Celestron StarSense Explorer 8-inch Dobsonian telescope: Functionality Optically speaking this Dobsonian is an incredibly impressive product - and excellent value for money. It's easy to make reasonably fine adjustments to the field of view by slightly moving the tube (although you do have to get used to the inverted image) while the focus wheel is perfectly calibrated and works really well. The clarity in the great globular cluster in Hercules (M13) was mesmerizing, and so was the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Objects look sharp, detailed and contrasty. However, it's with the deep sky that this 'scope truly excels. Saturn, although close to the horizon, clearly displayed its ring pattern. Ditto the 'double double' close to Vega in Lyra. In our test, we easily split double stars, with fine views of the red and blue companions in Albireo in Cygnus.

Bright stars have a slight four-pronged starburst (though Celestron's XLT reflective coatings keep these diffraction spikes to a minimum). When the bullseye turns green you're ready to observe - and the views on offer are truly excellent.

*Digital Setting Circle computers that recognize the Meade LX200 generic protocol - such as the Argo Navis.

This includes most Optical Guidance, DFM, Optomechanics Research, SciTech and Merlin research telescopes and mounts. Any telecope controlled by either of these packages is accessible via the ACL-based Telescope driver. This includes many types of research-grade telescopes controlled using Astronomy Command Language. The following telescopes and mounts support the generic LX200 protocol (there may be others): Astro-Physics AP series, Astro-Electronic FS-2, Losmandy Gemini, Mel Bartels Controllers.
