On the technology side, Celestron added StarSense AutoAlign for go-to telescopes, as well as WiFi telescope control with their new SkyPortal app. With optics, EdgeHD flat-field and coma-free astro-imaging systems were made to accommodate modern imaging with cameras of all types, especially larger format CCD and DSLR cameras.  Now all of these innovations have come together in one telescope package: The NexStar Evolution 8\" HD. The NexStar Evolution 8HD covers all bases for compact and easy to use, and is perfectly capable for any observing to astro-imaging pursuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.celestron.com\/university\/astronomy\/starsense-technology\" title=\"StarSense Technology\" style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eStarSense AutoAlign\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e technology to the SkyPortal app, making SkyPortal the most advanced telescope control app offered.
