It's easy to use but a little time-consuming to set up for use, definitely worth the time. Review: Our thirteen year old loves it. Easy to assemble and easy to use. - We purchased this for our 13 year old son who is a fanatic when it comes to astronomy. The owners guide is good but there's nothing like experience. Putting the unit together out of the box was easy and straight forward. It will take two (2) people to assemble (to make sure you don't drop anything). I was nervous as I've never put a telescope together but it was unfounded. The packaging was excellent with everything protected. Shipping was quicker than described. We've found that you'll go through a ton of batteries as the motor assembly requires six AA and they don't last long. I highly recommend rechargeable batteries. On a side note I've used desertcart rechargeable batteries for a long time and really like them. We're now at the stage where we'll be attending local astronomy groups who can help us better understand how and when to use the different color lenses. Good product. ## Features - Bundle Includes: Celestron NexStar 8SE Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope and Telescope Eyepiece/Filter Accessory Kit - Better Stargazing: The NexStar 8SE Telescope features a full 8-inch aperture to reveal spectacular view in even the faintest celestial objects.

It's easy to use but a little time-consuming to set up for use, definitely worth the time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our thirteen year old loves it. Easy to assemble and easy to use. *by O***Z on December 26, 2015* We purchased this for our 13 year old son who is a fanatic when it comes to astronomy. The owners guide is good but there's nothing like experience. Putting the unit together out of the box was easy and straight forward. It will take two (2) people to assemble (to make sure you don't drop anything). I was nervous as I've never put a telescope together but it was unfounded. The packaging was excellent with everything protected. Shipping was quicker than described. We've found that you'll go through a ton of batteries as the motor assembly requires six AA and they don't last long. I highly recommend rechargeable batteries. On a side note I've used amazon rechargeable batteries for a long time and really like them. We're now at the stage where we'll be attending local astronomy groups who can help us better understand how and when to use the different color lenses. Good product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful moon shots *by M***L on July 12, 2023* This scope was easy to put together and set up. I aligned the red dot to a telaphone pole in the distance and it is easy to align with what I want to see. Requires quite a few AA batteries if you don't have a power supply. Image looks good through all eyepieces. Took the photo through the eyepiece without the phone adapter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron NexStar 8SE Schmidt-Cassegrain Computerized Telescope Bundle with Telescope Eyepiece/Filter Accessory Kit (2 Items) - Celestron - SkyPortal WiFi Module - Control Your Celestron Computerized Telescope via Smartphone - Telescope Wi-Fi Accessory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/19666558-nexstar-8se-schmidt-cassegrain-computerized-telescope-bundle-with-telescope-eyepiece](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/19666558-nexstar-8se-schmidt-cassegrain-computerized-telescope-bundle-with-telescope-eyepiece) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
