Unparalleled performance, unbeatable value! The Advanced C6-SGT is Celestron's first new Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system in over a decade.

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.

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.

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.

Top 5 Digital Cameras Under $500

Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS Digital ELPH
Canon's Digital ELPHs have always looked good. More importantly, they take fine snapshots and we've always been a fan. This affordable 8-megapixel model has optical image stabilization to take the shakes and blur out of your images. It also has a 3x optical zoom (38-114mm), a 2.5-inch LCD screen and Face Detection to ensure great people shots.

Nikon D40
The reason we're including this still-available graybeard is the fact it's the only D-SLR with an MSRP below $500. Yes, you can still find the Canon Rebel XT even cheaper but it's really behind the times-avoid it. The 6.1-megapixel D40 is a very easy-to-use D-SLR and is perfect for anyone making the next step beyond a point-and-shoot. The response time for any D-SLR leaves P&S cameras in the dust. You'll immediately appreciate the difference.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W300
This speedy point-and-shoot digicam has a whopping 13.6MP sensor so you can make huge prints or do some serious cropping. We liked playing with it. It has a 3x optical zoom (35-105mm), optical image stabilization, intelligent scene recognition for truly aim-and-forget operation along with Sony's Smile Shutter that takes a picture as soon as your subject smiles. Pretty cool stuff.

Kodak EasyShare Z812 IS
Good ol' Kodak. You won't find anything scintillating from this crew but they do make decent, affordable cameras. A case in point is the 8.2MP Z812 IS with a 12x Schneider Kreuznach Variogon lens that equals 36-432mm in 35mm terms. The digicam takes solid prints, has optical image stabilization and Face Detection. A nice touch-it records 720p videos at 30 frames per second.

Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Digital ELPH
Although this baby has been around for almost a year-ancient in digicam terms-it's still a winner. Favorite features are the wide-angle 4x optical zoom (28-112mm) and a huge 3-inch LCD screen. The wide-angle setting lets you take attractive landscapes and get more friends into group shots. And that big screen makes it easy to frame them all.
