For the advanced astrophotographer, the Orion Sirius 8 EQ-G GoTo telescope allows you to capture sharp clear images. 42,900 celestial objects are available with the push of a button and built-in autoguider port and PEC make tracking objects a breeze.

I had been eyeballing several scopes for years and chose this for my first. It may seem a little daunting, but was set up and usable in 15 minutes. GoTo works excellently with some small caveats. It's very important to buy a simple hiking compass to align the north tripod leg to magnetic north. Then ensure your latitude is angled to where you live. Lastly, use your cell phone or the GPS attachment to load in your precise spot. Contrary to what people say, I am able to bring this beast from the living room to observing in 10 minutes. Its very important to learn the stars so you can do a proper alignment. Once it's go to go, this scope is a champ.
