## Description

Celestron’s signature orange-tube telescope combines advanced features and excellent optics in one easy-to-use system, the NexStar 4SE. It’s the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.Our Founder’s Vision, Reimagined for the 21st CenturyIn the 1970s, Celestron’s Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes brought the hobby of astronomy to the masses and established Celestron as the world’s premier telescope maker. Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron’s proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.Four decades later, we’ve improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder’s intent.View the Universe’s Most Impressive Celestial ObjectsThe 4SE’s four-inch primary mirror packs enough light-gathering ability to observe the best that the solar system has to offer: Saturn’s rings, the cloud bands on Jupiter, and geographic features on the surface of the Moon. When it comes to deep sky objects, take your 4SE to a dark-sky site and you’ll see hundreds of pinpoint stars in the Hercules Globular Cluster, the spiral arms of the Whirlpool Galaxy, and more.Revolutionary Single Fork Arm MountWe know the best telescope is the one you will use most often. That’s why Celestron’s engineers created NexStar SE’s unique, patented single fork arm mount. It’s perfectly portable and makes setup quick and easy. What’s more, the NexStar SE breaks down into several lightweight and compact pieces, making it easy to transport, even in small vehicles. You’ll have no problem getting the NexStar SE to your favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.Of course, it’s what’s inside the mount that really counts. Sturdy construction from high-quality components give NexStar SE the pointing and tracking accuracy needed to observe and follow your favorite targets with push-button ease. Use the included NexStar+ hand control to locate over 40,000 celestial objects, or take a Sky Tour and let your telescope show you the best objects currently visible.Aligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just center three bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!

Review: A Great Telescope for All levels. Starter to serious. - Dear Fellow Astronomers... If Buying One, Please read All. When setting up, don't forget the bubble-level supplied. It is an essential part of an ALT-AZ mount. Get the mount "flat" to the ground. If on old grass, with a thatch, or soft ground, tripod pads may help with "drift", over a session. With this sorted, what can I say ?!! Amazing Telescope is the minimum comment. You have gained a Portable, Superb value telescope. It is obvious that other eyepieces may be a requirement. I bought a case of assorted eyepieces and filters (Celestron). I treated myself to a zoom lens too, great fun, but not essential (using many lenses in the construction, shall reduce brightness, but if your target is the moon or planets, or bright nebulae ..is interesting). Having read other reviews (thank you all), I bought a Celestron Power Tank. AA batteries are a great option though. With a corrector plate, dewing over, in the cold, is a possible issue. Again, a Celestron Dew Shield, prevents this. There are electric ones around, but a basic shround has served me well enough with a frosty air. In short you could end up buying many "extras", which are not required. I bought a focal reducer for brighter, wider angled view (Creating effectictive telescope ratio to F6.3 compared to C8 F10, as bought - is easy to screw on/off at the eyepiece holder). Do you need this ? I did for some things, but could have survived without. Decide what you need to add, and don't go mad for "power/magnification". 50x Magnification for every Inch of scope is great, before the loss of resolution starts. I found Jupiter's Red Spot (more light brown at the moment), at 150x. Yes, go higher if image clear and stable. However, know the difference between a clear sky, and good "seeing", when the stars have very little "twinkle". The atmosphere can be be deceptive from day/night. Avoid being disappointed, if a clear view is so different from one night to the next. I do not do astrophotography, Very expensive hobby. Visual is best for me. In a "captured image", the Brighter stars are Bigger. though they are not. In the eyepiece you always get that "needle-point" image, just more intense when brighter. Stunning vistas. Even Barnard's star, was amazing. Tiny faint needle-point star field, with an obvious faint red dwarf. I would not have found this, with any ease, without the GOTO handset where you can enter the celestial co-ordinates (RA-DEC) of any object (the menu options in your manual describing the handset controls - indeed always read your manuals - even though not "trendy" !) I needed that facility to "GOTO" for a few comets too, their constantly moving position, can be found online, each day. However below, for fun, to show what you can have a go at/for, with a mobile phoneholder on the eyepiece, is a limited view of Venus at Crescent phase (minor wobble), and a moon shot. Lastly, Alignment is very easy ! "2 star", if you know the Star Names, or "3 star", for Any Bright objects, but you must be accurate with location, and local time. To note, give a good spread, in compass angle (azimuth), of targets, whichever mode of alignment. Keep it simple, and do as much as you feel happy with, the 25mm eyepiece is fine. AA batteries are fine, don't spend a fortune with add-ons. Grow With the scope and what you want from it. A fantastic telescope. Have fun looking up !!! P.S. I had to add some lovely images of M42. The Great Nebula of Orion. As mentioned above, sometimes it is the night (seeing) that picks Us ! I love the visual of M42 in my 25mm eyepiece. If you Google "Messier 42 in a telescope eyepiece", you shall see images, drawn on paper (sketches), of huge flowing arms of gas. It is stunning in reality ! I could not take my eyes of it, even though a frosty night. What you Cannot See in low light is the colour ! I thought to put my phone over the eyepiece, with my phone holder, with some setting changes (mid-range Samsung, selecting:- Camera/More/Pro - many adjustments available), and was blown away. And had to share with you all. One lovely "still", showing the trapezium quartet of stars in this stellar nursery. One I over-exposed, showing more of M42 ... and M43 popped out, top-right (adjoined), and then for fun, I took a video ! ( you may need to increase screen brightness for full effect). The shimmering/scintillation is only atmospherics, though sure that that would be more the case, nearer to it ! I did a video of Jupiter too, but only one video allowed here. All my shots in this review are my first attempts, with no processing. Just for fun and show a little of what a Celestron C8 can provide. Additional: Don't forget to use the "Sky Tour" button (also number 5), on the handset... for other delights ! I found that it can give me, some targets, very low on the horizon, so if not available, "arrow skip" them and carry on. Enjoy. I do.
Review: Excellent. - Only used a couple of times up to now lots of cloudy sky. When it was possible great view of the moon and Saturn. Takes some setting up and quite heavy to handle. Depending were you are can be used connected to electric or on batteries. Up to now very pleased with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent.

Only used a couple of times up to now lots of cloudy sky. When it was possible great view of the moon and Saturn. Takes some setting up and quite heavy to handle. Depending were you are can be used connected to electric or on batteries. Up to now very pleased with this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great top notch telescope built to last forever!
*by D***. on 25 August 2025*

This is a top notch telescope. Everything about it is quality and it is all heavy, solid stuff. The quality of the optics is superb. Surprisingly, it is very easy to put together. And then to use it, I thought it might be complicated. But it isn't. To start with, you can use the hand control like a joystick to just point it and use the finder scope! The spiret level was a breeze to use because if you extend the tripod on a level surface, it is bang on anyway. I like the useful max power of 500x and the impressive 8inch appature to gather the light. Use this with a computer connected CCD eyepiece and it is even more unbelievable good! Expensive but great quality, built to last and zip running costs. Oh, and you can get a power adapter for 12 pounds to save on the batteries too.
