This telescope is perfect for those getting into the hobby or upgrading from a manual mounted scope. The 5 inch aperture is plenty for solar system and some DSO viewing. The GoTo system is easy to align. And as an extra bonus it works great for terrestrial use. Dont spend the extra money on a 6 or 8 inch on a Alt Az mount. They are not great for astro-photography. Buy this slightly smaller 5SE and buy a larger Equitorial mount later on.

This is my second SE series scope. I recently had to sell my 8SE as it was getting to much for my 89 year old back. I bought the 5SE since it was a lighter version of the 8". So far it has achieved all of my expectations. A great scope.

Promptly shipped and well packaged. Worked right out of the box. Software was already updated. First night out, the scope located 5 Messier objects after a 5 minute alignment. Image was very good, flat field, , reasonable magnification and resolution. This scope will travel well, which is why I bought it.

The Celestron NexStar 5SE is maybe the best all arouund telescope in the SE line up. It has plenty of light grabbing ability, light weight enought to travel with and is very easy to use. My friends love it. I love it! My 8 SE is left in the corner a hold lot more now.
Easy to use. Great optics. Finder system is accurate.
