Have not found a deep space nebulas yet but the images of the moon are great. Can’t wait until some planets are in view later in the year. Review: Great pictures of the moon. - Only used a couple of times so far due to the cold nights. Fantastic close up pictures of the moon and setting up looks to be relatively easy for finding other planets. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Celestron | | Eye piece lens description | Plossl | | Model name | NexStar 90 SLT Maksutov | | Objective lens diameter | 90 Millimetres | | Optical tube length | 205 Millimetres | | Telescope mount description | Computerized Altitude-Azimuth Single Fork Arm | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Celestron - **Eye piece lens description:** Plossl - **Finderscope:** Built-on StarPointer™ red dot finderscope - **Focus type:** Manual Focus - **Model name:** NexStar 90 SLT Maksutov - **Objective lens diameter:** 90 Millimetres - **Optical tube length:** 205 Millimetres - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 101.6D x 48.3W x 27.9H centimetres - **Telescope mount description:** Computerized Altitude-Azimuth Single Fork Arm ## Images ![NexStar 90SLT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51z5u46UGvL.jpg) ![NexStar 90SLT - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51grDWo+M5L.jpg) ![NexStar 90SLT - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HEuDATJ5L.jpg) ![NexStar 90SLT - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41yEradZSPL.jpg) ![NexStar 90SLT - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51BdYiz12NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do you attach this to a computer ? also can you attach a camera ? thankyou** A: No you don’t attach to a computer. You need to buy an adapter if you want to attach a camera. **Q: Does any have a comparison between this and the slightly dearer celestron 11049 nexstar 4 se computerised telescope** A: I don't think there will be any difference in the operation of the scope ie. The computer side of it and the set up .The only proberbal difference is the size of the lense ie (focal lenth).I would Google it to find out.All depends on how you want to view objects. Hope this helps you abit.Cheers Baldeagle. **Q: Can you connect this to a screen for easy viewing for children with glasses, if not can anyone recommend some thing?** A: The telescope didn’t work at all. It couldn’t find the stars even after setting it up. I sent it back 3 days after ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this telescope. *by C***L on 2 June 2020* Love what I’ve seen so far. Have not found a deep space nebulas yet but the images of the moon are great. Can’t wait until some planets are in view later in the year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pictures of the moon. *by A***S on 20 February 2020* Only used a couple of times so far due to the cold nights. Fantastic close up pictures of the moon and setting up looks to be relatively easy for finding other planets. ### ⭐ Useless *by M***O on 17 January 2023* Absolutely useless Once aligned the red dots directly on the stars and a message saying match confirmed after this selected mars or any visible planet… it doesn’t point to the planets it’s way off so you have to move the telescope to find it. A normal telescope would work better.. about £350 of the price is towards the motor/preprogrammed computer.
