Bushnell's NorthStar® #788850 Telescope offers amateur astronomers state-of-the-art computer-driven location and tracking capability with simple, push-button control. With an incorporated database of 20,000 celestial objects, you simply call up your target on the handheld control module, enter a simple "Go To" command and the NorthStar computer does the rest. Once locked on, tracking the object for prolonged viewing is automatic and easy with the NorthStar. The superb aperture of the 5" Maksutov-Cassegrain #788850 allows the scope to produce good views of smaller objects in the night sky, gathering considerably more light than 4" scopes of the same design. Bushnell's innovative RVO (Real Voice Output™) feature provides a fun, interactive way to explore the night sky. The remote handheld control module features red, backlit push buttons and a red illuminated LCD readout for easy viewing without impairing your night vision. The telescope also feature Bushnell's new 1x wideangle, red dot finderscope, as well as a quick release tripod and accessory tray for fast, easy assembly and transport. The included 4.0mm high-power eyepiece is of very limited use with this telescope, because it is results in magnification beyond the highest practical amount you can expect under all but the most ideal of conditions. An optional eyepiece between approximately 9.0-12.0mm will be a much more sensible second option to use with this scope.
