Celestron NexStar 8
If you buy a cheap Celestron it sucks. If it's over $700 it's
great! In this case so is the NexStar 8. When I saw the
NexStar 5 I knew the mount was too big for it.
Whatever. The tracking is good, but the mount is not designed
for long-exposure astrophotography. The optics are also pretty
good. I've seen better computerized 8-inch SCTs.
However it's a good choice for a highly portable, computerized
SCT. What I don't like is that it's not built for a tripod.
Have you seen it on one?
