The Celestron NexStar 4SE telescope combines the classic heritage of the original orange tube telescopes with state-of-the-art features including a fully computerized operating system, flash upgradeable hand control, superior coatings, SkyAlign telescope alignment software and much more! Let a Celestron NexStar 4SE help you find thousands of stars, planets, galaxies and more at the touch of a button! The Celestron NexStar 4SE is a rock solid telescope. With the Celestron NexStar 4SE, Celestron has built a Computerized Telescope that is a snap to align with Celestron's SkyAlign Go-To Alignment system. On average it takes a new telescope user approximately 5 minutes to do a full sky alignment with this telescope. Once aligned the Celestron NexStar 4SE is incredibly easy to operate. This Celestron telescope yields super crisp images of the night sky and once aligned finds objects with dead-on accuracy. The NexStar 4SE by Celestron sits on a sturdy tripod which offers maximum stability when looking at distant objects. The hand controller on the telescope allows you to move the scope at your discretion. The NexStar 4SE hand controller offers a tour of the night sky and easily allows you to locate planets, galaxies or any of the 40,000 celestial objects in its database.
