Description

Explore the cosmos with the Celestron NexStar 90 SLT Maksutov Telescope, a superior 90mm Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope designed for both terrestrial and celestial observing. This telescope is equipped with a fully computerized Altazimuth mount and a StarPointer finderscope, aiding in easy alignment and precise location of celestial objects.

The NexStar 90 SLT boasts a quick-release fork arm mount, optical tube, and accessory tray, all coming together for a swift and tool-free setup. Stability during your stargazing sessions is ensured by a sturdy stainless steel tripod and accessory tray included in the package.

Celestron's NexStar 90 SLT Maksutov Telescope is an excellent tool for revealing intricate details of the lunar surface, observing the phases of Venus, the polar caps on Mars, Jupiter with its four moons, and Saturn's rings. It can also double as a land-based spotting telescope for daytime wildlife observations.

Key features of the NexStar 90 SLT include:

  • Maksutov-Cassegrain Optical Design: This catadioptric design combines lenses and mirrors, delivering bright, sharp images virtually free of chromatic aberration. The unique design of the Maksutov-Cassegrain includes a "secondary spot" reflective coating on the corrector plate, reducing the need for frequent collimation and providing high-contrast views.

  • The Mount & Technologies: The telescope features a computerized Alt-Azimuth Mount with a single fork arm, making it easy to track objects across the sky. The NexStar+ hand control allows automatic slewing to any of 40,000 celestial objects, while the SkyAlign technology simplifies the setup process by triangulating the telescope's position.

  • Power and Portability: Ideal for remote stargazing locations, the NexStar 90 SLT operates on 8 AA batteries or an optional PowerTank portable battery. It offers high precision servo motors for stable, low-vibration performance and is adaptable to a 12V AC adapter.

  • Accessories: Included are a StarPointer™ red dot finderscope, a star diagonal, and two eyepieces (25mm and 9mm), providing various magnifications for different types of observations. The star diagonal ensures a comfortable viewing experience.

  • Compatibility: The NexStar 90 SLT is designed to grow with your astronomical skills and is compatible with all of Celestron’s latest accessories, such as StarSense AutoAlign and SkyPortal WiFi module.

  • Bonus Software: Your purchase includes a free download of Celestron’s Starry Night Special Edition Astronomy Software, featuring a 36,000-object database, printable sky maps, and enhanced 3D renderings of celestial bodies, enriching your astronomical journey.

The Celestron NexStar 90 SLT Maksutov Telescope combines user-friendly features with high-quality optics, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned stargazers.

Solar Warning
  • Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
  • Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
  • Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
