## Description

Celestron 11068 NexStar 6 SE Computerised TelescopeCelestron’s signature orange-tube telescope combines advanced features and excellent optics in one easy-to-use system, the NexStar 6SE. 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 Century In 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 Objects The 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 Mount We 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 garden. 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 centre three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself! Advanced Features Let the NexStar SE Grow with You The NexStar SE is compatible with all the high-tech accessories advanced users love. Provide GPS coordinates to your telescope with SkySync, or add automatic alignment functionality with StarSense AutoAlign. For planetary imaging, pair your NexStar 6SE with one of our Skyris cameras. Or, experiment with wide-field deep sky astroimaging by replacing the telescope’s secondary mirror with a DSLR or astronomical CCD camera with a Fastar/HyperStar lens assembly. From your first observing session and for years to come, the NexStar SE is your trusted companion.Celestron 93640 1.25 Inch Universal Barlow and T-Adaptor, Silver/BlackUniversal 31.7mm T-Adapter. Similar to #93625 but in addition includes an integral 2x Barlow lens which can be used visually or photographicallyIf you’d like some flexibility in your astrophotography set-up, consider the Celestron Universal Barlow & T-Adapter (93640). This 1.25” accessory can be used three ways: as a 2X Barlow for visual use, as a prime focus T-adapter, or as a “Barlowed” T-adapter for double the magnification and the benefit of extra inward focus travel. The Universal Barlow & T-Adapter can be used as a 2X Barlow right out of the box. Insert any 1.25” eyepiece into the chamber and you’ll enjoy double the magnification, while retaining all the eye relief of the inserted eyepiece. The Celestron Universal Barlow & T-Adapter can also be used for prime focus photography, which means you use the telescope as a photographic lens—a very big photographic lens! Just unscrew the bottom section of the unit to remove the Barlow and slide the chrome barrel into the telescope’s 1.25” focuser or adapter. Lock it firmly in place with the focuser or adapter thumbscrew. T-threads on the top of the adapter screw into a T-Ring (sold separately) that is designed to attach to the brand-specific mounting flange of your DSLR or SLR camera.

    Awe inspiring and worth every penny
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2018*

After studying Astrophysics at university I always had a strong desire to get me a big fat orange tube. Unfortunately I could never afford what I wanted and anything else never really cut the mustard.This is a big beast. 3 large boxes and the build quality is evident from first opening. I was worried about how shipping delicate optics would be, however shouldn’t have worried as the shipping boxes have bespoke foam inserts that I can see me using for some time.So far it’s been pretty cloudy. I’ve read a lot and learnt some of the nuances of setup. First things first the best advice I read was  to practise setup in the day time, getting comfortable with the weight and size. Then point it at a distant chimney pot or similar instead of aligning automatically. Once happy and focussed (left for infinity, right for close up) take a look at the spotter scope and align the red dot using the 2 knobs. Worked a treat and my alignment was so much better.Second best tip was to use 2 star align rather than the full on sky align. Results are comparable but often sky align fails.I’ll build on my review as I learn more but with a great Black Friday saving I’m so happy I waited and saved up for a scope that is truly awe inspiring.Update after a couple of months..  Lots of cloud apparent, but some good viewing so far.  My only addons so far have been a dew shield and an 8mm-25mm Celestron zoom eyepiece that is great value for money..  Next comes AstroPhotography

    Disappointed
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2020*

Only owning a 2nd hand 5 inch telescope, I have always wanted an 8 inch telescope (size is everything) and decided to buy in xmas sale. I was unfortunately very disappointed. Firstly, the computer needs the date/time set on EVERY usage. Secondly the red dot finder (RDF) is practically useless (you struggle to see anything thru it with one eye) and the focussing requires 32 turns of a cheap knob. The Sky Align said it had worked (point at three bright objects) but I could not get it to find objects (the aim was slightly off) despite checking levelling, date/time, location and so on. Tried again (from scratch) on a clearer night but had exactly the same issues and at the end of the day could not justify the expense of this item (to my wife) with the frustrating experience. I suspect the light gathering optics are probably great, but could not locate any objects (either automatically or manually) with this set up. Cannot believe something this expensive comes without the facility to maintain date/time and has a useless RDF and dodgy focusser ... so I am disappointedly returning as “not fit for purpose” and returning to my 5 inch which at a fraction of the price of this scope at least allows me to view objects (automatically and manually) I.e. it works. Perhaps this scope could be great but not without buying gps (£150) to feed date/time, motorised focus (£150) and better auto finder (e.g. sky prodigy £350) which is outside my budget.

    Disappointed
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2019*

I will start this review by saying that I am not an expert. I got this telescope for my son and there is no way that we can manage to focus properly. The image is always out of focus. We absolutely are unable to obtain a clear and in focus image. I don’t know why. Definitely the focusing knob has a serious issue. It doesn’t seem to be precise and it’s not just a matter of going backwards and forwards with it, it just doesn’t work the same way you would focus with the camera. The magnification is a lot less than I expected (remember, not an expert in telescopes) the moon appears as a whole in the eyepiece and by adding a different eyepiece (I got a £300 9mm) the image is incredibly dark and in this case the focusing issue is way bigger.  I definitely need to investigate these issues, but for now it seems to be a big waste of money.
