The astronomical telescope brand
CELESTRON takes a step forward to take its telescopes to the next level with the new
NEXSTAR EVOLUTION series. The CELESTRON NEXSTAR EVOLUTION 8 telescope is the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with integrated
WIFI. Forget the joystick and navigate to the best celestial objects just by clicking on your smartphone or tablet. Connect your device to the
NEXSTAR EVOLUTION telescope's wireless network and explore the Universe with the
CELESTRONmobile app for iOS and Android devices
Use the planetary interface (software) to view the night sky in real time or list all currently visible celestial objects based on your location and time. The SKYALIGN alignment method created by CELESTRON has been integrated into the CELESTRON mobile app so you can be ready to observe in just a few minutes.
The easiest to use telescope in history
CELESTRON engineers have built the new NEXSTAR EVOLUTION based on accumulated feedback and comments made by users over several years. It offers many technical specifications designed and thought out in depth that combine to give you the best possible experience under the stars.
Forget about batteries or external power supplies. For the first time in the history of consumer astronomical telescopes, the new CELESTRON NEXSTAR EVOLUTION includes its own integrated Lithium-Ion battery. You will be able to enjoy long observing sessions of up to 10 hours on a single charge. You can even use the NEXSTAR EVOLUTION 's USB charging port to power other devices you need to power during your observing session.
Setting up your CELESTRON NEXSTAR EVOLUTION telescope is quick and effortless thanks to the large, ergonomic handles. The steel tripod uses locking knobs to help you level it. Manual clutches for both altitude and azimuth give you the flexibility to manually aim your telescope when working without power.
Stores up to 7 eyepieces in two accessory trays, one of which has a dimmable LED illuminator.
Superior tracking for astrophotography
If you are interested in astrophotography, the 8" CELESTRON NEXSTAR EVOLUTION is an excellent and affordable way to get started. It is the only fork mount telescope in its product range that offers an enhanced motorized bis-infinity system. The guiding accuracy of the NEXSTAR EVOLUTION telescopes is impressive and will allow you to image deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula (M42) by simply attaching the camera to the telescope. As you progress in the astrophotography hobby, you can increase your exposure time to obtain more detailed photos by purchasing the CELESTRON PRO HD Equatorial Wedge.
Of course, the Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system offers bright and sharp images thanks to its STARBRIGHT XLT optical treatment. A great choice for visual observers as well as astrophotographers who want to get started.
The NEXSTAR EVOLUTION includes a bright pointer finder, two 1.25" Plössl eyepieces, a 1.25" zenith prism and also the traditional control knob.
