You must be in the right location to get the full use of it.
After four decades of innovation and refinement, the NexStar 5 SE Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope continues to uphold Celestron's reputation as the world's leading telescope maker. This high-quality, durable telescope, with its signature orange tube, is an advanced and sophisticated tool for both novice and experienced stargazers.
The NexStar 5 SE boasts a 5-inch primary mirror, designed to gather ample light for striking views of the solar system's most impressive celestial objects. From the rings of Saturn to the cloud bands on Jupiter, and even the detailed geographic features on the moon's surface, this telescope brings the universe closer to you.
Venture to a dark-sky site and the NexStar 5 SE reveals its prowess in observing deep sky objects. Witness the hundreds of stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.
The NexStar 5 SE features a revolutionary single fork arm mount, a patented design unique to Celestron. This innovative feature ensures the telescope is portable and easy to set up. The telescope breaks down into compact, lightweight pieces, making it convenient to transport to your favorite observing site or set up in your backyard.
Inside the mount, you'll find sturdy construction from high-quality components, providing the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite celestial objects with ease. The included NexStar+ hand control allows you to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope guide you to the best objects currently visible.
Aligning your telescope is a breeze thanks to SkyAlign. This process simplifies alignment to a 1-2-3 step: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For an even easier alignment, attach the StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!
The NexStar 5 SE is compatible with all high-tech accessories that advanced users love. From providing GPS coordinates with SkySync, to adding automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign, this telescope is designed to grow with you. For those interested in astroimaging, the 5SE's built-in wedge allows for tracking long exposures. You can even replace the telescope's secondary mirror with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera for wide field images captured at f/2 using a Fastar/HyperStar lens assembly.
In summary, the NexStar 5 SE Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope is more than just a telescope; it's your trusted companion in exploring the wonders of the universe.
