With a generous 4 inch aperture the Celestron NexStar 4SE Telescope provides excellent light-gathering ability at an affordable price. You’ll be thrilled with views of the Moon and planets, along with deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula while retaining a compact size. Its fully automated GoTo computerised mount with database of 40,000+ celestial objects automatically locates and tracks objects for you.
SkyAlign Technology
SkyAlign makes aligning a computerized telescope fast, easy, and accurate. Simply point at any three bright objects in the sky and the telescope aligns itself. From there, navigation and tracking is as easy as pushing a button.
Unique Single Fork Mount Design
Debate about the "best" telescope is nearly as endless as the Universe itself but we know one thing quite well - the best telescope is the one you will use most often! That’s why Celestron’s engineers created NexStar SE’s unique, single fork arm mount. It’s perfectly portable and makes for quick and easy set up compared to many designs. The NexStar SE disassembles into several compact pieces so it's easy to transport. You’ll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly at home.
Of course, it’s what’s inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give the Celestron NexStar 4SE Telescope the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. How many other telescopes can locate and track over 40,000 celestial objects - or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible?
Advanced Features Let the Celestron NexStar 4SE Telescope Grow with You
The NexStar 4SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync. If you want to explore the world of astroimaging, the 4SE is a perfect choice. Its built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures. Or, if you’re interested in imaging the Moon and planets, pair your NexStar 4SE with one of our ZWO planetary imaging cameras.
Please note that for DSLR photography, you will require both a Celestron MAK T-Adapter (not the SCT T-Adapter), and a DSLR T-Ring for your specific camera.

The true draw card is that the Celestron NexStar Evolution series are the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes with integrated WiFi. You no longer need your hand controller to slew to all the best celestial objects. Instead you can explore the night sky with a tap of your smartphone or tablet. Connect your device to built-in Celestron NexStar Evolution 6 Telescope wireless network, and explore the universe with the free Celestron mobile app for iOS and Android. Enjoy the convenience of a planetarium interface to view the night sky in real time or display a list of celestial objects currently visible based on your time and location. Celestron's proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure is built right into the Celestron mobile app, so you’re ready to observe within minutes.
Optional Solar Filter
Forget about batteries or an external power supply. For the first time ever on a consumer telescope, NexStar Evolution includes its own built-in battery. With this ultra-long life lithium-ion phosphate battery, you’ll be able to enjoy stargazing marathons up to 10 hours on a single charge. You can even use NexStar Evolution’s USB charge port to top off the other devices in your life that need to stay powered on during an observing session. An intelligent power management system senses when battery levels are low and goes into power-saving mode to keep your telescope running for as long as possible.
If you’re interested in astroimaging, the Celestron NexStar Evolution 6 Telescope is an excellent, affordable way to get started. It’s the only fork-mounted telescope in its price range that offers brass worm gears, along with improved motors. NexStar Evolution’s tracking accuracy is so impressive, you can capture images of deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula by simply attaching your DSLR camera. As you progress with imaging, you can add the Evolution Equatorial Wedge allowing longer exposures than conventional alt-az tracking, for more detailed deep sky portraits.
Even if you don't own the NexStar Evolution 6 just yet, check out the Sky Portal app. Search for astronomical wonders you wish to discover, then go and find them! Choose from a seemingly endless database of planets, satellites, stars, Messier objects, constellations, meteor showers, and deep sky targets.

From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar Evolution is your trusted companion. For further information, including manuals and videos visit the Celestron website.
The most user-friendly telescope ever
Celestron engineers designed NexStar Evolution 5 based on years of customer feedback. It offers many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you the best possible experience out under the stars.
Forget about batteries or an external power supply. For the first time ever on a consumer telescope, NexStar Evolution 5 includes its own built-in battery. With this ultra-long life lithium-iron phosphate battery, you’ll be able to enjoy stargazing marathons up to 10 hours on a single charge. You can even use NexStar Evolution’s 5 USB charge port to top off the other devices in your life that need to stay powered on during an observing session. An intelligent power management system senses when battery levels are low and goes into power-saving mode to keep your telescope running for as long as possible.
Setting up your NexStar Evolution 5 is quick and painless with large, ergonomic handles. The all-metal tripod features a metal accessory tray with indentations for storing and carrying the tripod. During setup, leg etchings help you achieve a level, uniform height for your telescope. Manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth offer greater flexibility to manually point the telescope when powered off. Store up to 7 eyepieces in 2 accessory trays, one with an adjustable red LED illuminator.
