Celestron NexStar 6 SE Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope Bundle

Celestron NexStar 6 SE Computerized Telescope

The Celestron NexStar 6 SE is a 6-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a fully automated GoTo mount. It arrives new with a 25mm eyepiece, star diagonal, StarPointer finderscope, accessory tray, single fork arm mount and tripod, plus a bundle that adds a night vision flashlight, sky maps book, 1.25" moon filter and cleaning kit. StarBright XLT coatings boost light transmission for brighter, clearer views of celestial objects. The NexStar+ hand control and CPWI software manage a database of 40,000+ targets.

Best for visual observers who want automated finding

This bundle suits astronomers who want a portable, computerised system that can locate and track thousands of objects without manual star-hopping. The SkyAlign routine only needs three bright objects to align, making setup straightforward for beginners and experienced users alike. Buyers who need a larger aperture for fainter deep-sky detail or a German equatorial mount for long-exposure astrophotography should consider other configurations.

150mm aperture with 40,000-object database

The 5.91-inch (150mm) aperture gathers ample light to reveal structure in nebulae, star clusters and brighter galaxies under dark skies. The GoTo database covers 40,000+ objects, and the Tour feature suggests the best targets for your time and location. The single fork arm alt-azimuth mount tracks accurately for visual use but lacks the equatorial stability required for serious deep-sky imaging sessions.
