Why Choose the Celestron NexStar 5SE?
-
Powerful Schmidt-Cassegrain Optics: Equipped with a 5-inch (125mm) primary mirror, this telescope gathers 329x more light than the human eye. Coupled with Celestron’s premium StarBright XLT optical coatings, it yields incredibly crisp, high-contrast views of Saturn's rings, Jupiter’s cloud bands, and deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula.
-
Fully Automated GoTo Tracking Mount: Skip the complicated sky charts. The revolutionary single fork arm mount houses automated DC servo motors that handle tracking smoothly. The included NexStar+ hand control contains an expansive database of over 40,000 celestial objects.
-
Patented SkyAlign Technology: Alignment is a snap. Center any three bright objects in the eyepiece, and the internal computer maps the sky automatically in minutes.
-
Built-in Wedge for Astrophotography: Unlike standard entry-level scopes, the NexStar 5SE features an integrated equatorial wedge. This allows you to track targets smoothly for long-exposure astrophotography and astroimaging.
-
Ultra-Portable Design: The complete setup breaks down into lightweight, compact pieces (Total weight: 17.6 lbs / 8 kg), making it the perfect companion for backyard viewing or camping trips to dark-sky sites.
