The Astro Fi 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain is a fully featured telescope that can be controlled with your smart phone or tablet using the free Celestron SkyPortal app. Celestron’s SkyPortal app replaces the traditional telescope hand control for a 100% wireless experience. Just hold your smart device up to the night sky. When you find an object you’d like to view, tap the screen. Your Astro Fi telescope automatically slews to the object, while the screen displays information about it. The Astro Fi 5" Schmidt-Cassegrain creates its own wireless connection, so it can communicate with your device even in remote locations where WiFi or cellular networks aren’t available. Getting ready to observe is quick and painless thanks to Celestron’s award-winning SkyAlign technology. Center any three bright objects in the eyepiece, and your telescope calculates its position. You can even generate a Sky Tour of all the best celestial objects to view based on your exact time and location.Read full review

This is my first Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and the optics are really good quality. I was only looking for an OTA and this was available at really good price. These hold their collimation more so that reflector telescopes and with the primary lens at the front the unit is sealed from any dust getting onto the mirrors although this can still happen (nothing is airtight.) Also for the same focal length these are more compact and easier to move around. All in all a really good beginners scope I'd fully recommend one of these before spending a lot more, here's a picture I took with the telescope I didn't have time to setup properly I just wanted to see if I could get the camera to focus.
