User Friendly
The NexStar Evolution has been designed with the user in mind. Using years of customer feedback, Celestron has been able to incorporate many thoughtful design features that combine to provide you the best possible experience out under the stars.
Batteries ARE Included
The NexStar Evolution telescopes feature a built-in, ultra-long life battery so that you don’t have to rely on an external power supply. The lithium-iron phosphate battery provides up to 10 hours of use on a single charge and can even be used to charge your other devices via the USB charge port. There is even an intelligent power management system that senses when the battery levels are low and initiates a power-saving modesto that you can keep observing for a s long as possible.
Easy Setup
The NexStar Evolution features large, ergonomic handles that aid in a quick and easy set up so that you can be observing the heavens in no time. The all-metal tripod features a metal accessory tray with indentations for storing and carrying the tripod. There are also leg etchings to ensure you get a level, uniform height. You can manually point the scope when powered off thanks to manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth. The tripod features 2 accessory trays that allows you to store up to 7 eyepieces, one with an adjustable red LED illuminator.
Superior tracking
The NexStar Evolution is the only fork-mounted telescope, in its price range, to feature brass worm gears, along with improved motors. This ensures that the tracking accuracy is so good that you can capture images of deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula by simply attaching your DSLR camera.

Solar Warning
- Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
- Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
- Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
