The Celestron Nexstar 4SE Maksutov Cassegrain Computerised Telescope takes you on a journey to the stars.

Advanced features and excellent optics in one easy-to-use system make the NexStar 4SE the perfect choice for your first serious telescope, offering striking views at an economical price.

See Deep Into Space
The 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 Mount
The unique, patented single fork arm mount is 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 favourite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard. 

Track Your Targets
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 favourite 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. 

Easy Alignments
Aligning your telescope is simple and painless, too, thanks to SkyAlign. This process makes alignment as easy as 1-2-3: just centre 3 bright objects in your eyepiece and press ALIGN. For even easier alignment, attach our StarSense AutoAlign and your NexStar SE aligns itself!

Fast Setup with SkyAlign

Easy as 1-2-3! Follow the on- screen instructions and NexStar SE will calculate what you are looking at. The telescope is then ready to locate and track thousands of stars, galaxies, and more. Not sure what to look at - select from SkyTour recommendations!

Astroimaging Made Easy

Using simple, inexpensive adapters (not included), connect your DSLR or astronomical camera to capture images of celestial objects. Use the built-in wedge on the 4SE to polar align NexStar SE for even more accurate long exposures. The internal flip mirror on the 4SE allows an eyepiece and camera to be used at the same time.

Maksutov-Cassegrain Optics

The 102mm primary mirror and 1325mm focal length offer powerful light gathering and magnification ability to see the best of the solar system & beyond. Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s cloud bands, details on the Moon & brighter deep sky objects are all accessible. Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes are often dubbed "planet hunters" due to their large focal length.
