Qu'est-ce qu'on peut voir avec le Celestron Evolution C6 ?

La Lune en détail, les planètes (bandes et lunes de Jupiter, anneaux de Saturne) et, sous un ciel sombre, les amas et nébuleuses les plus brillants comme la nébuleuse d'Orion. Son grossissement utile maximal est d'environ 300× (2 × le diamètre en mm) ; en pratique, la turbulence de l'atmosphère impose souvent de rester en dessous.

Quels oculaires sont fournis et quels grossissements ?

Deux oculaires fournis : 40 mm et 13 mm. Avec 1500 mm de focale, ils donnent 38× et 115×. Pour connaître le grossissement d'un oculaire, divisez la focale du télescope par celle de l'oculaire.

Est-il facile à transporter ?

Il reste transportable en voiture : le tube pèse environ 4,54 kg pour environ 40,6 cm de long et la monture environ 7 kg (plus 5,44 kg pour le trépied).

Faut-il le collimater ?

Rarement. L'optique est réglée en usine ; de temps en temps, un contrôle sur étoile suffit : on pointe une étoile brillante, on la défocalise légèrement et les anneaux doivent être bien concentriques. Si besoin, le réglage se fait avec les vis du miroir secondaire.

Peut-on faire de la photo ?

La monture motorisée suit les objets : c'est idéal pour filmer la Lune et les planètes avec un smartphone ou une petite caméra planétaire, et les planètes apparaissent déjà grandes grâce aux 1500 mm de focale. Les longues poses du ciel profond restent limitées, car une monture azimutale fait tourner le champ.

Que contient la boîte ?

Tube optique, monture à bras unique et trépied, plateau porte-accessoires, WiFi intégré, batterie lithium-fer intégrée, raquette NexStar+, oculaires 40 mm et 13 mm, chercheur point rouge, visual back, renvoi coudé, adaptateur secteur (4 fiches).

L'alimentation est-elle fournie avec le Celestron Evolution C6 (150mm) ?

Oui. La monture NexStar Evolution intègre une batterie LiFePO4 rechargeable (9,6 V, 4,5 Ah) et l'adaptateur secteur de recharge est fourni. Aucune alimentation supplémentaire n'est nécessaire.

With built-in WiFi connectivity, precise tracking and high-quality optics, this telescope opens the doors of the universe at your fingertips.

Explore the Universe with the SkyPortal Application

SkyPortal application Powered by SkySafari™ : An interactive planetarium interface for exploring the sky in real time.
SkyAlign simplified alignment : Use the app to align your telescope in just a few minutes, even if you don't know the constellations.
Intuitive navigation : Display visible celestial objects according to your location and the time of day, then point at your target with a simple tap.

Ergonomic and robust design

Ergonomic handles : Easy transport and quick installation.
Manual clutches : Allows you to point the telescope manually, even when it's switched off.
Sturdy metal tripod : With red LED-illuminated accessory tray and engravings for uniform height adjustment.
Integrated USB port : Charge your smartphone or accessories directly from the telescope.

A high-performance built-in battery

Integrated lithium-iron-phosphate battery : Up to 10 hours of observation on a single charge.
Intelligent energy management : Switches to energy-saving mode when battery power is low.

High Quality Optics

StarBright XLT coatings : Maximize light transmission for brighter, higher-contrast images.
Planetary observation and deep sky : Admire Saturn's rings, Jupiter's cloud bands and deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula.

Planetary and Deep Sky Astrophotography

Brass gears and improved motors : Precise tracking to capture detailed images of celestial objects.
Compatibility with HD Pro Wedge : Allows long exposures for spectacular astrophotography.
Ideal for beginners: Simply attach a digital SLR camera to immortalize your discoveries.

Accessories Included

StarPointer™ finder to simplify centering of celestial objects.
Two 1.25” Plössl eyepieces (25 mm and 13 mm) for various magnifications.
1.25” star diagonal for optimum visual comfort.
AC adapter for easy recharging at home.

Versatility and Connectivity

Frequently asked questions

What can you see with the Celestron Evolution C6?

The Moon in detail, the planets (Jupiter’s bands and moons, Saturn’s rings), and, under a dark sky, the brightest star clusters and nebulae, such as the Orion Nebula. Its maximum useful magnification is about 300× (2 × the diameter in mm); in practice, atmospheric turbulence often makes it necessary to stay below this limit.

Which eyepieces are included, and what are their magnifications?

Two eyepieces are included: 40 mm and 13 mm. With a focal length of 1,500 mm, they provide 38× and 115× magnification. To calculate the magnification of an eyepiece, divide the telescope’s focal length by the eyepiece’s focal length.

Is it easy to carry?

It can still be transported by car: the tube weighs about 4.54 kg and is about 40.6 cm long, and the mount weighs about 7 kg (plus 5.44 kg for the tripod).

Should we aim it at him?

Rarely. The optics are adjusted at the factory; from time to time, a star test is sufficient: point the telescope at a bright star, defocus it slightly, and the rings should be perfectly concentric. If necessary, adjustments can be made using the screws on the secondary mirror.

Can we take pictures?

The motorized mount tracks objects: this is ideal for filming the Moon and the planets with a smartphone or a small planetary camera, and the planets already appear large thanks to the 1,500 mm focal length. Long exposures of the deep sky remain limited, since an azimuth mount rotates the field of view.

What's in the box?

Optical tube, single-arm mount and tripod, accessory plate, built-in Wi-Fi, built-in lithium-iron battery, NexStar+ hand controller, 40 mm and 13 mm eyepieces, red-dot finder, visual back, right-angle prism, AC adapter (4 plugs).

Does the Celestron Evolution C6 (150mm) come with a power supply?

Yes. The NexStar Evolution mount includes a rechargeable LiFePO4 battery (9.6 V, 4.5 Ah), and the AC power adapter is included. No additional power source is required.
