The NexStar Evolution 6 is the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with integrated WiFi, featuring a 6-inch optical tube with StarBright XLT optical coatings and a computerized GoTo mount with high-performance worm gears and motors. Control the scope wirelessly from any iOS or Android device using the SkyPortal mobile app with its planetarium interface, and the proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure makes setup ready within minutes. The built-in rechargeable lithium-iron phosphate battery powers the telescope for up to 10 hours on a single charge, making this ideal for extended observing sessions and astrophotography alike. The tracking accuracy is impressive enough for capturing deep-sky images like the Orion Nebula with a DSLR camera, and the package includes a StarPointer finderscope, two 1.25" Plossl eyepieces, a star diagonal, and AC adapter.
