Celestron's computer-controlled telescopes reach the next level with the NexStar Evolution: the first Schmidt-Cassegrains with built-in WiFi. You no longer need a hand controller - point the telescope at the most beautiful celestial objects with a click on your smartphone or tablet.

Connect your mobile device to the wireless network of your NexStar Evolution telescope and explore the universe with the Celestron app for iOS and Android.

The planetarium program on your smartphone shows you the current sky view or a list of observation targets for your location. The easy-to-use SkyAlign is integrated into the Celestron app, so you can set up the telescope and adjust the three reference stars in just a few minutes.

Simple and convenient operation:
The NexStar Evolution telescopes have been developed based on customer feedback from the past few years. They offer many well thought-out details so that you can enjoy the most beautiful night possible under the starry sky. 

No more worrying about batteries or an external power supply. The NexStar Evolution is the first amateur telescope to have a built-in lithium iron phosphate battery. One charge lasts up to ten hours. You can even use the Evolution's USB port to power other devices you want to use at night.

The NexStar Evolution is easy to set up thanks to the large, ergonomic handles. The steel tripod has markings so you can easily extend all legs to the same length. The azimuth and elevation clamps allow you to point the telescope at a target even without power. Up to seven eyepieces can be stored in two storage compartments - one even has a dimmable red LED light.

More power and safety thanks to lithium iron phosphate battery:
Instead of a typical lithium polymer battery, a lithium iron phosphate battery is used in the Evolution telescopes. These LiFePO 4 batteries have several advantages over simple LiPo batteries:

High safety & Reliability:

  • Unlike LiPo batteries, LiFePO 4 batteries cannot explode or ignite, but are considered intrinsically safe. The improved power density ensures a high load capacity even with continuous current consumption.
  • Long service life and cycle stability.
  • Wide temperature range for storage and operation
  • Low self-discharge
  • Excellent tracking accuracy, suitable for astrophotography

If you're interested in astrophotography, a NexStar Evolution is an excellent and affordable way to get started. It's the only fork-mounted telescope series in this price range with worm gears, along with improved motors. Planetary photography with a DSLR or a planetary camera is also no problem at all, and with a polar wedge you can also set it up equatorially to take long exposure deep sky images, be it with a DSLR or an Astro Camera.

The Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes with the StarBright XLT coating deliver bright, sharp images and are just as interesting for visual observers as they are for astrophotographers.

The NexStar Evolution telescopes come with a StarPointer finder scope, two 1.25” Plössl eyepieces, a star diagonal, power supply and a hand controller.
