The tabletop base is compact, lightweight, and easy to transport, making it perfect for travel. The base’s low-profile makes accessing the eyepiece easier for some observers (especially children). You can also place the base on a stable platform, like a table or hood of a car to raise it to a comfortable viewing height. Consider adding the optional tripod for even more viewing options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeflon bearings provide smooth motion in both altitude and azimuth. The integrated altitude \"brake\" system allows you to adjust the tension along the altitude axis to ensure the smoothest motion even with slight imbalances.

Our founder, Tom Johnson, invented Celestron’s proprietary method of producing Schmidt corrector plates for superior views and maximum portability. Johnson believed in creating high-quality optical instruments at an affordable price, and inspired a generation of amateur astronomers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour decades later, we’ve improved upon this design by adding cutting-edge features, while staying true to our founder’s intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the Universe’s Most Impressive Celestial Objects\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 5SE’s five-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.

That’s why Celestron’s engineers created NexStar SE’s unique, patented single fork arm mount. It’s 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 favorite observing site, or setting it up quickly in your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it’s what’s inside the mount that really counts.

This easy-to-install RA motor drive compensates for the Earth’s rotation, so the telescope tracks a star’s movement through the night sky from east to west.  When the telescope mount is properly polar aligned and the RA drive is attached and running, the user need only make occasional adjustments in declination (Dec) to keep an object in the eyepiece for long periods of time.  The Celestron single-axis motor drive runs on a 9V battery, so there are no cords to get in the way.  The drive can be used in either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.  To change hemispheres (reverse the motor’s direction), simply by flip the N\/S switch on the face of the motor drive.  It is also simple to change the speed of the motor.  A “Speed Rate Regulator” knob is located just under the power indicator and can be turned in either direction to slow down or speed up the motor.  Since solar system objects like the Moon and planets move through the sky at different rates than deep-sky objects do, this gives you the ability to match the motor’s speed to the particular type of object you are observing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1935\/4371\/files\/astromaster_130_90_motordrive_large.gif?v=1505422267\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStarry Night Software\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload Celestron’s Starry Night Software and learn about the night sky, celestial objects, and how to plan your next observing session.
