Under the name NexStar SLT (Star Locating Telescope), Celestron offers computer-controlled telescopes that allow access to the night sky without any prior knowledge.
Two models with the very popular Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are now available in this series:
Schmidt-Cassegrain optics have a long focal length, which is ideal for observing the moon, planets and planetary nebulae at high magnification. Nevertheless, the tube is very short and easy to transport. The closed tube protects the mirror from dust. SC telescopes are stable in adjustment and show an image without colour errors – this is also ideal for planetary observation.
You can find all models in the NexStar SLT series here in the shop.

ZWO AM5 N – the latest generation of the proven AM5 Harmonic Equatorial mount carries telescopes up to 13kg without counterweight and even up to 20kg with counterweight (counterweight and counterweight rod are optionally available). The compact and very light mount, weighing only 5.5 kg, can be used in equatorial mode for astrophotography and in azimuthal mode for observation.
A hand controller and the App for controlling the mount are included in the scope of delivery. Thanks to the built-in WiFi cables are no longer necessary!

Another new feature of this version 2 is that the App now also supports Bluetooth and the dual dovetail clamp has a DC connection, as well as an USB-C port. This means that the cables no longer get tangled up so easily. The AM5 N has a 3/8″ internal thread on its base, so it can be attached directly to suitable photo tripods. GoTo, Live Preview and many other features can now be controlled via smartphone or tablet. This makes the AM5 N ideal for the use in combination with the ZWO ASI Air!
