Key Features
- 102mm Maksutov-Cassegrain Telescope
- 1325mm Focal Length, f/13 Focal Ratio
- StarBright XLT Optical Coating System
- NexStar+ Computer Hand Controller
Celestron's NexStar 4SE 125mm f/13 Maksutov-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope is a powerful, versatile, and user-friendly catadioptric-style scope that can be used for observing everything from the moon and planets to bright deep-sky objects like stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Using Celestron's proprietary StarBright XLT multicoating system, light transmission is increased throughout the entire optical path with anti-reflection multicoated lenses, highly reflective multicoated mirrors, and crown optical glass elements. Similar to their Schmidt cousins, the Maksutov design exchanges the conventional front corrector plate with a convex meniscus lens, which results in a smaller secondary mirror—limiting obstruction and increasing contrast, while eliminating the need for periodic collimation. While the focal ratio is a relatively slow f/13, the scope's optical performance, added to the mount's precision tracking system and integrated equatorial wedge, allows it to be a competent astrophotography/imaging platform for the moon and planets.

Does this work natively with the app to locate planets, etc., or do I need to purchase the WiFi adapter?
The dual servo motors on the mount is the brain of the NexStar 4SE: the iconic NexStar+ computer hand controller. Packed with 40,000+ celestial objects, it can hold up to 100 additional user-defined destinations and is updatable via the Celestron website. It has multiple alignment procedures to get you observing fast—including the super-easy SkyAlign system. Capable of being used in the Northern or Southern Hemispheres, the NexStar has sidereal, lunar, and solar tracking speeds to accurately follow near- and deep-sky objects, plus nine slew speeds. Nothing extra is needed to accomplish this.

Hi, i cannot seems to see what is the magnification of this 4SEunit?
The NexStar 4SE comes with a 25mm eyepiece. The focal length of the NexStar 4SE is 1325mm. 1325mm divided by 25mm equals 53x magnification. You can use higher magnification eyepieces such as a 20mm, 15mm, or a 10mm as long as the seeing condition (atmosphere) is calm and steady. The highest useful magnification is 241x. Any magnifications above that limit will overpower the telescope's capabilities and may result in blurry images. Hope this helps!

question
I have the NexStar 4 se telescope now how do I take photos of the Moon and stars with a Nikon camera through that small eyepiece ? I have a T ring adapter model # 93625 for a Nikon camera it fits in the top eyepiece but how do I use my 25mm plossl and other focal length eyepieces to take close up photos of the moon ?
So you would not be able to use the T-Adapter with eyepieces. However we do sell the Celestron SLR Camera Adapter with Integral 2x Barlow Lens. Which would give you some more magnification if you needed. Then you can get the T-Ring that you need to attach your Nikon DSLR. You can do the Vello Lens Mount Adapter - T Mount Lens to Nikon F Mount Camera, which will work with the adapter you have now. As well as the 2X Barlow Lens Camera Adapter.

question
Does this model track the moon? I want to be able to take HDR photos and Time Lapse of the moon.
This telescope (after doing a setup procedure) will target the moon and track it for about 30 seconds.

question
What is the aperture of this model?
To my knowledge, telescope apertures are simply the diameter of either the objective lens of a refractor or objective mirror of a reflector. That being said, the NexStar 4 SE has a 4 (102mm) mirror and therefore a 4 aperture.
