Description

Celestron's signature telescopes reach a new level with NexStar Evolution 6, the first Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope with integrated WiFi. Leave your hand control behind and slew to 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 SkyAlign alignment procedure is built right into the Celestron mobile app, so you're ready to observe within minutes.Celestron engineers designed NexStar Evolution based on years of customer feedback. It offers many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you the best 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 battery. With this ultra-long life lithium-ion phosphate 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. An intelligent power management system senses when battery levels are low and goes into power- saving mode to keep your telescope running for as long as possible.Setting up your NexStar Evolution is quick and painless with large, ergonomic handles. The all-metal tripod features a metal accessory tray with indentations for storing and carrying the tripod. During setup, leg etchings 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.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 in its price range that offers brass 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.Of course, the Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system offers bright, sharp views with StarBright XLT optical coatings-a great choice for visual observers and budding astroimagers alike.NexStar Evolution is equipped with 4 auxiliary ports--2 on top of the fork and 2 on the bottom. A classic NexStar+ hand control is included, but is not necessary when using NexStar Evolution with the mobile app. The telescope also includes a StarPointer finderscope, two 1.25" Plossl eyepieces, a 1.25" star diagonal, and an AC adapter.

So far I’m happy with my purchase. I really like the evolution mount. The 6 inch Schmidt- Cassegrain is a good size for me. I have an older C8 on an AVX equatorial mount. So I wanted something close to that size but more portable with the built-in Wi-Fi and the battery. I used this set up a handful of times and it’s been good. I’m in an astronomy club and do public outreach so this is something that I can use for that. It’s quick and easy to set up. It limits my amount of gear I have to haul around. It’s perfect for my needs.. I really like the way the scope stays attached to the mount for storage. It stores in the original foam that came with the box. I put the whole thing into a heavy duty tote. The views through the scope are really good. It does come with an inch and a quarter diagonal and inch quarter eye pieces . these are pretty basic and OK but,I like to use 2 inch pieces so I upgraded to a 2 inch diagonal so I can use my Televue 2 inch eye pieces. i’m able to use the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and use my iPad mini to locate objects and move the scope. It does come with an included hand controller, which works fine, but being able to use a handheld device was one of the main reasons I wanted the evolution mount. The shipping was fast. Everything was all packed up in the one box and arrived in good condition. ... show more

    • Great telescope.
Style: 6 Telescope
Initially, the hand controller failed and I sent it back to Celestron for reprogramming after we couldn't get it fixed by phone and email communication. It works fine now. The Celestron folks were very helpful. I mostly control the telescope during observing via the WiFi connection using a Samsung Tab 2 WiFi with Android 4.2.2 and Celestron's free SkyPortal software. I love it. After orienting with three stars using the SkyAlign capability that doesn't require entering the names of the three stars, I can point to whatever I designate with the SkyPortal software. I can actually designate from the Tab 2 touch screen instead of a name list so I can easily point to what is in my available sky (tree obscuration). It is very easy and sure beats the old way of doing a contortion act to align to stars through a sighting device. And it is now possible to point directly towards dim objects that you can't pick out with the naked eye and observe them. There are no manual veneer controls for steering the telescope, it is all via the motors. The Az-El clutch knobs are useful for storing the telescope and initial setup. With the internal rechargeable battery, there is no problem with limited battery life. I am very pleased. Since this is a Schmidt-cassegrain telescope with glass at the front end, I bought a lens shade to protect from dew. That has worked well. ... show more

    • Giving this one star for right now. Hoping Celestron's customer service can help raise it...
Style: 6 Telescope
Bad omen.... Not more than two days into using this telescope and the azimuth motor on the base dies... I've already sent a technical support request to Celestron with all the necessary details. Here's to hoping that company can redeem itself or else this entire rig will need to be returned to Amazon. I really don't need something like this to take place. I've just landed a new job so I'm already apprehensive enough and now, this happens. As if I don't have enough to worry about. ... show more

    • The 2 star align sucks.
Style: 6 Telescope
I live near Houston. I set the location and date/time for the mount. I then center 2 bright stars in the eyepiece to setup the goto features and the telescope repeatedly "fails" the location/triangulation for the goto meaning, it can't/won't goto anything. The view through the 6" telescope is very nice and clear. ... show more

Purchased this scope this past month and I love it now that I ditched the red-dot finder scope it came with. Truly, it was a frustrating experience. I bought a Telrad and it is so easy! I spent 45 minutes out in the cold trying to align my star-finder scope (red dot) with no luck. Honestly after that experience I was ready to send the entire thing back after spending that much money. Fortunately I decided to stick with it and I got the Telrad. No comparison. Telrad was quick and easy. It looks like a bullseye with several concentric rings, and you simply look through it and place the item you want to view in the center of the bullseye, no more messing with a blurry dot and straining my neck trying to get the right angle and having no idea if I'm even looking at the correct angle. Do yourself a huge favor and pay a few extra bucks and order a Telrad. Seriously Celestron, your red dot finder is a terrible tool! Otherwise I love the technology and quality of my Evolution 6. Especially viewing the moon! What detail! ... show more

Quick easy set up. Awesome scope to have. Pove that I can control it from my phone. Really enjoy all the additional information. Provided about what you are observing. I also subscribed to time and date.com where I can tell exactly what time nd day to observe which planets. Over all Good buy !

This is a beautiful addition to a family household of for people who are clueless about telescope operation. This fully motorized thing will find the stars, planets, systems for you, and then its apps (for phones, tablets) give you spoken details, diagrams and pictures about what you are seeing. The manufacturer, Celestron, are super helpful regarding parts, operation etc. Seems like they're all wide eyed enthusiasts at the company. A total joy. Don't skimp, get this one. ... show more

I bought a used telescope Celestron NexStar Evolution 6 from Amazon Warehouse, but the telescope Tube mirror is broken and had to return it right away. However, I had to pay the return fee, around 35$ Amazon should check the quality before delivery to customers.
