I can only tell you that I sort of had my eye on this product for about 5 years before I bought it based on reviews. Not sure exactly how long it was on the market. I haven't tried to download any latest software or anything. I'm disabled and have pain and so I just used it as it came out of the box. But it works great. In the woods I can't see far to the horizon and could never identify any of the Little Dipper except Polaris since it never moves. After I got this I was able to identify several other stars of the constellation that I wasn't sure of. Very easy to use. There is an app I just found for iPad called NIGHT SKY 2 that does this just by holding the iPad up to the night sky. But it doesn't have the audio describing all the lore surrounding the object. Some good stuff today for the scientifically curious among us!

I haven't seen it on amazon or orbit's website either. You r best bet is to contact orbits customer support and see what they say

I googled it and what I found says "yes" The 18778 is suppose to work with all Celestron series.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question. I suggest calling Celestron. They have been most helpful to us in the past.

is this work with the Celestron NexStar 6SE? and would it gives better results than #93633-A (Celestron T-adapter for all Schmidt-Cassegrains)??

Thanks EvanThat does make sense.I have also since found out this item is discontinued by Celestron and replaced by the avx mount. May hunt to buy one of those instead but imagine same applies.

I don't know if works with the Prodigy line. I recommend an e-mail to Celestron Tech Support (they have been very responsive to my questions). However, know this about the GPS. It only assists in the initial calibration of the system. In other words you don't have to use the sky align function or punch in your coordinates so it is a slight time saver. Worth the $160+ I paid? No really. But it is fairly accurate.

I'm not sure. Having bought it for my 10 year old Grand Daughter, it has never crossed my mind. I'm sure you can contact Celestron and ask them though.

I have bought 2 deluxe Celestron units and both had LCD issues and had to be returned. I am waiting to get a third.

There is an app, but it has a catch. you have to buy the add on piece of equipment SkyQ Link Wifi adapter: Celestron 93959 SkyQ Link Wi-Fi Adapter (Black) and then download the app of the same name to make it work. I don't recommend it however the reviews for the app are terrible once you go through them. If you are looking for something to help you see what you are looking at in the sky I recommend the app "Star Walk" its very helpful on identifying what you are looking at.

Hello, First issue is the use of a reducer/corrector with a barlow multiplier. The two lenses are working against each other to no effect. Use the eyepiece alone or use it with the reducer corrector for lower power (wider fields of view) or use the eyepiece with the barlow for much higher power (smaller fields of view). If you have the Celestron Edge telescope I do not believe the reducer/corrector will work correctly. Hope this helps.

I would advise you not to buy the 5-mp Celestron. The camera is good but the software does the images captured in Windows 8 .

From what I can see it is the same unit. I replaced the one that came with my scope and other than a slight design change it is the same. It is not a knock off or similar item, it is a Celestron part.
