Celestron NexStar 5 SE Computerized Telescope

The Celestron NexStar 5 SE is a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a five-inch aperture and StarBright XLT coatings for enhanced light transmission. It comes complete with a 25 mm eyepiece, Star Pointer finderscope, star diagonal, accessory tray, mount, tripod and a protective NexStar Case. The single fork arm mount features a computerized GoTo system for automated object location.

Suits beginners and seasoned stargazers wanting

The GoTo hand controller accesses a database of over 38000 celestial objects, making it easy to find planets, clusters and nebulae without manual star-hopping. Observers who prefer purely manual operation or who need a larger aperture for fainter deep-sky targets should consider a different instrument.

Five-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube

The 5 inch aperture combined with StarBright XLT coatings determines the brightness and resolution available for visual astronomy. The included 25 mm eyepiece yields 50x magnification, which sets the starting point for planetary and lunar observation.
