Manufacturer Description The NexStar GT series of telescopes shares a common heritage in features and function. Each NexStar telescope includes the latest state-of-the-art computerized GoTo technology, amazingly easy-to-use features and ready-to-use components. After the computer guides you through a simple set up, each telescope will point itself to the object you choose from its stored database of astronomical objects without referring to star charts! The NexStar 76GT provides a step up in aperture from the 60GT increasing light gathering by 60%. It offers all of the advantages of a Newtonian design at a 3-inch aperture. The superb optics of this telescope offer dazzling images of the moon; Saturn and its rings; Jupiter, with its belts and moons; and hundreds of deep-sky objects, including galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. Because of the Newtonian design, the mirror gives fully color-corrected views that are best suited for astronomical use. This extremely portable instrument is the perfect tool to get going with amateur astronomy. With its pre-assembled, adjustable aluminum tripod, the NexStar GT telescopes can be set up and ready to use in a matter of minutes. You can see views of the lunar surface, Venus and its phases, Mars resolved as an orange disc, Jupiter and its 4 moons, and Saturn resolved as a disc with its rings plainly visible. You can see the Great Nebula in Orion and the amazingly large Andromeda Galaxy that is over six trillion miles away! Besides being a wonderful astronomical scope, most NexStar GT's can be used as a great, land-based spotting telescope as well. To assist in the star alignment, the NexStar uses a lightweight StarPointer Finderscope. The StarPointer is the quickest and easiest way to point your telescope exactly to the desired object in the sky. It's like having a laser pointer that you can shine directly onto the night sky. No need to worry about the inverted images you see through traditional finders, just align the red dot seen through the StarPointer with the desired star in the sky. It's that easy. Powered by 8 AA user-supplied batteries or an optional AC adapter (#18773), these NexStar GoTo's love to travel. Sturdy and solid, they provide rigid low-vibration performance, with quiet, high precision servo motors. With the NexStar's ergonomically designed hand control, the user is free to remove the hand control from its holder for remote use or leave it cradled for hands-free operation. With a touch of a button you can select the object catalog, change the slew speed, view fascinating information about an object, or simply know if a desired object is visible in the sky. The NexStar GT's deluxe features combine with Celestron's uncompromising optical standards to give amateur astronomers one of the most sophisticated and easy to use telescopes available on the market today. Every NexStar GT includes a version of The Sky software Level 1 Planetarium software for exploring the Universe on your PC and printing out custom star charts of the sky. In addition, you receive the NexStar Observer's List (NSOL) control software. Just connect your NexStar to your laptop or PC (with optional RS-232 cable) for click-and-slew ability to any object in the NexStar's database. What's in the Box: - 76GT telescope
