The NexStar 80GT Refractor is the most portable version of the NexStar Series. This short-tube telescope with a fast f/5 optical system gives images that are bright and crisp. The 80GT is 80% brighter than the 60mm scope. And the 80GT includes computerized GoTo technology!
Because of its wide 3.25° field of view, the NexStar 80 is optimal for scanning large areas of the sky and for superb terrestrial (land) viewing. You can see all of the Andromeda Galaxy! Few telescopes can say that! A wonderful first-time astronomical scope, the 80GT can also be used as a great, land-based spotting telescope.

The NexStar 8GPS Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope is part of Celestron’s “Top-of-the-Line” fork-mounted astronomical telescopes. This telescope is at home as a superb visual instrument or, with optional CCD cameras, as a serious scientific research tool. Besides seeing all of the Messier Catalog objects, you can also see hundreds of other, less famous, but equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects.
Turn this scope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini’s Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Even the distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are within your reach. Although large in aperture, with its conveniently located carrying handles and an instrument weight of only 42lb., this telescope is portable enough to set up in your backyard or take with you to your favorite dark sky location.

6" f/6 Maksutov-Newtonian Optical Tube Assembly. Excellent planetary performance with very small central obscuration and wider field of view than similar sized Maksutov-Cassegrains. Similar to MN56 shown above. Previous price £1,200. Price: £1,000.00 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
Bigger brother to the very popular OMC140, this outstanding British telescope provides superb views of planets and deep-sky objects as well. Maksutov-Cassegrains are well-known for providing high contrast images of planets but are most often encountered in smaller apertures. Orion's OMC200 combines high contrast with large aperture to give deep-sky views that have to be seen to be believed. It offers an ideal upgrade path for any good quality mount.
One only Price: £1,799.00 (Including: VAT at 17.5%)
Excellent package for anyone wanting a superior telescope. The OMC 200 is an 8-inch Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope providing stunning, high-contrast images.
