Its the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price. In the 1970s, Celestrons Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the worlds premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestrons 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 founders intent. View the Universes Most Impressive Celestial Objects The 5SEs five-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: 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 5SE 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 Celestrons engineers created NexStar SE'

Several smaller items not wrapped up any longer. Not sure if a "refurbished" was accidentally shipped or just a messed up unit. Unfortunately after putting batteries in we heard a pop sound. Twice. Opened hatch to find battery acid everywhere. Sad. Wanted to enjoy it. Not sure what was wrong but we sent it back.

It’s ok, the phone app leaves a little to be desired, but if it comes to work as advertised, I’ll be happy

Owned two other telescopes and this on is by far the best. No more knobs to twist and alignment is a breeze.
