Reminiscent of Celestron's original orange-tube Schmidt-Cassegrains, but with a modern, more vibrant finish, the 8i Special Edition combines hand-figured C8 optics with a patented one-arm mount, full GoTo functionality with a 40,000+ object database, StarBright XLT enhanced optical coatings, fully adjustable stainless steel tripod -- and now the revolutionary new SkyAlign alignment technology! It's a powerful, portable, and easy-to-use telescope that will provide years of high-resolution viewing of night sky treasures. And for such a beautifully designed, functionally high-tech telescope, the price is astonishingly affordable. Two-year limited warranty.
