NextStar C6 kit (telescope, mount, case and battery)

Celestron NexStar 6 SE SCT kit with carrying case and battery

This complete kit on Celestron NexStar 6 SE is an excellent solution for discovering astronomy with a compact, powerful and easy-to-use instrument. It includes the Schmidt-Cassegrain 150 mm telescope, its NexStar motorized mount, a suitable carrying case and a Powertank 12V 3Ah battery for easy use in the field.

With its 150 mm and its focal length of 1500 mm, The NexStar 6 SE offers excellent performance on the Moon, planets, star clusters, bright nebulae and certain galaxies. Its Schmidt-Cassegrain optical tube remains short and portable, while offering a long focal length ideal for detailed observation.

A simple, high-performance GoTo telescope

The azimuth mount NexStar single-arm provides motorized pointing of celestial objects. The computerized control system makes it much easier to find the main targets in the night sky, even when you're just starting out. The finder StarPointer facilitates initial alignment, while the control paddle lets you navigate the celestial object database.

This kit is particularly well-suited to users looking for a compact, serious and upgradeable telescope, without having to put together each accessory separately.

Ideal for the Moon, planets and the deep sky.

The NexStar 6 SE excels in lunar and planetary observation. Saturn, Jupiter, Mars or lunar craters reveal a wealth of detail in the right atmospheric conditions. Its 150 mm diameter also gives access to many deep-sky objects: globular clusters, open clusters, bright nebulae and galaxies accessible under sufficiently dark skies.

Photography is possible to a limited extent, particularly for lunar and planetary imagery, with a suitable camera. For long exposure astrophotography of the deep sky, however, an equatorial mount is more appropriate.
