Smart controls, effortless navigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Go2Nova\u00ae 8409<\/strong> makes setting up and controlling your mount easy. The large 4-line LCD screen lets you see all the information at a glance. The clear menus guide you step by step through the process - no manual needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You simply select an object from the huge database, and the telescope automatically moves to it. Thanks to 9 motion speeds, you can follow smoothly or navigate quickly, depending on your preference. This keeps every object neatly in view while you observe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover more, set less<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With a database of more than 150,000 celestial objects<\/strong> you have the entire cosmos at your fingertips. From planets to galaxies - the 8409 knows where they are and automatically brings them into view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic alignment makes the start of each session quick and stress-free. Even if you're working with a GoTo mount for the first time, you'll be ready to observe within minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready for modern astronomical software<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The built-in USB connector<\/strong> allows you to update the firmware or connect to popular planetarium software such as Stellarium<\/strong> or Cartes du Ciel<\/strong>.
Want to work wirelessly? Connect a Wi-Fi adapter and control your telescope from your laptop or tablet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
