New scope from Celestron?

[iceman]

Here's a mystery picture taken from the Synta factory recently..

Looks to be a new breed of scope being released by Celestron!

Looks very interesting? What do you reckon all those "bits" are? Looks like it's got some inbuilt DSC/starchart program on the flip-up display?

What's your guess?

A little Mak-Cass, perhaps?

Don't think Celestron has too many MCs in its stable:shrug:

[iceman]

yeh it looks like the same type of scope as the ETX's given it's size and aperture.

I wonder if it is a Schmidt camera for the masses?

Wonder how it would go as a widefield astrophotography camera?

Does that say something like "Vista Pix" on the back of the body? Sure it isn't a camera?

Maybe an entry level, integrated asto-imaging set-up; and all in one for beginners?
