Key Features
- 150mm Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope
- 1500mm Focal Length, f/10 Focal Ratio
- StarBright XLT Optical Coating System
- Single-Fork Motorized GoTo Alt-Az Mount
Celestron's NexStar 6SE 150mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope is a powerful, portable, and user-friendly Schmidt-Cassegrain-style scope that can be used for observing everything from the Moon and planets to deep-sky objects like stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Using Celestron's proprietary StarBright XLT multi-coating system, light transmission is increased throughout the entire optical path with anti-reflection multi-coated lenses, highly reflective multi-coated mirrors, and crown optical glass elements. While the focal ratio is a relatively slow f/10, the mount's precision tracking system allows it to be a competent shorter-exposure astrophotography imaging platform for the Moon and planets.

Video mentions DSLR's. Have Canon R5 would I be able to mount it on NexStar 6SE & will it find planets and Stars w/mounted?
To attach the R5 to the Celestron 6se telescope you would need these 2 parts: https://bhpho.to/42P7TM8 and https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1494990-REG/vivitar_hf_t2_eos_r_t_mount_to_canon_rf_mount.html. And yes the Go-to system will still work when a camera is attached.

can this zoom in on closer objects, such as jets or ufo's?
The Celestron NexStar 6SE 150mm f/10 Schmidt-Cassegrain GoTo Telescope can focus as close as 20 feet away from the telescope so if can be used to view closer objects such as airplanes. However, a spotting scope would be better suited for such activities. Spotting scopes are lighter and used on standard tripods with faster movement.

I have seen these scopes SE 8 that a user could put in RA and Dec coordinates to go directly to a desired object. Is that still the case?
Yes, you can manually enter the celestial coordinates in "Goto RA/Dec in the hand control and hit enter. The telescope will slew to the object.

Has anyone purchased the square trade protection plan for their telescopes? If so do you recommend it?
The Celestron 6se telescope comes with a 2 year warranty from Celestron. However, Celestron will not cover damage done to the telescope caused by tripping over the tripod in the dark or other types of accidental damage. Square Trade will cover those types of accidents and if they cannot repair it, they would send you a check for the original purchase price.

there are some lights on the street will this work?
The NexStar 6SE will easily show the moon and brighter planets in city light pollution. For deep-sky objects such as galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, etc, the darker the sky the better the views. There are light pollution filters available that can improve telescope viewing from the city.
