Celestron Evolution 8" SCT WiFi
Your app-controlled star hunter for clear Engadin nights!
Hey, star hunters in the Engadin! Imagine lying on the meadow at Corvatsch, Piz Bernina sparkling above you – and with a tap on your smartphone you can zoom in on the rings of Saturn or the Andromeda Galaxy, without any tangled cables? The Celestron NexStar Evolution 8" SCT WiFi is your clever app booster: With integrated WiFi and the SkyPortal app (iOS/Android), you control it wirelessly – leave the hand controller behind and let the GoTo mount hunt for over 40,000 objects. The 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain optics with StarBright XLT coating capture 1.8x more light than smaller models, for sharp, bright views from planets to deep-sky gems, perfect for foggy nights in the Upper Engadine or clear autumn hours on the Roseg Glacier.
The highlight? A robust, heavy-duty tripod with precise worm-gear drives for smooth tracking, manual clutches for quick adjustments, and an integrated lithium-iron battery that lasts up to 10 hours – rechargeable via USB-C, and you can even charge your phone! SkyAlign alignment? Super-fast with just three stars, and the 90° diagonal mirror plus eyepieces (40mm for 51x overview, 13mm for 156x details) make it ready to go immediately. The StarPointer finderscope and hand controller (as a backup) round it out – compact. (approx. 14 kg total), portable and ready for astrophotography with a DSLR connection.
Technical highlights: 8" (203 mm) aperture, f/10 focal length (2032 mm), GoTo mount with WiFi, rechargeable battery (10 hours), 40/13 mm eyepieces, StarPointer – all in a black, weatherproof design. Whether planet hunting in St. Moritz or galaxy scouting in a national park: This smart package makes getting started with astrophotography a breeze!
