Each Celestron Nexstar SE telescope features exceptional ease of use and offers all the conveniences of a modern, computerized telescope that can find over 38,000 objects by itself, suggests which celestial objects are most beautiful to observe from your location at the moment, and is also suitable for entry-level astrophotography.

Finding the right setup to locate even the most difficult galaxies is no longer a problem thanks to the powerful SkyAlign technology. Simply point the telescope at three stars - and it's ready to use in no time. This gives you an outstandingly affordable telescope with a level of performance that previous generations of amateur astronomers never dreamed of (you only need to see the three "pointing" stars, not know them).

You can even control this telescope remotely with your iPhone, iPad or Windows PC via WLAN using the optional SkyQ-Link WiFi adapter and the SkyQ app, available separately in the Apple AppStore - simply following the star chart on the screen. So if you're looking for the telescope with the most advanced control electronics, choose the Celestron NexStar SE. With the optional StarSense module, the telescope even takes care of the initialization in the starry sky itself - you then only have to set up the telescope, switch it on and wait three minutes.

Further advantages at a glance:

  • all telescopes can be optionally placed on the stable tripod or with the stand on a table, wall or similar.
  • the instruments are ideally suited for other areas of nature observation (birds, lake, mountains). Both the Maksutov and Schmidt-Cassegrain optical designs provide an absolutely stray light-free, high-contrast image even during the day in bright sunlight.
  • The new revolutionary "SkyAlign" method enables even the absolute layman to align a telescope astronomically accurately in a few minutes. You don't need to know the north direction, nor do you need to level the telescope - and you don't need to know a single star by name! Adjustment is possible from any balcony, even without a compass (which would only be deflected by surrounding iron).
  • With all devices the optical tube is coupled with the mount by means of standard dovetail and quick clamp - you can separate the optics from the mount when transporting e.g. in the airplane and carry only the optical part as hand luggage.
  • For nature observation and digital photography, you can just as well leave the astronomical mount at home and place the optics alone on an optional photo tripod.
  • The NexStar SE mounts adapt to the interests of the user! It is possible to alternately mount other devices for different purposes besides the included optical tube, such as a solar telescope, camera + guiding tube or a widefield telescope!
  • NexStar 4 SE and NexStar 5 SE are extremely compact and even fit in the overhead compartment of the airplane!
    The NexStar 4 SE and NexStar 5 SE mounts feature revolutionary control software for remote operation of digital cameras. This allows the control of common DSLR cameras for serial exposures. This also allows the units to be used as monitoring devices at long distances.
  • The extremely compact Maksutov-Cassegrain and Schmidt-Cassegrain optics are built in the "Celestron quality" that has been praised for 40 years. The Celestron 5 has been used several times on NASA's Space Shuttle flights.

TheNexStar 8SE - The Deep Sky Cannon
With 8" aperture, deep sky starts to be really fun - this is an old rule of thumb among astronomers, since from 20 cm aperture on, many objects are resolved into single stars, which in smaller telescopes remain only nebula patches. Therefore, the 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain has been a very popular telescope for years: No other telescope combines this aperture with such a compact tube and is accordingly transportable. Near cities, nebula filters such as the Baader Planetarium UHC-S or the OIII help to block out stray light from cities.

The telescope has the 1.25" connector that is common in astronomy. Thus, all common astronomical 1.25" eyepieces (plug-in dimension: 31.7mm) can be used. This is particularly convenient, for example, with the Baader Planetarium Q-Turret eyepiece turret, which covers all useful magnifications and allows rapid switching between different magnifications.

The tube has the standard SC thread of the large Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, so a wide range of accessories can be connected. With the help of the optional Baader Planetarium NexStar Locking Ring, zenith mirrors with SC threads can be screwed directly to the telescope. This makes the adaption so short that the telescope can still swing through to the zenith without hitting the mount, even with large 2" accessories. For example, long focal length eyepieces with more field of view can be used.

The separately available Celestron T-adapter for C5/C6/C8/C925/C11 and C14 can also be used to connect SLR cameras and numerous other accessories. The T-thread is a standard through which almost any accessory can be connected - from SLRs to binoculars.

The NexStar 6/8SE Mount
The mount of the 6SE and 8SE telescopes is larger and more stable than the mount of the 4/5SE models. This single arm azimuthal mount is optimized to be quickly deployable and easily transportable. Unlike the classic parallactic mount, you don't have to laboriously point the telescope to north, adjust the polar altitude, or carry counterweights. The mount is simply set up horizontally, and after alignment (which simply involves setting any three bright stars), the computer automatically takes care of moving the telescope to the desired objects and keeping them in the eyepiece: Automatic tracking independently compensates for Earth rotation.

This makes the SE telescopes ideal for anyone who wants to observe the night sky themselves: Very portable, quickly ready for use and with all the necessary comfort.

The telescope is attached to the mount with a standard prism rail with quick coupling, so it can be easily removed. The mount can thus also carry other telescopes up to about 5.5kg stably. For transport, however, this is not necessary: The complete mount including telescope is very handy and fits for example into the separately available, padded transport case. It is simply attached to the sturdy steel tripod with three easy-grip screws; a centering pin helps when placing it on the tripod.

But the NexStar 6/8SE mount also offers everything for photography: Lunar photography with an SLR camera or planetary photography with a video camera like the Celestron NexImage 5 are easily possible even in azimuthal operation; you may still need the Celestron T-adapter for C5 as well as a suitable T2 adapter for your camera bayonet or a 1.25"/T2 ocular clamp. You can also photograph directly through the eyepiece with a MicroStage camera platform. Long exposures are also possible via the optional Heavy Duty Deluxe polar altitude cradle: this aligns the mount parallel to the Earth's axis, just like a classic parallactic ("astronomical") mount. A software routine of the hand control box helps you to conveniently align the mount with high accuracy even without a polar finder. This not only prevents field rotation when you are photographing a lunar eclipse, for example, over a long period of time - it also allows deep sky photography. An autoguider port can be used to connect an automatic tracking camera such as the Celestron NexGuide.

An AUX port allows the connection of additional accessories - from GPS receivers to StarSense modules.

Extensive star catalogs and TOUR function for overview
The hand controller contains a database with over 38,000 objects. Among them are, of course, the planets of the solar system as well as countless galaxies, gas nebulae, star clusters and interesting stars. The selection is difficult for you? Then use the TOUR mode, which shows you a selection of the most beautiful objects every evening and explains them in German text on the display.

SkyAlign - setup without sky knowledge
The NexStar SE mount has motors with encoders in both axes and a hand controller with 38,181 objects in the database. To initialize the computer control, all you have to do is enter the time and location (selectable from database) into the hand controller and move to any three bright celestial objects - no matter which ones, you don't even have to know them! After this SkyAlign, the mount knows what the sky above it looks like, and moves to each additional object at the touch of a button.

Upgradeable for state-of-the-art technology - high value retention
May it be even more convenient? The SE telescopes are compatible with the StarSense module. This is a small camera that is mounted on the telescope and allows the telescope to orient itself fully automatically in the sky - without GPS. With StarSense, all you have to do is set up the telescope, turn it on, and wait about three minutes. Since StarSense is compatible with all modern, computer-controlled Celestron telescopes, you can continue to use it if you ever get a larger telescope - StarSense also works with observatory-class telescopes.

This means that a NexStar SE telescope can be updated any time there are technical innovations - ensuring that your telescope retains its value!

Control via PC and iPhone
Like all Celestron NexStar telescopes, the NexStar SE can be controlled via PC. Using the NexRemote software or the widely used ASCOM interface, you can then control the telescope from a Windows PC.

But the SE telescopes also support wireless control! Using the optional SkyQ Link WLAN adapter, you can control the telescope wirelessly - either via a Windows PC or via iPhone or iPad (with the optional SkyQ Planetarium program). So you don't need to take a laptop with you to your observing nights, an iPhone is enough and you have a modern graphical telescope control in addition to the hand controller, whose large buttons can be operated even with thick gloves. All possibilities are open to you!

Sophisticated mount
The mount of the Celestron NexStar SE telescopes is a solid azimuthal single arm mount that can be set up without tools. Due to the large, easy-grip screws, this is also possible with gloves. The sturdy steel tripod has a storage plate for accessories and a holder for the hand control box. The SE mount supports devices up to approx. 5.5 kg dead weight, depending on the design. The clamp on the arm of the mount fits any standardized Vixen (V) dovetail and holds it securely.

The hand controller is neatly integrated into the fork arm, and can be removed if needed. However, the telescope can also be operated comfortably when it sits in the mount of the fork arm.
Power Supply

The computer controller, of course, relies on power. The mount offers several options for power supply: Either via eight standard AA batteries if you want to be completely independent, or via an optional connection cable for a car's cigarette lighter socket, or via an optional AC adapter. The battery compartment integrated into the mount avoids cable tangle and allows maximum mobility.

The separately available cold-resistant Baader Planetarium Outdoor Telescope Power Supply #19 was developed especially for the Celestron telescopes. It provides the necessary voltage even at low temperatures - cheaper power supplies designed for indoor use often provide too little power in cold temperatures.

Future-proof
The NexStar-SE mount can be used not only with the included telescope, but also with many other telescopes or spotting scopes using the standard prism clamp. Thanks to the hand controller, which can be updated via the Internet, you can always keep the software up to date, and upgrade to the latest technologies such as SkyQ Link or StarSense at any time via the AUX connection. The telescope can also be used on many other mounts via the standard dovetail rail, for example if you want to do deep-sky photography one day.

A computerized Celestron telescope has everything you need to get started right away - while keeping all your options open for the future.
