- Dimensions
- Product Weight: 23 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)
- Compatibility
- Computerized Star Locator Compatible: true
- Included
- Software Included: SkyX First Light Edition software
- Computerized Star Locator Included: true
- Eyepieces Included: 2 eyepieces: 9mm, 25mm
- Tripod Included: true
- Operation Manual Included: true
- Case Included: false
- USB Cable Included: false
- Performance
- Water Resistant: false (Resists some degree of water penetration.)
- Power
- Battery Quantity: 8
- Battery Size: D (The battery size required for operation.)
- Features
- Computerized Hand Control: true
- Magnification Type: Variable (Variable magnification indicates the presence of a zoom function on the device, but fixed magnification cannot be adjusted by the user.)
- Optical Design: Catadioptric (There are three primary optical designs for telescopes: refractor, reflector, or catadioptric. Refractors use lenses, reflectors use mirror(s), and catadioptric telescopes use a combination of both to form images.)
- Electronic Red-Dot Projection Viewfinder: true (Locate astronomical objects more easily by using the electronic red-dot viewfinder, which shows unmagnified upright images. Wherever the telescope is pointed, a red dot or other symbol appears on the projection screen to help the user locate and focus on targets.)
- Indicator Light(s): false
- Mount Type: Computerized alt-azimuth
- Tracking Rates: Sidereal; Solar; Lunar (Refers to the speed of movement of the telescope's axis in order to follow a target of observation. There are several rates classified by a celestial object's apparent rate of motion: sidereal (star) tracking, lunar (moon) tracking, and solar (sun) tracking.)
- Tripod Mountable: Yes
- Multi-Coated Optics: true (Multiple lens surfaces are coated and/or have multiple layers of thin films applied to each. Generally, more lens coatings provide higher levels of light transmission, contrast, and color clarity.)
- Imaging
- Magnification: 60 times
- Exposure Control
- Focal Length: 1500 millimeters (The distance from an optical device's primary lens or mirror to the point where light rays come together in a single focused point, used to determine a device's magnifying power.)
- Other
- Assembly Required: No

Q: What is the difference between the celestron 6 se and the sky prodigy 6
A: The optical tubes have identical Schmidt-Cassegrain optics but with different exterior colors. The SkyProdigy 6 is a self-aligning telescope while the NexStar 6SE is not. The NexStar 6SE requires the user to enter in date, time, and location manually and must be pointed at alignment stars before the telescope can function as a go-to instrument. However, by the optional StarSense Auto-Align accessory, the NexStar 6SE can be turned into a self-aligning telescope.
