Celestron NexStar Evolution


Celestron NexStar Evolution
Celestron Nexstar Evolution Series Telescopes represent a step up from the ever popular NexStar SE series. The mount is more substantial than that found on the SE Series, which provides greater image stability at high magnification. Another feature that sets these telescopes apart from the NexStar SE series is the inclusion of clutches on both the altitude and azimuth axis, allowing you to quickly aim the telescope by hand for terrestrial observing.

The Evolution Series mount incorporates a built in WiFi interface. A free app from Celestron allows you to control the telescope using you Android or iOS mobile deice. They also include an internal, rechargeable lithium ion battery that has ample capacity for an entire observing session. You may still need a separate power source for other accessories, dew heaters in particular, we still find this to be a convenient feature that we wouldn't mind seeing on more telescopes.

NexStar Evolution series telescopes are available with 6, 8, and 9-1/4 inch optical tubes, including a choice of standard SCT or EdgeHD optics on the 8-inch variants. The 16 pound fork arm mount is common to all models, but the 9-1/4 inch model includes a much heavier tripod than the smaller models.

Celestron Nexstar Evolution Telescopes

The Celestron Nexstar Evolution Series is Celestron’s latest and greatest creation, incorporating top-of-the-line technology to produce a telescope that’s as user-friendly as possible. The Celestron NexStar Evolution series is the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope series with integrated WiFi, so you can control your telescope using your smartphone.

NexStar Celestron Telescope Features

Celestron telescopes reach a new level with the NexStar Evolution Series, designed based on years of customer feedback. The Evolution series offers many design features, which include:

  • Internal Lithium Ion Battery:  A rechargeable internal lithim ion battery allows you up to ten hours of continuous use without the need for a power cord or external field battery.
  • WiFi: Possibly the most discussed feature of the Evolution series is the incorporation of WiFi. Connect your device and telescope to a wireless network and operate the product using the Celestron mobile app for iOS and Android.
  • SkyPortal: The Celestron SkyPortal app allows the user to control their telescope directly from their iOS or Android phone, slewing it to major celestial objects with a simple tap of the screen. The app uses a planetarium interface that provides real-time displays of celestial objects visible in the night sky at the time of viewing. The app even offers educational information on celestial objects, including history and science information.
  • SkyAlign: Celestron’s proprietary SkyAlign alignment procedure is built directly into the Celestron mobile app, allowing the user to calibrate their NexStar Celestron telescope as quickly as possible. All the user needs to do is enter the date, time and general location into the keypad and point the telescope at any three bright celestial objects. The SkyAlign system does the rest, using the objects to triangulate the user’s location and calibrate the system from there. In all, the SkyAlign system allows the user to cut calibration time to under two minutes with ease and accuracy.
  • Evolution Mount: The NexStar Evolution mount is a computerized mount with manual clutches, allowing the telescope to be handled without being powered. The mount also features eyepiece storage areas and a lithium-ion battery for long-lasting power.
