| The Telescope is an 11 inch Celestron NexStar GPS telescope. It is a computer controlled, Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector telescope. The on-board GPS system automatically aligns the telescope and the computer data base directs the scope to point at any of thousands of catalogued objects in the sky. The computer takes into account latitude and longitude, time of day and season to choose the best objects for viewing for that particular night. | |
