Description: | All of the standard features of the NexStar 5 are repeated in the NexStar 8, with the addition of Celestron's famous 8" optics with Starbright multi-coating. This NexStar telescope offers images twice as bright as a 5" telescope. An adjustable aluminum tripod, premium 1¼", 40mm Plössl eyepiece, Star Diagonal, Star Pointer and AC adapter are standard. You may also want to add an optional solar filter, lens shade/dew cap or a wide selection of eyepieces. Numerous optional accessories are available to enhance your observing including a four-element, fully multicoated reducer/corrector which increases the brightness to f/6.3 while reducing the focal length by 37% for more visual coverage of wide field objects.
