Featuring Schmidt-Cassegrain optics, the Celestron NexStar 5 SE is an ideal telescope for observing and photographing celestial or terrestrial subjects. With a weight of just 27.6 lb (2.5 kg) including the tripod, the portable 5 SE features a precision optical system with 1250 mm focal length at ƒ10, and has a 56% greater light gathering ability than an equivalent 4" model.
