Celestron NexStar Evolution Overview

The Celestron NexStar Evolution 9.25 235mm f/10 AZ GoTo Schmidt-Cassegrain OTA & Mount is a powerful, portable, versatile, and user-friendly telescope that can be used for observing everything from the moon and planets to deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae. Using Celestron's proprietary StarBright XLT multicoating system, light transmission is increased through the entire optical path with anti-reflection multicoated lenses and highly reflective multicoated four-element rare-earth glass mirrors. While the focal ratio is a slow f/10, the scope's precision tracking system allows it to be a competent astrophotography/astroimaging platform for the moon and planets.
The Evolution comes with two ways to use and control it. The first is to simply download Celestron's free Navigator app for Android and iOS smartphones and tablets. The scope's Wi-Fi provides the connection to the app and expands its capabilities, including an expanded database of over 120,000 objects with detailed information on more than 200 of those objects. Second is the iconic 2-line 16-character NexStar+ computer controller. This is a wired piece of hardware with a database of over 40,000 celestial objects plus several astronomical catalogs, including the Messier and Caldwell. Whether using the controller or a mobile device, the system can assist in properly aligning the scope, provide tours of the objects and events visible whenever and wherever you're viewing, and allow for manual direction and slew control.
Designed for portability, the Evolution features a long-life lithium-iron phosphate battery that provides up to 10 hours of continual use on a single charge. The scope comes with an AC power supply with plugs for the US, EU, UK, and AU outlets. The battery powers the servo motors, auxiliary accessory ports, USB charging port, and built-in Wi-Fi module. Manual clutches in both altitude and azimuth enable you to manually move and point the telescope when it's powered off.
Optical Performance
Large 235mm (9.25") f/10 aperture can be used for lunar, planetary, and deep-sky viewing
2350mm focal length produces a high magnification potential
Crown optical glass primary mirror
StarBright XLT optical coatings: Multilayer aluminum/SiO2 (quartz)/TiO2 (titanium dioxide) mirror coatings with flat reflectivity across the light spectrum for both astrophotography/astroimaging and visual observation
Multilayer MgF2 (magnesium fluoride) and HfO2 (hafnium dioxide) anti-reflective lens coatings
High-transmission water white glass corrector lens with 97.4% light transmission
Internal focusing mechanism
Resolution: 0.59 arcsec (Rayleigh); 0.49 arcsec (Dawes)
Secondary mirror obstruction: 3.35"; 36%: by diameter; 13% by area
Fastar capability: Secondary mirror can be removed and a DSLR or imaging rig mounted in its place for fast wide-field astrophotography
NexStar Controller
2-line, 16-character LCD display
19 fiber optic backlit red LED buttons
Database of over 40,000 celestial objects plus 100 user defined
Automatically slew to planets, stars, constellations, and a variety of catalogs
Camera control: For piggyback wide field or conventional astrophotography through the OTA, the controller can automatically trigger the shutter release to capture the image
Anti-backlash compensation programs out play between gears for more precise tracking
Tour Mode: Shows a selection of the most popular objects for the time and date you are observing
Constellation Tour: Allows the user to take a tour of all the best objects within a particular constellation
Alignment procedures: SkyAlign, Auto 2-Star, 1-Star, 2-Star, and Solar System
SkyAlign alignment: Takes minutes, with minimal effort or experience—point the telescope at three bright objects in the sky, and the telescope does the rest
Nine slew speeds: 4°/sec, 2°/sec, 1°/sec, 0.5°/sec, 2x, 4x, 8x,16x, and 32x
Sidereal, Solar, and Lunar tracking rates for observing the fast-moving moon, to slower-moving deep space subjects
RS-232 communication port allows for computer control
Flash updateable via the Celestron website
Database Details:
Solar system objects including the sun, moon, and planets
Named objects
Stars: Asterims, variable stars, double stars, named stars
Caldwell catalog
Messier catalog
NGC catalog
SAO catalog
Constellations
Sky Portal App
Connect your smart device to the telescope via direct Wi-Fi connection; no router required
Align and control the telescope from your device
App uses the device's camera and compass to determine location and what is available to see
Enjoy the same features as NexStar controller, but without wires
Expanded database of over 120,000 objects
Detailed information on over 200 popular objects including audio commentary, statistics, history, mythology, video, and pictures
Database includes: sun, moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, asteroids and comets, satellites, and the International Space Station
Simulate the night sky up to 100 years in the past or future to plan an upcoming observing session
Compass Mode: Hold device up to the night sky and identify objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies; zoom in to view fainter objects not visible to the naked eye
Night Vision Mode: Preserves night-adjusted vision
Listen to more than four hours of audio narration to learn the history, mythology, and science of astronomy and the night sky
Works as a stand-alone planetarium app
Free for Android or iOS mobile devices
Apple iOS 7.0 and later, or Android 4.0 and later
Mount
Motorized single-arm alt-azimuth fork mount
Integrated carry handle in arm enables safe and secure handling during setup and breakdown
Altitude and azimuth clutches to manually point the telescope when it is powered off
Brass worm gears with steel ball bearings provide smooth movement with reduced vibration
146mm diameter/180-tooth stainless steel worm wheels
Ports: One port for NexStar+ controller; one 5 VDC USB charging port for smartphones and small electronics; three auxiliary ports for optional accessories such as StarSense AutoAlign System
