It’s the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.Our Founder’s Vision, Reimagined for the 21st CenturyIn the 1970s, Celestron’s Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world’s premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron’s proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.Four decades later, we’ve improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder’s intent.View the Universe’s Most Impressive Celestial ObjectsThe 6SE’s six-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Cassini’s Division in Saturn’s rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 6SE to a dark-sky site and you’ll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.Revolutionary Single Fork Arm MountWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That’s why Celestron’s engineers created NexStar SE’s unique, patented single fork arm mount. It’s perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What’s more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You’ll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.Of course, it’s what’s inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.Aligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself! ## Features - NEXSTAR COMPUTERISED TELESCOPE: The NexStar 6SE computerised telescope features celestron’s iconic orange tube design with updated technology and the latest features for amazing stargazing for beginners and experienced observers - 6-INCH APERTURE: The six-inch primary mirror in this Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope for adults and kids to be used together packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that our solar system has to offer, while retaining a compact form factor - FULLY-AUTOMATED GOTO MOUNT: Featuring a database of more than 40,000 celestial objects, the GoTo mount built into our telescopes for astronomy beginners automatically locates and tracks objects for you - EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND BREAK DOWN: The single fork arm design and sturdy steel tripod all assemble and break down from separate components for easy transportation, SkyAlign technology gets your telescope aligned and ready in minutes - BONUS FREE STARRY NIGHT SOFTWARE: The NexStar 6SE Telescope includes a FREE download of one of the top consumer rated astronomy software programs for an interactive sky simulation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GUKTDM | | Best Sellers Rank | 13,668 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 42 in Telescopes | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Coating | XLT | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (918) | | Dawes Limit | 0.77 Arc Sec | | Exit Pupil Diameter | 2.5 Millimeters | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Plossl | | Field Of View | 1.7 Degrees | | Finderscope | Built-on StarPointer™ red dot finderscope | | Focal Length Description | 415 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234110686 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 32D x 26W x 12H centimetres | | Item Weight | 21 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 11068-CGL | | Model Name | NexStar 6SE SCT | | Model Number | 11068 | | Mount | Computerized Altitude-Azimuth Single Fork Arm | | Number of Batteries | 1 CR2032 batteries required.

What scope would you recommend.** A: My advice... You will quickly outgrow this scope. Go for a scope on an equatorial mount preferably avx to begin with. With regards to software, stellarium will work on ipad **Q: Ive noticed you need to connect to a computer or laptop, isit compatible with windows 10?** A: You dont 'need' to, but if you are interested i using a webcam etc or laptop based guidance etc you will, but the scope is ok on its own if you have a little knowledge of the night sky to help line it up. **Q: I am looking to purchase one of the Celestron 6SE telescopes but am concerned that there is no expected time that you will have them back in stock?** A: The Celestron Nexstar range come into stock quite often But you got to be quick they do sell fast Would recommend it as the are awesome **Q: Do you have to align these scopes each time you use them?** A: Hi, yes you do. Enter correct time and location then point to 3 bright objects in sky. It’s a little fidgety. You can by an add on which Clips on top of the view finder and plugs in to telescope and simply allows you to point it the sky and it works it all out itself . Take a about 3 mins to align. It’s approx £240 so not cheap but I am going to get one for ours.
