The CGE Pro 1400 Fastar Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope is part of Celestron’s “Top-of-the-Line” computerized German Equatorial mounted astronomical telescopes. It is the most portable of the three size models and comes mounted on Celestron’s CGE Pro EQ mount. This telescope is especially at home as a solid platform for long exposure photography with optional CCD cameras or photographic equipment. With 14 inches of aperture and our premium StarBright XLT coatings, the CGE Pro 1400 gives you over 2579 times the light gathering power than the unaided eye. As a visual instrument you can search for all of the Messier Catalog objects, and you can see hundreds of other equally interesting NGC, IC and Caldwell objects. Turn this scope to the planets and see amazing detail on the surface of Jupiter; see Cassini’s Division in the rings of Saturn, and resolve details on the surface of Mars. Order one now from Alnitak.

All schools exist to make minds, not careers.
The visual (spatial) learning style
If you use the visual style, you prefer using images, pictures, colors, and maps to organize information and communicate with others. You can easily visualize objects, plans and outcomes in your mind’s eye. You also have a good spatial sense, which gives you a good sense of direction. You can easily find your way around using maps, and you rarely get lost. When you walk out of an elevator, you instinctively know which way to turn.
The whiteboard is a best friend (or would be if you had access to one). You love drawing, scribbling and doodling, especially with colors. You typically have a good dress sense and color balance (although not always!).
Common pursuits and phrases
Some pursuits that make the most use of the visual style are visual art, architecture, photography, video or film, design, planning (especially strategic), and navigation.
You may use phrases like these:
- Let’s look at it differently.
- See how this works for you.
- I can’t quite picture it.
- Let’s draw a diagram or map.
- I’d like to get a different perspective.
- I never forget a face.

As the citizens of Planet Earth strive ever more enthusiastically to reach E.T., some experts say numerous messages zipping through the cosmos are confusing or little more than space spam.
