Once the GPS has established the telescope's position, Celestron's revolutionary SkyAlign technology makes aligning the telescope as easy as pointing it to three bright celestial objects. The telescope's remote hand control provides direct access to a user-friendly database containing over 40, 000 celestial objects, including the Messier and Caldwell Catalogs, as well as NGC Galaxies, nebulae, and planets. User-definable filter limits make navigating this expansive database quicker and easier. All EdgeHD optical tubes are equipped with a removable secondary mirror for fast f/2 CCD imaging, offering Fastar Versatility.
