The Celestron NexStar 8SE pairs an 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical design with modern GoTo technology for detailed, automated observing and imaging, gathering over 1.5× more light than the 6SE. Portable, powerful, and easy to use, the 8SE is perfect as your first serious telescope or as an upgrade from a smaller instrument. The catadioptric construction combines refraction and reflection in a compact tube that maintains a long focal length, making it ideal for crisp, high-magnification views of the moon and planets thanks to its large aperture and built-in computer system.
