C8 - Schmidt Cassegrain - 203mm aperture 2032mm focal length The C8 is the true classic within the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. Since decades, these telescopes are used by amateurs and Celestron looks back on a unique story regarding the experience with this telescope type. The result is a modern universal telescope with a long heritage. With 203mm aperture, this model has an impressive celestial performance. But nevertheless, the OTA is with its length of approx. 45cm and a weight of 5.7 kgs highly transportable. We know no other possibility to keep 20cm of aperture that compact. The C8 already shows the jovian moons as small discs and Saturn's cassini division looks like punched out. Thanks to the XLT coatings, Nebulae and Galaxies are depicted with high contrast and brightness. M13, the famous globular cluster, is already resolved into individual stars.

Very versatile with the SC thread and the internal focusing: -- Adaption of nearly all kinds of cameras without any problems -- 2" eyepieces and diagonals can be attached -- Binoviewers can be brought into focus without the need of a glass path corrector

XLT Coatings: The multi-layer anti-reflective coatings allow very high light transmission. Especially around the wave length around 500nm, 10% more light are brought into the eyepiece. Here, the human eye is very sensitive.
