Muy buen precio en ese entonces. Buena calidad. Llegó todo bien.

En general muy buen telescopio. Los lentes vienen bien colimados y ademas viene bien empacado, sobrevivio al viaje terrestre de 2000km de envío. La calidad de las imagenes es impresionante, es facil de usar para principiantes pero si hay que tener cierta paciencia. El buscador de punto rojo no es tan estable, quiza eso mejoraría. Las baterias se las acaba en minutos, asi que hay que comprar un cargador de 12V aparte

Es un excelente telescopio para iniciar, muy preciso en los GOTOs. Si está bien colimado, da imágenes definidas, aunque no del nivel de un refractor. El control de mano es fácil de usar, muy intuitivo. Las únicas cosas que no me gustaron fueron: buscador de punto rojo (imposible trabajar en el cenit con él), el diagonal de plástico, y el ocular (se requieren otros dos oculares). Es muy silencioso en los desplazamientos a máxima velocidad.

Super fácil de usar, es mi primer telescopio y es la primera vez que lo uso y logré estás increíbles tomas con mi celular y los lentes que venian incluidos.Todo eso lo capture en mi ciudad a las 10pm en mi jardin, con el alumbrado público a todo lo que da y no se perturbo.Sin dudas se le puede sacar muchísimo más provecho con una cámara CMOS, montura ecuatorial y un lugar aislado de las ciudades, esos serán mis próximos pasos.Recomendado!

Enviaron rápido execelente estado

Hola a todos, recibí el telescopio vendido por Amazon ,en muy buen estado, como el cuidado que han tenido de traerlo de reino Unido sin arañazos y nada que se suele encontrar en un pedido de tantos km en tan perfectas condiciones. E leído las reseñas de muchos compradores como yo, y tenía mis dudas ,pero con la confianza de devolución en caso de venir mal,pues me decidí a comprarlo y muy contento con el producto,calidad celestron!!!Básicamente viene como si lo compraras en la misma tienda celestron ( bien colimado)y si, viene con 1 ocular pero no se acaba el mundo hay muchas variedades de oculares y estos son caretes ,pero es como todo en esta vida,se paga la calidad si vas a darle 1 uso frecuente,si no, hay más variedades de fabricantes.El telescopio de calidad ,la montura es perfecta para este tubo y la goto funciona perfectamente y si le sumas el módulo WiFi, mejor que mejor. Todo correcto y quien tenga duda,que no se lo piense.

El telescopio es una maravilla tecnológica, su sistema de alineación sky align es mágico, su óptica es genial… pero el primer día de uso el telescopio giró y dañó el módulo WiFi sky portal que compré aparte. No entiendo por qué Celestron coloca la conexión auxiliar en un lugar donde es ruta de paso del cuerpo del telescopio y obviamente el motor que tiene una gran fuerza no se detiene y daña lo que tengas conectado… cómo es posible que Celestron no considere esto en el diseño y ni siquiera haya una advertencia. No me duró ni una noche el módulo WiFi. Si compras este telescopio y tienes pensado instalarle el módulo WiFi sky portal tienes que comprar el cable divisor de puertos para que el módulo WiFi no quede cerca del radio de giro del telescopio.

El tripié es muy estable. La montura lo hace ideal para principiantes, ya que la configuración es muy sencilla y tiene una base de datos muy completa. Ideal para todos los niveles. Permite la observación y seguimiento de objetos planetarios y de espacio profundo (aunque no para fotografía de larga exposición, hay que adquirir una cuña por separado para configurarlo de manera ecuatorial). A mi parecer por el precio debería incluir el adaptador de corriente (ya que no viene incluido) y para usarlo sólo con sacarlo de la caja, es necesario colocarle 8 baterías AA (de buena calidad para que rindan una sesión de unas 4 o 5 horas). El Finder de punto rojo es muy práctico para alinear y encontrar "manualmente" objetos que se ven a simple vista. Viene con un solo ocular de 25mm, que da unos x81 aumentos y un campo de visión de unos 0°38' de arco.

The Amazon price was amazing and I'm not surprised it went up by almost $900, a day or two after I bought it. Delivery was quick in the US and slowed up a bit in Australia, but that's to be expected. We're still using camel trains to transport goods and most communication is done between two tin cans with a few hundred kilometres of string between them.The telescope was well packaged and took about 15 minutes to put together. One of the retaining screws for the Star Diagonal is missing but I'm pretty sure I can find something that will fit.I have only had a chance to test it terrestrially because of rain at night but I'm sure it will be fine.If Celestron and almost every other corporation on the planet didn't gouge Australians so badly on price I'd buy locally but it looks like Amazon is going to get more of my business.

La serie Nexstar SE ha sido reconocida por muchos años por su excelente relación calidad - precio, y el modelo 6SE no es la excepción. Los materiales de construcción son de la mejor calidad, y destaca la firmeza del tripe para mantener al tubo óptico con la menor vibración posible.La curva de aprendizaje es aceptable incluso para un principiante, sin embargo yo lo colocaría en una categoria intermedia. La ventaja en este sentido es que el 6SE es uno de los telescopios más usados, por tanto existe mucha información y experiencias compartidas en línea.La óptica Schmidt - Cassegrain lo hace un excelente telescopio para observaciones planetarias, lunares y solares (con el filtro apropiado). Sin embargo, también da resultados aceptables con objetos de espacio profundo brillantes y de tamaño angular pequeño (nebulosas planetarias, cúmulos globulares, y algunas galaxias).Finalmente el tamaño del tubo óptico es un excelente equilibrio entre apertura y potabilidad, ofreciendo una buena capacidad de acumulación de luz, sin incrementar demasiado el peso y volumen para transportarlo con facilidad.En pocas palabras, difícilmente te puedes arrepentir de invertir en este telescopio. Cielos despejados!

Where to start...first, I am so happy with this telescope! We transitioned from the Celestron 80MM Star Sense Explorer to this scope. Quite a jump, I know but so glad we did. So...it was a bit heavier than expected but manageable. I had to do a lot of reading and I am still learning about the "utilities" and settings and it definitely took some time to get used to. The manual is okay but you will find more on You tube and on the Celestron website for tutorials. Putting the scope together was simple enough. The red dot finder is not great, definitely need to upgrade that if you choose not to purchase the Star Sense Auto Align. More on that later. The 25 mm lens that comes with the scope is actually really good and we pair it with the Barlow lens. The scope arrived in great condition and was packaged nicely. The tripod is decent and easy to adjust. So back to the Auto Align. the first few times we took the scope out we attempted to use the 3-star alignment....never could get it to work correctly....having said that...we live in a light polluted area near Nashville so we expected some issues. After attempting this alignment several times we decided to purchase the Star Sense Auto Align...I know it is fairly pricey but wow, so glad we did!!! The Star Sense aligned the first time and has worked great each time (read my review on that one as well, hopefully it will help if you decide to purchase it). I had never seen the Orion Nebula before and my first early morning viewing was breathtaking! Views of Saturn, the Moon, and Jupiter are fantastic...you can see the Cassini division in Saturn's rings. Images are clear and detailed. The one thing that I was unaware of when purchasing this scope and only found out after watching some You Tube videos is that you have to upgrade the firmware on the mount....the joy of being a newbie! So things we purchased for this scope that may be of use for someone purchasing it:1. Celestron X-Cel 12 MM lens2. Celestron X-Cel 3x Barlow3. Celestron Oxygen iii Filter4. Baader UHC-S Nebula Filter5. Celestron Solar Filter (8" for the 8 SE)6. Celestron Lithium Power Tank 12 V (a must have or you will be replacing batteries every 30 minutes)7. Colored filters but mainly Red, Violet, Blue, and a Moon filter...haven't used the other colors yet. Orion has agreat set, although it is expensive.8. A carrying case- we travel a lot....Celestron has one for this tube size, otherwise use the boxes it came in- theywork just as great!9. A pelican case for your eyepieces and filters....we purchased one with pullouts and made our own...or you canbuy one from Celestron.10. And a must have for those living in the South or colder climates...a dew shield or heater!11. A red flash light or just use the red light on the Lithium Power tank.12. Last but not least....for newbies...there are several companion books you can purchase....The Backyard Astronomer's Guide, Night Watch, The Total Skywatcher's Manual, and National Geographic has some great books. We love locating things in the sky, then looking them up and reading about them. The books also contain great tips and suggestions from purchasing eyepieces to filters, and how to best view objects in the night sky.All of these items were purchased on Amazon and we bought them over time but each purchase has enhanced our viewing and really made our nights out so enjoyable.Pros: So many but to name a few...Great, clear images, mostly newbie friendly- just have to educate yourself on operating the telescope to get the most out of it, a lot of items available for purchase to upgrade your experience, and with the star sense auto align you can spend hours outside enjoying clear skies. Not to say most people cannot get the 3-star alignment, we just lost patience with it and purchased the auto align :-)Cons: Manual not so great...You Tube has great videos from knowledgeable enthusiasts, it seems a bit heavy but manageable for one person. My husband is always with me so portability isn't an issue but just going out alone it may be somewhat heavy.Overall, I am so happy with this purchase and would recommend it for anyone wanting to add a more advanced telescope to their collection. There are several tutorials available online at Celestron and via You Tube that I encourage you to view. The telescope can be a bit intimidating for those that are new to the hobby but with a little research you will be loving it! We take it out at least 3x per week (skies permitting). The most beautiful site seen was the other morning I went out at 5 am and viewed Venus...the moon, and Orion's Nebula...so clear and amazing...it was definitely a treasure trove that morning, spent about 90 minutes viewing the sky until the Sun started to come up...very peaceful! We are still learning this telescope and each thing we learn just enhances our experience. I was hesitant on this purchase at first...a lot of money to spend plus accessories but we are so glad we decided to buy it! Definitely do your research to determine which telescope is best for you and your goals but this is a great one for those just entering the hobby or graduating from a starter scope. Now if we could only afford to buy another one of these so my husband and I don't fight over viewing time!

Great telescope for a full year now. I brought the 5'' because it fits my budget and is much more portable than the 6" & 8".The telescope arrived in two boxes and was packaged well. It was quite easy to assemble and was straightforward. But the first night when I tested it the red dot finder failed and would not turn on. I contacted product support and they refunded the price of the red dot finder to let me buy another. I think this is reasonable.The telescope was of good quality and was fairly portable in two pieces. I also brought it with the Nex-yz adapter and eyepiece kit. In my opinion, I would not buy the phone adapter and eyepiece kit because I don't use the adapter and eyepiece often. You will pretty much only use the moon filter, 13, 17, and 32mm eyepieces. I also brought a generic LPR filter which helps somewhat in revealing dim objects and filtering out the light pollution.The goto function was really helpful in finding objects especially DSO's. I will use the auto 2 star alignment procedure and manual location settings.This scope was fine for starting astrophotography but exposures can only be limited to 30 seconds maximum. Even though there was a polar alignment option, it was really hard to do since I am living quite close to the equator in Hong Kong and the mount twists into a really weird position when tracking.In the first few months I viewed only from the city, which was a bortle 9 scale. The planets are easy to see, you can see the belts of Jupiter and its moons, and the rings of Saturn easily. If you want a telescope for ONLY the planets, I would recommend some of the scopes without go to like a dobsonian or maktusov because you will be able to see more detail with increased aperture. You don't need go-to because planets are really bright and sometimes the mount will go off track. The Orion Nebula can be seen though only the bright parts. The andromeda galaxy can NOT be seen at all in light polluted places.Later I was able to go out to a better spot ( bortle 5 ) and it was excellent, and I was able to see the double cluster, Orion Nebula and andromeda galaxy a lot better.I would recommend this scope to beginners and people starting astronomy. You can get good results in the middle of the city, but driving to a deep sky site really makes the view impressive. I will not recommend this for astrophotography but instead will recommend scopes with German equatorial mounts.* images are taken with A6000 camera with remote control.

This is my second scope. The first was a Bushnell 4.5 inch reflector of disputable quality. The mirror was good, but I had to replace the flimzy tripod and get better eyepieces to even attempt to see anything clearly. This telescope is superior a hundred fold . The image of jupiter, for instance, is crisp and clear with the included 25mm eyepiece, Seeing hasn't been very good here, in Quebec City, these last few days, but I was able to observe the king of planets with a 10mm eyepiece and enjoy details impossible to discern with my old reflector. Allignement of the go to is relatively simple. The hand controller has a red backlight to preserve night vision. However, with the backlight on during allignement, the scrolling of instructions on the hand controller display is unreadable. Tracking is good, but I have noticed that occasionaly, the scope seems to loose track of the object, which makes it necessary to use the hand controller to bring things back on track.One of the reasons I purchased this scope was because it can be easily transported and assembled. The tube need not be removed from the mount. It can be rotated vertically to align with the mount arm into a neat compact package easily storable in my OTA bag. The tripod is also compact and light. Contrary to other comments, I find the tripod and mount well built and sturdy enough for the nexstar. A question of opinion, I suppose.I purchased the 18774 power tank with this scope, which I think is essential. The tracking motor will eat through the required AA batteries in no time. I also burchased the AC adapter.There is only one 25mm eyepiece included with the scope. The purchase of a few more of different magnification, a barlow and a few filters such as a lunar filter is a good idea. However, the nexstar is highly usable with the included accessory.There are many resources on the web which are helpful in the use of this SCT. Michael Swanson's Nexstar site, for one, has a lot of good info, although some of it seems outdated. Youtube is also a good source of valuable information.Included in the box: Scope and tripod (obviously) , tripod accessory tray, level for the tripod, 25mm eyepiece, 1.25 inch Star diagonal, Starpointer finderscope, The Sky Level 1 Astronomy Software, NexRemote telescope control software, RS232 Cable (you'll need an RS232 to USB adapter for newer computers)The good:Crisp imageEasy assemblyEasily transportable and storableSturdy enough tripodEasy alignement with the hand controllerThe Bad:Scrolling text on the hand controller is unreadable when backlight is on.Tracking sometimes lost.To conclude, I have so far no regrets with my purchase. And although I have only a few hours of observations with the scope, I am quite satisfied. With mars and saturn soon to be in opposition, I believe the next few weeks will bring loads of astronomical fun.***After a couple months of use, I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience with this scope. I had mentionned in my initial review that the scrolling text on the hand controller (HC) was unreadable at night, with the red backlight on. As I navigated through the numerous menus on the HC, I realized that I could set the speed of the scrolling, which pretty well solved that problem. So scratch that from the "Bad".The gears in this scope produce some backlash. This problem is well documented on the web and must be taken into consideration when attempting to do a proper star alignement and expect the scope to center on planets. Without some ajustements in the settings of the HC, planets will never align properly in your eye piece once the star alignement has been performed. I've found some very helpful astronomy forums with valuable info regarding different settings to minimize the impact of this backlash. I've added a spotting scope which makes the optical tube back heavy. I had no idea that this could have an impact on the the alignement, but it does. Call that a newb's mistake, I suppose . All in all, my experience with this telescopes has greatly improved with the knowledge collected on the web. So, the second point on my "bad" list still applies, but it can be remedied. My allignements are still not perfect. I still have to test some settings, but I'm getting very close. It's only a matter of time.But all this does not minimize the fact that this great telescope has enabled me to observe the marvels of our solar system and beyond with a clarity that truly amazes me. It's easy to set up, light and transportable. A great buy for a beginner like myself, and certainly for more experienced amateur astronomers. And worthy of its fifth star.(PS. The celestron GPS for this scope is a very helpful addition, by the way.)
