Hand-Picked by Agena Astro Experts
Every NexStar 6SE Starter Bundle is curated by Agena Astro’s team of astronomers and astrophotographers with over 200 years of combined experience. We’ve chosen accessories that make setup simple and observing effortless—so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time exploring.
What’s Included in the Starter Bundle
Celestron 1.25" 2x Omni Barlow Lens
Double your magnification instantly! The Omni Barlow lets you zoom in for a closer look at the Moon’s craters, Jupiter’s cloud belts, and Saturn’s rings — perfect for exploring finer details without swapping eyepieces. Simply insert one of the included eyepieces into the Barlow, place it in your telescope’s focuser, and your magnification doubles automatically. It’s an easy, powerful way to expand what your NexStar 6SE can show.
Celestron ND 0.9 Moon Filter (13% Transmission)
If you’ve ever looked at the Moon through a large telescope, you know how blindingly bright it can be — especially through an 8-inch scope like the NexStar 6SE. The Celestron ND 0.9 Moon Filter tones down that harsh glare, revealing far more subtle detail while keeping your eyes comfortable. Craters, ridges, and lunar maria stand out with crisp contrast, letting you explore the Moon for longer without squinting or eye strain.
Celestron AC Adapter
Plug in to any standard AC outlet for steady, uninterrupted power. The AC Adapter keeps your mount tracking perfectly during extended observing sessions.
LensPen Optics Cleaning Tool
Keep your optics pristine with the LensPen, designed specifically for telescope lenses and eyepieces. A retractable brush removes dust, while the carbon-cleaning tip safely clears smudges — maintaining crisp, clear views night after night.
What You Can See with the NexStar 6SE Starter Bundle
With its 150 mm aperture, the 6SE delivers crisp, contrast-rich views of both solar system and deep-sky targets:
-
The rings of Saturn and cloud bands of Jupiter
-
The rugged craters and mountains of the Moon
-
Bright nebulae such as Orion and Lagoon glowing with detail
-
The Andromeda Galaxy and other bright deep-sky objects under dark skies
