Celestron NexStar 6 SE 6"/150mm Catadioptric Telescope Kit

Description

Featuring Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, the Celestron NexStar 6 SE is an ideal telescope for observing and photographing celestial subjects. With a weight of just 30 lb (13.6 kg) including the tripod, the portable 6 SE features a precision optical system with 1500 mm focal length at ƒ10.0, and provides 44% more light gathering than a 5" telescope.

Key Features

• StarBright XLT high transmission coatings for sharp, high contrast views with accurate color
• SkyAlign allows alignment on any three bright celestial objects, making for a rapid, efficient alignment process. It then functions as a 'go-to' system accepting commands through the handset and pointing the optical assembly toward any one of nearly 40,000 objects stored in its database. Using the (optional) CN-16 (93963) GPS accessory connection and an external GPS (not included), alignment is entirely automatic.
• NexRemote telescope control software and RS-232 cable included for advanced control of the telescope with a PC
• StarPointer finderscope helps with alignment and locating objects
• Flash-upgradeable handset control software and motor control units by way of downloadable updates
• Robust, computerized altazimuth mount
• Exceptionally sturdy steel tripod for long service and rapier-sharp astrophotography
