New Scope!

[M100]

Hiya folks ,

here is the baby i'm saving for now - she sure is a sight for the eyes!LOL

The Celestron Nextstar 4se - fully computerised go-to scope actually finds any target in its database and tracks it automatically for you for long exposure astrophotography

It even polar aligns its self automatically , no more hours spend to calibrate you're scope!

Now all i need is a decent camera!!LOL

The actual scope will only set you back a grand and has a data base of over 2000 objects and is fully automatic "go-to" which means you just select an object from the data -base say for instance M100 (ha ha) and the scope will automatically find that object and accurately auto- track for up to 2 hours great for long exposure astrophotography

Won scope of the year in 20013- only problem is the CCD camera's can run awful expressive in excess of 5k for entry models for quality deep images , thankfully Meade have released their latest offering the Meade DSI PRO III which will set you back a fraction of the cost @ below entry price for a grand and taking deep space images like a pro in days

The scope will even auto "polar align " it self and the imaging software virtually does all the work for you - only thing you have to worry about are those cloudy nights!! LOL
