The Schmidt-Cassegrain design at \u003cstrong\u003e203mm f\/10\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers a focal length of \u003cstrong\u003e2032mm\u003c\/strong\u003e in an extremely compact and portable tube. The \u003cstrong\u003eStarBright XLT\u003c\/strong\u003e coatings maximize light transmission across the entire visible spectrum, complete freedom from chromatic aberration and 84% more light-gathering than a 6\" telescope. Excellent for planetary and lunar observation as well as deep-sky visual astronomy and astrophotography with an optional focal reducer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdvanced VX mount: imaging, PPEC and dual saddle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe German equatorial \u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced VX\u003c\/strong\u003e mount is the most compact and portable in Celestron's lineup, with the same rigidity as larger mounts. The \u003cstrong\u003emaximum payload of 13.6 kg (30 lb)\u003c\/strong\u003e comfortably supports the 8\" SCT with accessories. The \u003cstrong\u003edual saddle\u003c\/strong\u003e is compatible with CG-5 and CGE dovetail bars — note: not compatible with Losmandy D format. The latitude range from \u003cstrong\u003e7° to 77°\u003c\/strong\u003e covers virtually all observing locations worldwide. The \u003cstrong\u003epermanently programmable PPEC\u003c\/strong\u003e compensates for worm gear errors for smooth tracking during long exposures. The \u003cstrong\u003eAll-Star Polar Alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e system enables polar alignment on any bright star, and the meridian imaging function eliminates interruptions during photo sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCPWI software, NexStar+ and Starry Night included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eNexStar+\u003c\/strong\u003e hand controller with internet-updatable firmware manages a database of \u003cstrong\u003e40,000 objects\u003c\/strong\u003e with automatic SkyAlign alignment. The \u003cstrong\u003eCelestron PWI (CPWI)\u003c\/strong\u003e software, co-developed with PlaneWave Instruments, offers a graphical planetarium interface with advanced PointXP mount modelling for 100+ alignment points, ideal for remote observatory setups. Also included: \u003cstrong\u003eStarry Night Special Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e for session planning. The \u003cstrong\u003eRTC\u003c\/strong\u003e module with backup battery retains alignment data after power-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable
