Celestron Advanced Series C8-S - Schmidt-Cassegrain Reflector Telescope
If you`re looking for an advanced first telescope with a
traditional German Equatorial mount or want to upgrade to a larger aperture

slow-motion controls and latitude scale. An adjustable counterweight makes
it easy to point, balance and use.
The C8-S optical system comes with StarBright® coatings and its large
aperture offers light gathering power 843 times that of the human eye. An
optional polar alignment scope for quick alignment as well as a motor drive
is available for easy tracking for all CG-5 mounted telescopes.
