Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Telescopes
This telescope is the perfect Go to telescope for the beginner and the advanced. I have bigger and more powerful telescopes but I love the portability of this telescope and use it more often. It is the perfect size and plenty of stargazing power. "Keep Looking Up"

Doesn't have an auto-off, so you burn $9.00 worth of batteries each time you forget to hit the off switch. The instruction manual does not match the product. There is a legal caveat acknowledging this, but the product is too complex and too expensive to have an incorrect and confusing instruction manual. It needs to be updated. The sighting device is a cheap red-dot scope from a kids Daisy air rifle, too cheap for a $700 telescope, and it doesn't have sufficient adjustment range to get the dot aligned, so you just have to get it as close as possible and then extrapolate in your mind to where the telescope is really pointing. And there is no glare guard to the sighting device, so the smallest amount of ambient light creates a reflection of the sighting device base that prevents seeing stars through the sighting device. I find it bizzare that you must go through the alignment process each and every time you power up. The telescope would be infinitely more useful if you could align the telescope once, and not move it, and it would still be still aligned the next time. Yet the manufacture didn't invest a dime to save the alignment. Particularly bad since you can't leave the power on. Maybe an AC Adapter would fix that. I was originally very impressed by the alignment process-some really smart software engineers! After first successful alignment I said "find the moon" and it got real close, but the moon was just outside the view. With the cheapo viewfinder I didn't know which way to nudge the moon back in view. (if you can't find the moon, how will you ever find a distant star?) Then I said "find Uranus," which worked. Then I said "find the moon" again, and the telescope pointed 180 deg away from the moon. I'm not so impressed anymore with the software. Read full review

The Telescope is well designed and I like that it is not too heavy. My son uses it more and set it in less than 10 minutes. I have not been able to see clear images that is why I gave it 3 stars. It may be that I need more experience using it.

Great for beginning or intermediate users. Easy to break down and move about and setup. I have owned mostly Meade scopes and being the first celestron scope I was fairly impressed with the outcome. Views were sharp on distant stars and the moon looked extremely clear. Can take short exposure photos but most long time exposure photos would take more advanced and expensive equipment. I bought mine used but even new they’re a good bargain. I use an adapter for power and the cord could have been longer, but an extension allows more flexibility.

I’ve had my eye on a NexStar 6SE for a while and I couldn’t be happier. It arrived quickly, in excellent condition, and the mirrors look amazing! It assembled quickly and without fuss. I owned a 4SE for years and enjoy the upgrade.

2015년 올해의 망원경으로 선정 될 만큼 많은 양이 판매되었다고 하는 제품입니다. 실제로 미국인들은 sct를 유달리 좋아하는데 이는 구경대비 이동성이 좋아서 그럴가능성이 커 보입니다. nexstar 시리즈가 4부터 8인치 까지 있는데 6인치를 선택한 이유는 바로 이동성+구경+튼튼함+가성비 등 여러가지를 한번에 이룰 수 있기 때문이고 이 때문에 2015년 올해의 망원경으로 선정된 이유이기도 할 것 입니다. 일단 6인치는 8인치와 같은 튼튼한 가대를 사용하지만 경통무게와 사이즈가 작으므로 더 견고한 가대를 기대할 수 있습니다, 그리고 6인치경통은 가대와 길이가 맞기 때문에 접어서 경통+경위대 한세트로 수납과 이동이 가능합니다. 8인치에 비해 더 포터블한 셈이죠. 또 sct의 단점인 냉각시간이 8인치에 비해 6인치가 더 적기 때문이기고 합니다. 물론 위와같은 장점을 가진대신 8인치에 비해 광량이 실질적으로 70%정도 적기 때문에 그만큼 광량에 대한 손해는 보겠지만.. 8인치보다 좋은 이동성으로 더 자주 볼 수 있다면 카바 가능하리라 생각 합니다. 무엇보다 약간의 광축만 손 봐 주면 아주 선명한 중심상이 생각보다 좋아서 행성이나 달 성단등을 볼때 굴절과 같이 예리한 상을 볼 수 있을만한 가성비 좋은 제품이라 생각 합니다 ^^
