Celestron NexStar 6SE

It’s not often that we come across a telescope that’s an ‘all-rounder’, but we were quite taken with the Celestron NexStar 6SE, especially since it can be used by both beginners and astronomers who have a good night-sky knowledge. It’s also quite difficult to outgrow this telescope given what it can offer and how easy it is to accessorise with extra eyepieces and other kit. The 25mm Plössl eyepiece supplied gives a magnification of 60x, but we’d advise purchasing a selection of eyepieces and filters – bearing in mind that the highest useful magnification is 354x –
