Celestron NexStar 6 SE Computerized Telescope

The Celestron NexStar 6 SE is a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with a 6-inch aperture and StarBright XLT coatings for high light transmission. It features a single fork arm mount with a computerized GoTo system and NexStar+ database. The package includes a 25mm eyepiece, star diagonal, Star Pointer finderscope, accessory tray, tripod, Starry Night SE software, CPWI control software, and a SkyPortal WiFi Module.

Best For Visual Observers Wanting Automated GoTo

This telescope suits astronomers who want a portable 6-inch aperture with automatic object location and WiFi control via the SkyPortal module. It is not for buyers who need a larger aperture for fainter deep-sky objects or those who require a German equatorial mount for long-exposure astrophotography.

6-Inch Aperture With 354x Highest Useful

The 6-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube delivers up to 354x highest useful magnification for detailed planetary and lunar observation. StarBright XLT coatings enhance light transmission for brighter images. This aperture and magnification combination determines the level of detail visible on planets and the brightness of deep-sky objects.
