Bushnell BSH788890 Northstar 90mm Maksutove Telescope
Bushnell now manufacturers a NorthStar Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope with the incredibly popular GoTo capabilities. The Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT) design has become the most popular in amateur astronomy because it is a master of compromise. SCTs are not unwieldy like a refractor, nor do they require the cleaning regimen of a Newtonian reflector. They instead have great optics, a relatively wide field of view, and a good ratio of light gathering per dollar.
After a simple alignment procedure, the user merely tells the scope where to go among its 20,000-object database. Everything needed to begin enjoyable viewing immediately is included in the package.
- Remote control with voice communications
- Included tripod is 42″ / 107cm fully extended
- Included Barlow lens doubles your eyepiece power, giving you twice the magnification when used with appropriately powered eyepieces
- Alt-azimuth computerized tracking of celestial objects
- Adaptable to cameras
