## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this telescope be connected to my laptop?**
A: Yes

**Q: What do I need to connect it to a camera?**
A: Hi, This would depend on what camera you are trying t use. If it is a Canon(93419) or Nikon(93402) SLDR you would require a T-Ring adapter for the model you have and a 1.25 universal adapter(93625), there is also a universal adapter with barlow you can get(93640). If it is a digital camera you can get the Universal Digital Camera Adapter(93626) which you would require to adjust the camera mount to the eyepiece.

**Q: Sorry for the potentially silly question. Any chance this telescope can fit in your main luggage on a plane?**
A: Hi!
It is generally not recommended to pack a telescope like the Celestron NexStar 102 SLT in your main luggage when traveling by plane, as it is likely too large and fragile to be transported safely in this way. The NexStar 102 has a 61D x 50.8W x 20.3H and a weight of 16 pounds, which may make it difficult to fit into most standard luggage sizes and could increase the risk of damage during transport.

Instead, it may be more practical to transport the NexStar 102 in a separate, sturdy carrying case or shipping box. This will provide more protection for the telescope during transit and make it easier to handle and store. Some telescopes, including the NexStar 102, come with a carrying case or storage bag, which can be useful for transportation. Alternatively, you can purchase a separate carrying case or box specifically designed for transporting telescopes.

It is also important to check the airline's baggage policies and size and weight restrictions before packing the NexStar 102 for travel, as different airlines have different rules for what can be brought on board as carry-on luggage or checked baggage. Some airline

**Q: What is the max magnification  of this telescope? I have found binoculars which are 25x110 which are suppose to offer amazing details for star gazing**
A: The main snag with binoculars is holding them still, which is essential for seeing any detail of anything.  If you have a binocular stand, fine.  Telescopes all come with stands - often computerised these days, which is marvellous.

As regards magnification, 25x is fine for large objects like the moon and star clusters - but you won't see any detail on planets at that power (apart from being able to tell that they are planets and not stars).

The maximum magnification of a telescope or of binoculars is determined by its aperture - you get about 24X per cm (with the right eyepiece).  If you try and get more with a higher-power eyepiece you will just get a larger, blurrier object.  

As a separate matter, you can't get much more than 250X - 350X in northern latitudes anyway because of atmospheric conditions.  This is no doubt why so many telescopes are sold with apertures in the 100 - 150mm range.
