If you had a 6″ telescope before or were even considering one, then the additional 2″ will give you 77% more light- which makes a profound difference in what and how you see it. The large 8″ Aperture enables the dimmer objects (including Galaxies and Nebulae) to be observed in great detail. You can expect to see the Moon and the Planets within this range, but the 8SE enables you to expand beyond the 200x to observe thousands of other brighter objects. With this kind of power, you will be able to observe objects in great detail at the 150-200x magnification level. One of the standout highlights of the 8SE is of course the 8″ primary mirror combined with its optimal focal length. To keep this simple, what this basically means is that the favored components of Reflector and Refractor Telescopes have been combined together.Įssentially, this telescope provides you with increased sharpness and clarity of the night sky from the outset. The Celestron NexStar 8SE is a Schmidt–Cassegrain Telescope and operates through this Optical Design.
