The Celestron NexStar 5SE is a 5-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope on a computerized GoTo alt-azimuth mount. It offers good light gathering and sharp optics in a portable package, and its database of thousands of objects makes it easy for beginners to find celestial targets. Compared to the larger NexStar 8SE, it is lighter and more portable but has less aperture, so it shows fainter objects less well. Reviewers praise its ease of use and optical quality, though some note the mount can be shaky and the hand controller is dated.
