This Cyber Monday, you'll be able to get $840 off the NexStar 8SE, $560.95 off the NexStar 6SE and $330.95 off the NexStar 4SE. All models offer excellent optics, thanks to a flawless lens coating so no defects like color fringing or coma ruin your observations. Views of globular clusters, nebulas, planets, the moon and galaxies are revealed with impressive clarity.

The NexStar's database boasts 40,000 night-sky targets to explore at the touch of a button and a 25 mm E-Lux eyepiece, StarPointer finderscope, accessory tray, USB cable, star diagonal, astronomy software, the NexStar+ handset are all included in the price.  

For a great mid-level option we recommend the Celestron NexStar 6SE, which is at an impressive 41% off and will suit a variety of budgets as well as level of astronomer. If your budget doesn't quite stretch that far, or you're looking for a larger aperture, then the NexStar 4SE and NexStar 8SE are both still excellent choices.
