If you're a beginning or amateur astronomer looking for an affordable computerized telescope, the Celestron NexStar SLT Series Computerized Telescopes are a great choice. Observe the moon's surface, Saturn's rings and more with their star locating telescope refractors and reflectors; it's easy to find what you're looking for with the StarPointer Finderscope. Simply align the red dot with the object in the sky to point your telescope in just the right direction. Keep the hand control mounted to the sturdy, steel tripod or remove it for remote operation – use it to select the catalog, change slew speed, view information about an object or check to see if a star or planet is visible in the sky. Set up your telescope quickly and easily, without tools, and then take it anywhere – it runs on AA batteries (not included).
