2 Excellent Telescope

Celestron 11079-XLT Telescope
Unparalleled performance, unbeatable value! The Advanced C6-SGT is Celestron's first new Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system in over a decade. A totally unique aperture size, the C6-S is available in computerized (GT) and non-computerized models. The 6" Schmidt-Cassegrain features a precision optical system with 1500mm focal length (f/10) and offers 40% more light gathering than a 5" telescope.
All C6-S models come standard with Celestron's StarBright XLT coatings at no extra cost. Mounted on the Advanced GT Series computerized mount, this telescope has some high performance software and hardware features. Operated by the company's proven NexStar computer control technology the telescope has a 40, 000+ object database with 400 user-definable objects and expanded information on over 200 objects. Custom database lists of all the most famous deep-sky objects by name and catalog number; the most beautiful double, triple and quadruple stars; variable star; solar systems; objects and asterisms.
Using the RS-232 communication port on the hand control, you can control the telescope via a personal computer and the flash upgradeable hand controls allow you to update your telescope's operating software via the Internet. An autoguider port is also included for astrophotography. No matter at what level you are starting out, this precision instrument will satisfy your needs both visually and photographically.

Celestron Firstscope 80 EQ Telescope
The Firstscope 80 EQ (Model #21086) is a good choice for the more serious beginning astronomer. The setting circles and slow motion controls on the R.A. and DEC. axes allow for greater control in both locating and tracking objects, making this equatorial telescope one you can grow with over time as your observing interests expand.
The equatorial mount is larger and more rugged than the one supplied with the Firstscope 60. The tripod is also larger and more rugged than offered on the 60 mm sizes or on most competitive 80 mm models. The achromatic optics are made to Celestron's exacting specifications and are quite excellent. The standard accessories for this telescope add up to a highly desirable viewing instrument that performs superbly. This telescope works well for both terrestrial and astronomical observing.
