Beginners review of the Celestron Nexstar 4SE Computerised Telescope and why it's a good buy.

I was looking for one under £500, was compact, so I could easily transport it, as light as possible, facility to attach a camera, had a good specification and of course it provided the facility for the computer to seek out the planets and alike. I did my research and eventually decided the Celestron Nexstar 4SE was the one, and it has proved after 12 months of use to be a very good decision.

Celestron Starsense AutoAlign Review - automatic alignment for your telescope

Is this a must or not? For me, it is a must and the best piece of equipment I have invested in for my astronomy hobby. I would class myself as an advanced beginner who still has a lot to learn. I discovered the Celestron StarSense Auto Align, a Celestron accessory gadget that would help find what I wanted with the minimum set up, it was a dream come true.

Review, set-up, and using the Celestron Powerseeker 127AZ Astronomy Telescope Kit.

​You will need patience, but if you have that and time, it’s a lot of telescope for not a lot of money. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the telescope body is actually metal, not plastic. Though still lightweight, it does feel fairly robust.

How long does the battery charge in a Celestron PowerTank Lithium PRO last

A real world account of the Celestron PowerTank Lithium PRO (18768-CGL) .. I needed a longer lasting telescope power pack due to me doing solar day time and astronomy at night at a dark site where I can't charge anything as there is no mains supply .. It's a major upgrade on its little brother

How the Celestron Astromaster 114EQ got me started in Astrophotography

It all started when my partner bought me a Celestron Astromaster 114EQ telescope .. a reasonably affordable scope. It's a great starter telescope and I soon had it set up and started looking through the eyepieces. We were lucky to have some clear skies, and it was around the mid-summer that I caught my first ever real-time glimpse of Saturn
