User Friendly

The NexStar Evolution has been designed with the user in mind. Using years of customer feedback, Celestron has been able to incorporate many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you the best possible experience out under the stars.

Batteries ARE Included

The NexStar Evolution telescopes feature a built-in, ultra-long life battery so that you don’t have to rely on an external power supply. The lithium-iron phosphate battery provides up to 10 hours of use on a single charge and can even be used to charge your other devices via the USB charge port. There is even an intelligent power management system that senses when the battery levels are low and initiates a power-saving mode to that you can keep observing for as long as possible.

Easy Setup

The NexStar Evolution features large, ergonomic handles that aid in a quick and easy set-up so that you can be observing the heavens in no time. The all-metal tripod features a metal accessory tray with indentations for storing and carrying the tripod. There are also leg etchings to ensure you get a level, uniform height. You can manually point the scope when powered off thanks to manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth. The tripod features 2 accessory trays that allow you to store up to 7 eyepieces, one with an adjustable red LED illuminator.

Superior tracking

The NexStar Evolution is the only fork-mounted telescope, in its price range, to feature brass worm gears, along with improved motors. This ensures that the tracking accuracy is so good that you can capture images of deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula by simply attaching your DSLR camera.

Bright and Sharp Views

You can enjoy bright and sharp views every time thanks to the Schmidt-Cassegrain optical system with StarBright XLT optical coatings.

Other Features

The NexStar Evolution 5-inch SCT also features 4 auxiliary ports, a classic NexStar+ hand control, StarPointer finderscope, two 1.25” Plossl eyepieces, a 1.25” star diagonal, and an AC adapter.
