Leave your hand control behind and hone in on all the best celestial objects with a tap of your smartphone or tablet. Connect your device to NeXStar Evolution's built-in wireless network, and explore the universe with the Celestron mobile app for iOS and Android. Use the planetarium interface to view the night sky in real time or display a list of celestial objects currently visible based on your time and location. Our proprietary Sky Align alignment procedure is built right into the Celestron mobile app, so you're ready to observe within minutes.

User Friendly

Celestron engineers designed NeXStar Evolution based on years of customer feedback. It offers many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you thebest possible experience out under the stars. Forget about batteries or an external power supply. For the first time ever on a consumer telescope, NeXStar Evolution includes its own built-in lithium-ion battery. You'll be able to enjoy stargazing marathons up to 10 hours on a single charge. You can even use NeXStar Evolution's USB charge port to top off the other devices in your life that need to stay powered on during an observing session.

Easy Setup

Setting up your NeXStar Evolution is quick and painless with large, ergonomic handles. The steel tripod features leg etchings to help you achieve a level, uniform height for your telescope. Manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth offer greater flexibility to manually point the telescope when powered off. Store up to 7 eyepieces in 2 accessory trays, one with an adjustable red LED illuminator.

Superior Tracking

If you're interested in astroimaging, the 6-inch NeXStar Evolution is an excellent, affordable way to get started. It's the only fork-mounted telescope inits price range that offers worm gears, along with improved motors. NeXStar Evolution's tracking accuracy is so impressive, you can capture images of deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula by simply attaching your DSLR camera. As you progress in the hobby of astroimaging, you can add our Pro HD Wedge to achieve longer exposures for more detailed astrophotos.

NexStar Case

Designed for quality and convenience, the NexStar case has a hard outer frame and a dense interior that allows you to deepen your astronomical study with the use of an optical tube assembly while never having to worry about your equipment being dropped or otherwise damaged.

Celestron Tripod

The Celestron heavy duty tripod is a state-of-the-art tripod; it has fully adjustable legs with metal clamps for solid height adjustment. The tripod has an adjustable height of up to 55" with dual leg support and an upper leg brace and 2.75" stainless steel legs. The tripod's folding center brace stays attached to the captive leg strap which results in easier transportation.
