Celestron NexStar HC Manuale Utente

The NexStar 4 HC telescope is a precision scientific instrument that will allow you to enjoy viewing numerous objects in the
night sky — planets, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and more. Equipped with high speed motors and hand control, the NexStar
HC allows you to remotely move your telescope to desired objects quickly and accurately. At a touch of a button, you can slew
your telescope across the sky in a matter of seconds and continuously track objects as the Earth rotates beneath them. The
NexStar HC is fully upgradeable and can be equipped with the optional NexStar Hand Control with a database of over 4,000
objects (see the Optional Accessories section of this manual).
