Celestron Nexstar 5.8 Question?
Good afternoon everyone, I have a Celestron NexStar 8 series, I've had for many years and am waiting for update a few things to start doing more with it. Firstly there is a way to add GPS to the current computer system of star search? Then, in addition, own a Nikon D80 and would like to do some astrophotography BASIC (the moon, planets, maybe a little more?) mounting a camera, or what is necessary for me to get the results I am looking for. I love the sky, but are tired of having to align, so I was waiting for the GPS to do that for me, and to improve "accuracy" to start so I can concentrate on taking photos ... someone could give about these things for my telescope and camera? Thanks to all information in advance - Ben
If yours is one of the first NexStar 8, I do not think you can upgrade. All GPS does not automatically enter the date and time, does not align the scope. You still have to make a two-star alignment at all times.

Celestron 21062 AstroMaster 70 EQ Refractor Telescope
List Price: |
DescriptionCelestron’s AstroMaster 70 EQ combines the solid optical performance of a classic achromatic refractor with a German style equatorial mount. The Astromaster 70 features easy no-tool setup and much better optics than 60mm beginner scopes. The Astromaster package includes high and low power eyepieces, a correct image diagonal prism, illustrated instructions, and planetarium software for your PC. The AstroMaster 70 EQ features very good optical performance. Achromatic refractors have a two piece objective lens, the second lens element compensates for “chromatic aberration”, the false color or blue fringes seen in low cost telescopes. In daylight tests I see very little blue fringing with the standard equipment 10mm eyepiece (90X magnification), and none at all with the 20mm eyepiece (45X). Stars and planets show up very nicely with the AstroMaster 70. The bright double star Castor, one of the “twins” in the constellation Gemini, is cleanly split at 90X with the 10mm eyepiece. When I tried an optional 6mm Plossl eyepiece for a magnification of 150X, I was treated to lovely views of Saturn’s rings and the little orange disk of Mars. My view of the Moon was delightfully crisp and clear; the 20mm eyepiece nicely frames the Lunar disk, and using the 10mm eyepiece I could easily see mountain peaks and terraced walls inside the crater Copernicus. The AstroMaster 70 EQ also features a newly designed tripod with 1.25 inch stainless steel legs. This new tripod holds the telescope firmly; I had no trouble focusing even with a high power eyepiece. The equatorial mount is a little more complicated to balance and align than the AstroMaster 70 AZ , but the reward is better slow motion control and tracking at magnifications over 100X. Simply point the equatorial axis at Polaris, the North Star, and the telescope tracks celestial objects by turning one slow motion knob. This makes it much easier to use a high power eyepiece while viewing the Moon and Planets. The “star pointer” finder scope works by shining a red LED on a plastic window; just look through the window and line up the red spot with your target. This works OK for bright objects like the Moon and planets but not so well for finding galaxies and deep space objects. The AstroMaster 70 EQ is a very good entry level telescope for a student or family. The good quality 70mm optics produce an image that is significantly sharper and brighter than 60mm beginner scopes, and the AstroMaster 70 EQ includes a solid mount, two good eyepieces, and fully illustrated instructions. --Jeff Phillips Pros: Reliable refractor design Good views of the Moon and planets Complete accessory package Simple no tool setup Cons: Star-pointer not so easy to use Celestron AstroMaster 70EQ 45 - 90X Refractor Telescope with Equatorial Mount. Affordable, powerful, lightweight... the perfect choice for amateur astronomers and backyard stargazers! Proving once again that you don't need NASA's budget to see the stars. If you're aiming to get started in astronomy, the AstroMaster 70EQ's blend of quality optics, entry-level usability and affordable price is tough to beat. It's lightweight, easy to haul to the darker skies found outside city limits, and requires no tools to set up. For celestial and "earthbound" observation on a dime, the Celestron AstroMaster outshines the rest! Specifications: German Equatorial mount with setting circles to accurately locate and track sky objects; 70 mm aperture size; Includes 20 mm eyepiece for 45X magnification, 10 mm eyepiece for 90X; Refractor optical design; Fully-coated glass optics with high-transmission coatings for enhanced brightness and clarity; Built-in StarPointer red laser for easy targeting; Comes with The Sky X Planetarium software, featuring a 10,000 object database to get you started; Focal length: 900 mm; Focal ratio: 12.86; Limiting stellar magnitude: 11.7; Light-gathering power: 165X; Angular F.O.V.: 1.1 degrees; Linear F.O.V.: 58'; Optical tube length: 36"; 1.25" erect image diagonal; Weighs 18 lbs.

Celestron Flexible C8 Telescope Lens Shade
List Price: |
DescriptionThe Celestron flexible lens tube is designed to fit on the front end of your Celestron telescope, thus reducing the amount of dew that builds up on your corrector plate. The result is a crisp, clear image that's not disturbed by fog or other moisture- related issues. At the same time, the tube also serves as a lens shade by preventing stray light from falling on the corrector plate, a detail that greatly improves contrast. Users will love the tube's rugged yet soft Foamex plastic material, which compresses into a flat shape for easy storage. And thanks to the thick walls and sewn seams, the tube won't crack or fall apart over time--unlike many competing products. The C8 lens tube, which works with all Celestron telescopes except the NexStar GPS, is backed by a one-year warranty. Celestron also offers a complete line of rugged, but soft Foamex plastic lens shades that can be put away flat after usage. They use a thicker material and won't crack easily as other manufacturer's products do. The quality level is a step above all others as all material is sewn (not glued in some places) for a long life. Features

TwinStar Black 6" iOptron Computer Controlled Reflector Telescope
Sale Price: $459.99 |
DescriptionThis telescope is perfect for backyard astronomy enthusiasts or older children with space on the brain. Simply align the telescope with the North Star, choose the object you want to see on the handheld controller and the computerized mount does the rest. With a large 150mm (6 inch) primary mirror and a 1400mm focal length, this large reflector telescope is the high magnification instrument for planetary and deep space astronomy. You can observe fabulous nebulae, galaxies, binary star systems and most of the famed deep-space Messier objects. Of course, with this telescope, you can see outstanding detail when viewing the moon and you can see the Rings of Saturn and the Moons of Jupiter. Did we mention that all you have to do to see a new object is push a button? The iOptron SmartStar-E Alt-Azimuth Mount, a.k.a. The Cube, is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit. In addition, there are no "dead spots" -- so you can point your telescope anywhere above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This mount comes standard with AC connection, but also accepts 8 AA cell batteries for use at home or in the field (Batteries sold separately). The revolutionary GoToNova computerized control system is by far the most technologically advanced automated tracking system available on the market today. With a database of 5,000 celestial objects, including all of the most famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, not to mention the planets, you'll be able to enjoy star gazing with the simple push of a button. The GoToNova Controller is much easier to use than other similar products. The hand controller is more intuitive with menu categories better organized. It also has a larger LCD screen with more lines of content compared with the competition. With the easy-to-use hand controller you can easily set up your telescope and select where you want to go.

Design and Evaluation of An Integrated, Self-Contained GPS/INS Shallow- Water AUV Navigation System (SANS)
Sale Price: $44.95 |
DescriptionThis is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A371313. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The main problem addressed by this research is to find an alternative to the use of large and/or expensive equipment required by conventional navigation systems to accurately determine the position of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) during all phases of an underwater search or mapping mission. The approach taken was to advance an existing integrated navigation system prototype which combines Global Positioning System (GPS), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), water speed, and heading information using Kalman filtering techniques. The hardware and software architecture of the prototype system were advanced to a level such that it is completely self- contained in a relatively small, lightweight package capable of on-board processing of sensor data and outpouring updated position fixes at a rate of 10 Hz; an improvement from the 5 Hz rate delivered by the prototype. The major changes to the preceding prototype implemented by this research were to install an on-board processor to locally process sensor outputs, and improve upon the analog filter and voltage regulation circuitry. Preliminary test results indicate the newly designed SANS provides a 100% performance improvement over the previous prototype. It now delivers a 10Hz update rate, and increased accuracy due to the improved analog filter and the higher sampling rate provided by the processor. |
