## Description

There’s no better way to safely store and transport your Celestron telescope than with one of our durable, padded cases. For models with 4” to 6” apertures, both the mount and the optical tube fit inside the case together. The case is EVA molded to protect your telescope with a hard, yet flexible shell. Every wall of the case is reinforced with dense foam padding to absorb shock and protect the telescope’s optics during transportation, loading, and unloading. The case features two sturdy nylon straps for grab-and-go convenience. Inside the case, two dense foam spacers and a built-in compression strap help you customize the case for each telescope model. You’ll also find extra features that help keep you organized in the field. An expandable storage zipper pocket allows you to carry all your telescope’s standard accessories. This case’s external dimensions measure 23”x15”x14”. The internal dimensions are 19”x11”x10”. Full telescope compatibility list: • NexStar 4SE (mount and OTA) • NexStar 5SE (mount and OTA) • NexStar 6SE (mount and OTA) • NexStar Evolution 6 (mount and OTA) • NexStar 8SE, NexStar Evolution 8, and other 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain/EdgeHD optical tubes (OTA only).

Review: Nexstar 6se - stop using your shipping box and get this - This is a great case. Much better than using the box my Nexstar 6se was shipped in. For a while I tried using a rubbermaid bin and reusing the foam packaging, but it was not that convenient to carry around. You couldn't carry it one handed. One side holds your scope. For the 6se you wont need the two foam spacer inserts. To get the 6se to fit, you need to stretch the case foam a bit to clear the visual back and focuser. At first I was concerned about the pressure of such a snug fit, but the foam does give a bit so it is fine. Be aware that the 4/5/6se will fit with the mount attached, but for the 8se you will need to remove the mount. Only the 8se optical tube will fit. The picture on the insert of the case (check out the pictures on the celestron site to see what I mean) shows the OTA placed with the hand control on the right and the bolt that attaches the tube to the fork arm pointing up, however I had to insert it reversed (mirrored) for that to work. In other words, when I place the OTA in the case I have the hand control on the left so the fork arm knob points up. If I placed it as the pamphlet showed, the knob would be pointing down and I think that would prevent it from laying truly flat. I had to remove the finderscope, not to mention the diagonal. The 4/5se might allow room to have them attached, but I wouldn't bet on it. It also has a nice seat belt buckle to secure it. The other side has a slightly rigid zippered flap the size of the entire side. It is recessed so as to have enough clearance when the case is closed. Unzipping the flap and lifting it up reveals it has a full length pocket on the other side. You could possibly fit notes and small starcharts within it. I place my eyepiece tray in it even though part of it sticks out. No worries since when the flap is zipped everything inside is separated from the OTA. Underneath where the flap lays, there are two velcro closed pouches. Inside one pouch there are three separated spaces. The other pouch has four. In one pouch, I could easily fit the finderscope, the diagonal, and AC power cord. The other pouch will accommodate eyepieces, filters and other odds and ends.The pouches themselves feel slightly padded as well. The handles include a velcro wrap to make sure the straps stay together. The outer shell is a bit rigid, but I would not go about dropping or banging it around. Don't expect to step on it and not crunch something inside. It is a vessel to store your OTA and accessories elegantly and convenient to carry around one handed. While the case itself looks like it would withstand normal wear and tear, I wouldn't want to cause any damage to it that would affect the contents inside. Do yourself a favor and get this case. While it is hard to justify the cost of this as opposed to a DIY solution. This is designed for your scope and it is worth it in my opinion.
Review: Top Notch Telescope Case! - This is a top quality Celestron telescope case for the Nexstar and SE 4", 5" & 6" SCT scopes and mounts. It will even fit the Celestron 8" SCT OTA but without the mount (8" OTA only). Super solid thick dense foam interior and semi-hard-shell exterior. Plenty of space for the scopes and accessories. I have my Meade 8" ACF OTA inside with 2" diagonal and other 2" accessories. It's bigger than my thick padded tubular storage bag I had for it but not too, too big. It would have been nice if they didn't make the lid section as deep as the storage section and cut it down a couple inches but other than that it's a terrific case. My only complaint is that it IS a bit overpriced. You won't be disappointed though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I carry my Celestron NexStar 130 SLT telescope in it?**
A: I bought mine for the Nextstar 8se and it's a perfect fit for that. I looked at the specs for your scope and they show 28" long. The inside of this case is 26" so I would say it would not fit.Celestron says there is no case for it, but you might start here: http://www.amazon.com/Zhumell-MED-CASE-Medium-Telescope-Case/dp/B004DDLTAKEven though that item isn't available scroll through the also viewed section, you might find something.You might also look at http://www.astronomyforum.net/telescope-forum/153228-case-celestron-nexstar-130slt.htmlYou could also think about a wheeled trunk http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=wheeled%20trunk&sprefix=wheeled+trunk%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Awheeled%20trunkYoul'd need to add some padding, I got one for the scope accessories.

**Q: Celestron NexStar 6 SE Telescope..Can be used in this case?**
A: Yes   I am using it for a Celestron nextstar 6 you take out a spacer pad they have in there for the 4 inch and you have to take the eyepiece and the sight off. I fits very tightly and there are pockets to hold all your extras like eyepieces etc.  I have been traveling in a 5th wheel camper with it since June of 14 until now( Dec 2014) and it has held the scope verey safely.  It is sturdy and rather heavy though. Be advised it only holds the Telescope and accessories you have to carry the tripod seperately.

**Q: Will this case work fro a Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Computerized Telescope?  Or is there a better case?  If so what is the better case?**
A: The NexStar 130SLT does NOT fit.  I don’t know why Celestron Tech Support keeps saying it does.  I sent mine back yesterday and notified them- and they still insisted it does fit- even sent along a photo.

**Q: Does the motorized mount fit in this case along with the optical tube (Nexstar 8SE)?**
A: Dear James, I confirm that the both the optical tube and the mount for the Nexstar 8SE fits into the case. You only need to adjust the tube along the dovetail so that the edge is set close to the mount basis.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brand name is worthwhile over generic
*by R***S on February 8, 2024*

This brand name case fits my Celestron 5se quite well. I use their other bag for the tripod mount. The brand name for the telescope bag is definitely worthwhile to fit the telescope itself and maintain a few accessories. The foam does appear to be different from the type found in generic storage cases which concerned me due to off gassing and potentially coating the expensive lenses. For this reason, the brand name product does seem worthwhile. The protection is actually quite good as it is semi-rigid, similar to carry on luggage with a flexible thin blow molded case.
