Whether you’re a serious visual observer or a budding astro-imager, the Evolution 9.25 HD is engineered to give you pinpoint stars, fast setup, accurate tracking, and effortless wireless control.

EdgeHD Optical Excellence – Flat Field, Coma-Free Views

At the heart of this telescope is the 9.25” EdgeHD optical tube, an advanced aplanatic Schmidt-Cassegrain system designed for aberration-free imaging across the entire field of view.

Why EdgeHD Matters

• Produces a true astrograph-quality flat focal plane

• Eliminates coma and field curvature

• Delivers razor-sharp stars edge-to-edge, even on full-frame DSLR and large CCD sensors

• Over 3× flatter focal plane than standard SCT designs

• Enhanced with StarBright XLT™ coatings for brighter, higher-contrast views

The optical tube is Fastar / HyperStar compatible, allowing ultra-fast f/2 imaging of deep-sky objects—perfect for capturing nebulae and galaxies in seconds, often without guiding.

StarSense AutoAlign – Fully Automatic Alignment

With StarSense AutoAlign, telescope setup is virtually effortless.

• Automatically scans the sky and plate-solves star patterns

• Determines location, date, and time with no user input

• Achieves accurate GoTo alignment in minutes

• Add up to 10 additional alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing

Using the SkyPortal app, alignment and telescope control are completely wireless—no hand controller required, though one is included.

Built-In WiFi & Smart Device Control

The NexStar Evolution mount includes integrated WiFi, enabling full control via smartphone, tablet, or PC.

• Control via SkyPortal app (iOS & Android)

• Browse thousands of celestial objects

• Slew, track, and align wirelessly

• Ideal for outreach, home observatories, and modern observers

Powerful Mount with Precision Engineering

The Evolution mount is one of the most robust single-fork alt-az mounts in its class.

Key Mount Features

• Precision brass worm gears on both axes

• Improved motors for smoother tracking

• Manual release clutches for easy repositioning

• Four AUX ports (2 top, 2 bottom)

• USB charging port for accessories

• Built-in accessory tray lighting

This makes it the only fork-mounted telescope in its price range optimized for both visual observing and beginner astrophotography.

Long-Lasting Internal Battery – No External Power Needed

The built-in Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) battery provides:

• Up to 10 hours of continuous observing or imaging

• Stable power output

• Longer lifespan and safer chemistry than traditional lithium batteries

Perfect for remote sites, travel, and all-night observing sessions.

Ideal for Visual Observing & Beginner Astrophotography

Out of the box, the NexStar Evolution 9.25 HD excels at:

• High-resolution planetary and lunar imaging

• Visual deep-sky observing with stunning contrast

• Entry-level DSO astrophotography using DSLRs or planetary cameras

For longer exposures, add the optional Evolution Wedge to convert the mount into an equatorial configuration.
An optional EdgeHD 0.7× reducer brings the system to f/7, ideal for deep-sky imaging with improved exposure times.
