The Celestron SCT is a powerful, versatile and user-friendly Schmidt-Cassegrain style telescope that can be used for observing Moon, planets, deep sky objects like galaxies and nebulae. Celestron's proprietary StarBright XLT multi-coating system offers increased light transmission throughout the entire optical path with anti-reflection multicoated lenses, highly reflective multicoated mirrors, and 4-element rare-earth glass. The scope's precision tracking system allows it to be a competent astrophotography and astroimaging platform for the Moon and planets with its f/10 focal ratio. The Evolution features two ways to use and control it. There is the 4-line 18-character NexStar computer controller that offers a database of over 40,000 celestial objects plus several astronomical catalogs including the Messier and Caldwell. Computerized GoTo mount with high-performance worm gears and motors are incorporated for improved tracking accuracy, along with reduced gear backlash. |
