Celestron NexStar 4 SE Maksutov-Cassegrain

This computerized telescope combines a 4-inch Maksutov-Cassegrain optical tube with a single fork arm mount. It is designed for amateur and seasoned astronomers who want a portable system with a database of over 38,000 celestial objects. The kit includes a 1.25-inch eyepiece and filter set plus a 25mm eyepiece for immediate observing.

No-tool assembly and SkyAlign software

The telescope requires no tools for setup, allowing quick deployment for impromptu sessions. SkyAlign alignment software simplifies the initial configuration so users can begin stargazing in minutes. The computerized GoTo mount then automatically locates and tracks selected targets from the NexStar+ database, keeping objects centered in the eyepiece.

Suits visual observers wanting GoTo convenience

Buyers who want a grab-and-go package with computerized pointing and a supplied accessory kit will find this a good fit. Observers seeking larger aperture for fainter deep-sky objects or those who prefer a fully manual equatorial mount for astrophotography should look at alternative configurations.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the GoTo system is aligned correctly after setting up the NexStar 4 SE?

Complete the SkyAlign procedure using three bright celestial objects; the hand control will confirm alignment success and the mount will automatically track the selected target, keeping it centered in the 25mm eyepiece.

What accessories come with the telescope and which items must be purchased separately?

The kit includes the optical tube, single fork arm mount with tripod, 25mm eyepiece, StarPointer finderscope, accessory tray, 1.25" eyepiece and filter kit, plus Starry Night SE and CPWI software downloads.

Which eyepiece from the included 1.25" kit should I use to reach the highest magnification?

Combine the shortest focal-length eyepiece in the 1.25" kit with the telescope's native focal length to approach the maximum 241x magnification for detailed planetary and lunar observation.
