It features a clock drive on a right ascension axis for tracking targets. Celestron built CAT's from 90mm to 14' in clear aperture (all in their Torrance plant), but it was the C8, an 8' SCT, that had made Celestron's reputation and it remained their signature product.As Im sure you know, the C8 is a Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope (SCT), a type that belongs to a class of telescopes that uses both refractive and reflective.(Image credit: Celestron) NexStar Evolution 8: First light and functionalityThis is one of the last fork mounted Celestron C8 telescopes that is not equipped with go to technology. Celestron operated almost like an extended family and they produced very high quality telescopes.

Celestron - 8' SCT Telescope with CGEM II Equatorial Mount As the larger cousin to the C6-A XLT, the Celestron C8-A XLT has 843x the light gathering power of the human eye which dwarfs smaller telescopes of this scale. Telescopes of this type sold for 1199 to 1599 when.
Continuing our tour of the constellation, we tested the optical system on the more-diffuse Orion Nebula (Messier 42), which required reverting back to the 40 mm eyepiece. Slewing to the opposite corner of Orion, we picked out the bluish-white hue of Rigel.Again, there was no interference or issues with the resolution of this brilliant, 0.12-magnitude supergiant. The redness of the latter was easily recognisable, and the optical system seemed to have no major issues with chromatic or spherical aberration. Heading over to our winter favourite, we took the time to gaze upon stellar opposites, Rigel and Betelgeuse. From the dark patches of the lunar mare, to the distinguishable craters of Tycho and Copernicus and the lunar terminator, the optics presented a crisp view with high clarity and resolution.Moving away from the moon, we explored some deep-sky targets in Orion (the Hunter).
It's easy to set up and, by taking advantage of all the latest technology combined with its optical prowess, is capable of providing a complete high definition tour of the night sky.With a price that's suited to large budgets, it's a sturdy and reliable instrument that comes with a 24-month warranty. However, if you are looking to improve your images, you should purchase the ‘Wedge’ for the NexStar Evolution, which enables long-exposure photography.The Celestron NexStar Evolution 8 is an extremely impressive piece of kit. It is specified that the telescope can accommodate most cameras, especially larger format CCD (charge-coupled device) and DSLR cameras. The central concentration of light was a magnificent sight and, when combined with the surrounding dust trails stopping the visible light in its path to Earth, there was an appreciated disparity.As this mount is motorized, and is capable of tracking a celestial object as it moves across the sky, it's a must-try for some serious astrophotography.
The Celestron NexStar Evolution 8 can be pushed to its useful magnification of 480x without suffering the consequences of poor, blurred images. Operation of its WiFi technology is seamless, while the computerized GoTo mount boasts exceedingly high performance. For beginners and casual astronomers, we recommend the NexStar or Astro-Fi range of Celestron telescopes.The NexStar Evolution 8's optical system ranks as one of the best we've ever had the pleasure of looking at the universe through.
