Introducing the NexStar Evolution, a groundbreaking Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope that seamlessly integrates advanced technology with user-friendly features. Say goodbye to traditional hand controls as you embark on a celestial journey with just a tap on your smartphone or tablet, thanks to the integrated WiFi functionality.
The most user-friendly telescope ever
Connect effortlessly to NexStar Evolution's built-in wireless network and immerse yourself in the universe using the Celestron mobile app, compatible with both iOS and Android devices. The planetarium interface allows real-time observation of the night sky or provides a curated list of currently visible celestial objects based on your specific time and location. Experience quick and easy setup with the Celestron mobile app's SkyAlign alignment procedure, ensuring you're ready for observation within minutes.
Designed based on valuable customer feedback, NexStar Evolution stands out as the most user-friendly telescope. Bid farewell to the hassle of batteries, as it comes equipped with its own built-in ultra-long life lithium-iron phosphate battery, offering up to 10 hours of uninterrupted stargazing on a single charge. Additionally, the telescope features a USB charge port for conveniently powering other devices during your observing sessions.
Setting up NexStar Evolution is a breeze with large, ergonomic handles, while the all-metal tripod includes a convenient accessory tray for storing and carrying essentials. Leg etchings and manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth enhance flexibility during setup and manual adjustments.
Superior tracking fit for astroimaging
Ideal for astroimaging enthusiasts, the 6-inch NexStar Evolution provides an affordable entry point with superior tracking capabilities. Featuring brass worm gears and improved motors, this telescope allows for impressive tracking accuracy, enabling the capture of stunning images of deep-sky objects with a DSLR camera. For advanced astroimaging, consider adding the HD Pro Wedge to achieve longer exposures for detailed astrophotos (compatible with CPC tripod, sold separately).
The Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system ensures bright, sharp views with StarBright XLT optical coatings, catering to both visual observers and budding astroimagers. With four auxiliary ports (2 on top, 2 on the bottom), a NexStar+ hand control, StarPointer finderscope, two 1.25” Plossl eyepieces, a 1.25” star diagonal, and an AC adapter included, NexStar Evolution is your gateway to an unparalleled celestial experience. Explore the cosmos effortlessly with this SEO-optimized, technologically advanced telescope.
