About this product

Product Information

The Celestron NexStar 4SE 13 Maksotov-Cassegrain telescope can bring stars in the sky into focus for both novice and experienced stargazers. You can appreciate the many user-friendly accessories and features of this telescope, including a GoTo mount, which can easily find and track more than 40,000 celestial objects for your viewing. The computerized Altazimuth mount automates the process for you to ensure stargazing success right out of the box. The user-friendly design of the Celestron NexStar telescope can give you the power you need to enjoy an expansive view of space, whether in your own backyard or out in the field. The telescope is fully assembled, and it attaches easily to the tripod so it’s ready to use immediately. Power the telescope with eight AA batteries, or plug it in with the AC adapter. The portability of the telescope enables you to break it down into separate lightweight pieces to take it along to a mobile observation site. Setting it back up again can be a simple task as well. Built-in features of the Celestron NexStar scope can ensure stargazing success. The telescope has 4-degree per second slew speed with fully enclosed motors and a focal length of 1300mm. Optical encoders can enable position location for precise alignment, which can be ideal for amateur astronomers. You can learn about astronomy with these telescopes because Celestron NexStar has built in a Sky Tour feature that takes you on a virtual tour of the sky. Thanks to the Star Pointer Finderscope, the telescope can easily locate the most interesting celestial objects in the sky as you look through the eyepiece, and it can slew to each one automatically to show them to you with brilliant magnification. If you’re experienced with stargazing, you can utilize the telescope’s comprehensive database that includes almost 40,000 objects to locate the items you want to view. The database even includes customized lists of the best objects, including variable stars and double stars. Viewing conditions can determine how much you can see with telescopes. Celestron recommends that new users spend time familiarizing themselves with the telescope by reading through the manual. Then, when you are ready to look to the sky, the NexStar software can walk you through the entire process. The integrated hand controller can give you easy optics control of the telescope, and it’s built right into the side of the fork arm. The removable hand controller can even guide you through the process of aligning the telescope with on-screen instructions for each step thanks to the SkyAlign technology. As you use the NexStar telescope, you can store objects in the internal memory of the unit for future access. The Celestron NexStar scope can rise above other comparable telescopes due to options such as the flip mirror that provides straight-through or 90-degree viewing and the available mount for connecting a camera to the telescope. The Camera Wizard can guide you through piggybacking a camera to the telescope. Celestron can also offer optional accessories, which you can use with these telescopes. You can choose from items such as additional eyepieces, which can increase field of view and lens aperture. With the Celestron NexStar 4SE telescope, the galaxy can be yours to explore.

    Prefer this size to 6/8SE

    I have always have fond memories of my 6/8 SE Mount. I wanted the same but somewhat smaller for my Mead ETX 90 and my Orion 89 scopes. This mount is perfect in size, weight and function.

    Not what I expected for $500

    Not as good as I expected. Yes you can see Jupiter and Saturn, but they are the size of a pin head when viewed. The alignment is easy enough, but if you want it to track what you are viewing, you have to align it to three different stars. I bought some extra eyepieces hoping I could get a better view, but not much different than the original eyepiece. The moon, however, is very clear and detailed. I also bought separately the adapter for my camera to take photos. The problem with that is you have to refocus the telescope for the camera.

  • Where's the Moon?

    I was using the telescope on a night with a full moon.Highly anticipating the view I was about to see but alas it was not to be because the cap on the end of the scope could not be removed. Someone had glued it in! Possibly a prankster at the factory I suppose! Oh well, I have since fixed the issue and it works "AOK"

  • Real heavy good quality

    I was first in doubt if there was any tripod included with the telescope, and i would have accepted crappy plastic gears for such a relative low price, but both exceeded those expectations. The tripod is very sturdy and heavy, the computer controlled motors work very well, and until so far i was even able to identify Jupiter (by accident though, i first thought it was a star i went looking at lol :) ). Cannot wait to have a look at Saturn when the right moment is there.

  • B++

    I would give A+ but when we opened the battery compartment they were corroded. Other than that it was perfect condition.
