Setting Up The Celestron Nexstar 5SE Goto Telescope 

the batteries can be a issue with the celestron se model the celestron evolution ALT AZ mount look very similar to the SE but comes with a internal battery that lasts the night easily it cost a little more but it well worth it I.M.O. you can even charge your phone or tablet from the mount .the alternate is to get a celestron power tank or contact O.P.T for other options as you will need power for heater strips/dew control to keep condensation free on the front lenz / corrector plate on a SCT scope.. thanks tony great video cheers james D

Love these 'hands on' videos - interesting and productive, thanks Tony :)

Thank you...watching these instructions while I wait for mine to arrive. Very helpful!

Now you are ready for the next star parties 👍

Thanks for the video. It should help beginners a lot.

Noice ! Really like the built-in equatorial wedge - could even do some short-exposure astrophotography, or webcam planetary imaging

Great videos man very informative

Awsome video. Where was this when I bought mine and didnt have a clue? Thanks again and keep up the great work

Great video, very useful - many thanks

Thank you for your video showing such a portable telescope even if you are an expert. I am thinking of acquiring it as a travel telescope. Congratulations

Super helpful. Thanks!

Very interesting. Thank you. I'm still debating which telescope to buy. Celestron Nexstar 5SE or Celestron Nextar 130SLT.

This is fantastic, thank you. Al London

Hello friend! How do I use the Nikon p1000 with my celestron nexstar 5se? Thank you for the great videos!

Nice tutorial!

Nice video. I learned a lot. I got got my 5SE yesterday. How can I align during the day for the up coming eclipse? I have a Spectrum solar glass filter for it. so no worries there.

Hi sir I have a celestron 4SE but it is not moving side ways . Motors are making good noise but rotation to sideways is nil. Plz help

Do you ever record your observations ?

still have a problem with my telescope. star sense aligns. yet i can not see anything . i wonder if its the silver stick with numbers? i am in nyc.

At the 3:43 mark of the video you rotated the telescope by hand. Is this OK on this model? I had a Meade that couldn't be moved with out loosening a knob to release the motor and gears. I am learning my new Celestron.

I am trying to assemble the accessory tray, but the center rod is too short to accommodate the spring and knob. Any idea?

Use rechargable Nimh batteries or a Lipo power pack instead of alkalines. They last a lot longer! I have an older version of that scope.

I purchase that same telescope, but the tray spring and knob don't fit in the center thread. What that can be?

Is this worth buying if you live 5 miles from Orlando?

I have the star sense camera. I aligned my telescope. I have problem. I cant see anything in the viewfinder. Cover is off. Can any1 help? Yes its calibrated. I dont see no light from viewfinder.

How easy is it to transport?

I mistakenly selected italian as my language and now I can't see how to change it. what should I do?

Is there a telescope I could setup in my terrace and command it from the comfort of my bed using my iPad? Thanks for the great video. Signed: couch potato! ;-)

How many objects are pre stored?

And shortly after this video.... Red bull literally gave him wings. Slow down partner

Are you suppose to remove the round mirror on the telescope. I cant see anything. I kniwvi remove the cover but am i suppose to remove the round small piece ?

Is it heavy?

After I align mine (regardless of method), when I select an object to "GO-TO" all it does is start to spin non-stop on it's alt-axis until I kill the power. I have a good PSU. I tried batteries. Nothing I do fixes this. Any ideas of the problem?
