Celestron NexStar 5SE Computerized Telescope – 5-Inch Schmidt-Cassegrain with Fully Automated GoTo Mount and SkyAlign Technology

Discover the universe like never before with the Celestron NexStar 5SE, a powerful and compact computerized telescope that’s perfect for both beginners and advanced users. Featuring the iconic orange tube design and advanced Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, the NexStar 5SE delivers an exceptional stargazing experience—whether you're observing the Moon, planets, or deep-sky objects.


Powerful 5-Inch Schmidt-Cassegrain Optics

At the heart of the NexStar 5SE is a 5-inch (125mm) aperture primary mirror, offering excellent light-gathering ability in a compact form. This telescope strikes the ideal balance between performance and portability. Enjoy bright, sharp views of:
– The craters and valleys of the Moon
– Jupiter’s cloud bands and Saturn’s rings
– Bright deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and the Hercules Cluster

Its compact design makes it easy to transport to dark-sky locations, while still offering powerful magnification and clarity.


Fully Automated GoTo Mount with 40,000+ Object Database

The NexStar 5SE features a fully computerized single-fork arm mount with a built-in GoTo system. With just a few button presses, it can automatically locate and track over 40,000 celestial objects, including planets, stars, galaxies, and nebulae.

– Compatible with StarSense AutoAlign for automated alignment
– Works with SkyPortal WiFi Module (sold separately) for wireless telescope control via smartphone or tablet
– Smooth, motorized tracking ensures that your object stays centered in the eyepiece


Quick Setup with SkyAlign Technology

Setting up the NexStar 5SE is simple and fast. Thanks to SkyAlign technology, all you need to do is point the telescope at any three bright objects in the sky, and it will automatically calculate its position. No polar alignment or previous knowledge of the night sky required.

The telescope assembles in minutes with no tools needed, and breaks down easily into lightweight components for storage or travel.
