Quantity
This offering includes the Nexstar 4SE telescope, the #94303 eyepiece and filter kit, 7 Ah Power Tank and a red LED night vision flashlight. The Celestron NexStar 4SE combines extreme portability and tack sharp Maksutov-Cassegrain optics with the convenience of Celestron's NexStar computer go-to system. This is an ideal telescope for beginners who are primarily interested in the moon, planets, and brighter deep space objects, or for urban dwellers who are limited to these objects by local light pollution conditions. We find the Maksutov-Cassegrain optics of the NexStar 4SE to be preferable to Schmidt-Cassegrains when viewing the moon and planets because they offer higher contrast.

Celestron NexStar 4SE: Excellent for Beginning Lunar / Planetary Observers

Let a Celestron NextStar 4SE help you find the moon, planets, thousands of stars, and even galaxies and nebulae at the touch of a button! In the tradition of Celestron's famous orange optical tubes, the NexStar 4SE combines the classic heritage of the original orange tube telescopes with state-of-the-art features including a fully computerized operating system, flash upgradeable software, superior coatings, and Celestron's revolutionary SkyAlign telescope alignment software. SkyAlign is arguably one of the fastest and easiest go-to alignment methods available.

Once the NexStar 4SE is aligned, you are in the driver's seat. Simply choose an object from the menu and the telescope will find it for you. Using Celestron's patented NexStar technology, the SE scopes have the ability to locate nearly 40,000 objects. All you have to do is look through the eyepiece and enjoy the view!

But what if you are a beginner and don't know what object to choose? Not to worry - let the intelligent NexStar 4SE give you a guided tour of the night sky! The "Tour" feature offers a customized list of the best objects in the sky to view based upon the time, date and your location. Not only can your NexStar 4SE find objects, it can teach you about them as well. Information on the most popular objects can be viewed on the LCD screen of the keypad. (Note: Celestron literature refers to the keypad as a "hand control.") Whether you are a seasoned astronomer looking for a portable scope with advanced features, or just starting your astronomy adventure and looking for an easy way to enjoy the night sky, a NexStar 4SE will help you take a closer look.

Celestron's Revolutionary SkyAlign

Using Celestron's patented SkyAlign, simply input the date and time, pick the nearest city to your location, then point the telescope at any three bright celestial objects. The on board NexStar computer does the rest, triangulating those three stars and mapping out a model of the night sky. You do not need to know the names of the alignment objects, and you can even pick the moon or bright planets. SkyAlign is fast, accurate, and above all, easy to use.

Get started with a complete set of eyepieces!

The Celestron 1-1/4 inch eyepiece and filter kit includes five Plossl eyepieces and seven lunar / planetary filters. This is an ideal accessory for many beginner telescopes with up to 1200mm focal length. The 6mm eyepiece included with this kit may or may not be useful for telescopes with longer focal lengths, depending upon your local observing conditions. Kits such as these are an economical way to discover what your telescope is capable of before investing in premium eyepieces.

The Celestron Eyepiece and Filter Kit includes seven lunar/planetary filters in 1-1/4" format, a 1-1/4" 2X barlow lens, and five Plossl eyepieces:

  • 6mm
  • 8mm
  • 13mm
  • 17mm
  • 32mm

This kit is packaged in a handsome aluminum case. This is set covers the entire useful range of magnifications for this telescope.

Now you can take your telescope anywhere with this portable rechargeable power supply. This device will supply power to your NexStar 4SE for a full weekend of camping and observing from a remote dark site, or in you own back yard. It is far more cost effective than using the internal AA battery tray, and far more flexible than being tethered to an AC outlet.

  • 7-amp hour
  • Two 12V output cigarette lighter ports
  • Built-in (2) USB ports for charging portable devices
  • Built-in flashlight with red filter cap
  • Energy efficient LED spotlight

  • Built-in Circuit Breaker for safety
  • Cigarette lighter to telescope adapter included
  • 110 V/220 V switchable universal AC charger included

Preserve your night vision with a red LED flashlight

An important accessory for anyone getting into astronomy is the 93588 Night Vision red flashlight! Did you know that when your eyes are dark adapted, using a red light will help to illuminate your charts, accessory case, etc, without losing your eyes dark adaption? Don't be the person who shows up at an astronomy event with a standard white flashlight; this is not a way to make friends in this hobby!
