledig automatische montering, SkyAlign-technologie en XLT-coating, Zwart/oranje

Hola a todos, recibí el telescopio vendido por Amazon ,en muy buen estado, como el cuidado que han tenido de traerlo de reino Unido sin arañazos y nada que se suele encontrar en un pedido de tantos km en tan perfectas condiciones. E leído las reseñas de muchos compradores como yo, y tenía mis dudas ,pero con la confianza de devolución en caso de venir mal,pues me decidí a comprarlo y muy contento con el producto,calidad celestron!!!Básicamente viene como si lo compraras en la misma tienda celestron ( bien colimado)y si, viene con 1 ocular pero no se acaba el mundo hay muchas variedades de oculares y estos son caretes ,pero es como todo en esta vida,se paga la calidad si vas a darle 1 uso frecuente,si no, hay más variedades de fabricantes.El telescopio de calidad ,la montura es perfecta para este tubo y la goto funciona perfectamente y si le sumas el módulo WiFi, mejor que mejor. Todo correcto y quien tenga duda,que no se lo piense.

This was originally bought for a ground based study of satellite antenna and terrestrial microwave physical interference project. I used it to find visible obstructions like buildings, trees, etc following the satellite arc and line-of-site communications at a proposed telecommunications sight. It is quite powerful. For instance, at a 4km distance, it could barely show a single window of a high rise condominium building in is field of view. Since then, it has been used for enjoyment. Looking at the moon, stars, etc. And I have bought many other accessories, lenses, etc for this new hobby. As a star gazer, you might want a more powerful scope, but it has been fun to start with. I bought a camera lens adapter for my digital SLR and have taken some amazing pictures with it. Talk about a telefoto lens! I still struggle with the automatic tracking feature. I guess I need to learn a little bit more about the stars to get it working properly.

The Amazon price was amazing and I'm not surprised it went up by almost $900, a day or two after I bought it. Delivery was quick in the US and slowed up a bit in Australia, but that's to be expected. We're still using camel trains to transport goods and most communication is done between two tin cans with a few hundred kilometres of string between them.The telescope was well packaged and took about 15 minutes to put together. One of the retaining screws for the Star Diagonal is missing but I'm pretty sure I can find something that will fit.I have only had a chance to test it terrestrially because of rain at night but I'm sure it will be fine.If Celestron and almost every other corporation on the planet didn't gouge Australians so badly on price I'd buy locally but it looks like Amazon is going to get more of my business.

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 imageEasy assemblyEasily transportable and storableSturdy enough tripodEasy alignement with the hand controllerThe 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.)

Ich habe mir dieses Teleskop gekauft weil, es sehr kompakt und relativ leicht zu bedienen ist. dank der "SkyAlign" Technologie lässt sich das Teleskop sehr leicht ausrichten. Die Einrichtung des Handcomputers ist relativ einfach und gut beschrieben. Das Teleskop kann auch sehr gut als Tischteleskop verwendet werden.Es kann mit 8AA Batterien (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten) oder, mit einem optional erhältlichem Netzteil betrieben werden. Wenn das Teleskop mit Batterien betrieben wird alten diese ca.4-5 Stunden.Dank dem Leuchtpunktsucher kann jedes Himmelsobjekt sehr leicht anvisiert werden.Fazit : Das Teleskop eignet sich gut als Reiseteleskop und lässt sich leicht handhaben.
