Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain SC 152/1500 NexStar 6 SE GoTo Telescope
Celestron's Schmidt-Cassegrain optics:
Despite the long focal length of the Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, the tube has a very short design, making the system a compact telescope characterized by extremely light transport characteristics. The light strikes an aspherically shaped Schmidt correction plate and is then thrown onto the spherical main mirror. This reflects it in a secondary mirror, which returns it to the primary mirror. The light beam now passes through the main mirror, which has a central hole. In this way, the light is launched to the focuser located at the rear end of the tube. This means that the system is closed and does not suffer from air turbulence that could harm the image. Of course, this also provides optimal protection against dust. The Schmidt plate is multi-coated, ensuring bright, low-reflection images.

This optic offers a very good image, the contrast and sharpness are convincing and offer great fun, especially when observing the moon, planets or planetary nebulae. Overall, the Schmidt-Cassegrain system is a very good and robust all-round device for observation and photography. The sight at the lower end of the tube allows for easy orientation. The telescope can also be optimally used for occasional terrestrial observations (for example, at close range for bird watching). Celestron SC optics have an aperture ratio of f/10. An optional reducer can be used for astrophotography to make the optics "faster" and increase the field of view.
The main mirror focus ensures a very large focus area, making it possible to fit almost any accessory. Two preloaded ball bearings are used in the positioning mechanism to focus the main mirror to minimize "mirror drift" (a typical problem when using simple bearing shells). The use of high-quality materials, such as CNC-milled components from aluminium, cast steel and stainless steel, ensures high stability with little weight, so you don't need a very heavy mount, as may be required with other optical designs. .

The Celestron NexStar mount:
Finally, "Travel Pro", Celestron's first variable fork mount, with an integrated mount that can also be used without a tripod. The tube can be detached from the Celestron Travel Pro fork mount with a flick of the wrist. So you can take the lens with you on the plane as hand luggage and check the mount in a suitcase. Other telescopes can also be attached to the same fork mount for different tasks, for example a solar telescope or multiple cameras with different lenses, etc.
Go to control with "SkyAlign". Aligning a telescope has never been easier: no optical leveling, no grading, no compass, no pole star needed (balcony observatory). Simply enter the coordinates of the location and time, point to three stars whose names you don't even need to know, and press "Enter." The telescope already knows the sky above it and moves up to 40,000 programmed objects, as if guided by a magical hand.
Updatable handheld controller: Future-proof, thanks to Flash Eprom technology, the control software can be updated at any time via the Internet.
GPS module (optionally available): saves you having to enter the coordinates of the place and time. The GPS module receives this data directly from the GPS satellites and automatically reads it into the controller each time.
Remote control via PC: The supplied program "NexRemote" allows remote control of the telescope with any laptop / PC.
