The Celestron NexStar 6 SE is a rock solid telescope. With the Celestron NexStar 6 SE, 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 the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain NexStar 6 SE. Once aligned the Celestron 6 SE is incredibly easy to operate. The hand controller on the NexStar 6SE allows you to move the telescope at your discretion. The NexStar 6SE 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.

Optically the Celestron NexStar 6 SE telescope is nearly flawless with Celestron's famous Schmidt-Cassegrain (SCT) Optical System. The Celestron NexStar 6 SE yields super crisp images of the night sky and once aligned finds objects with dead-on accuracy. The Celestron NexStar 6 SE sits on a sturdy tripod which offers maximum stability when looking at distant objects.
