NexStar 5SE

The NexStar 5SE combines Celestron's iconic orange tube with advanced Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, offering impressive light-gathering ability in a compact, portable form—ideal for detailed views of the Moon, planets, and deep-sky objects like nebulae and galaxies. The fully automated GoTo mount features a database of over 40,000 celestial objects, automatically locates and tracks targets with precision, and employs SkyAlign technology for fast, easy alignment by centering any three bright stars or planets in the eyepiece. A built-in wedge allows you to track long exposures, making the 5SE suitable for both visual observation and astrophotography of lunar and planetary subjects. The NexStar SE's unique, patented single fork arm mount is perfectly portable and breaks down into lightweight components for easy transport, even in small vehicles.
