If you're looking for the ultimate family-friendly telescope, it's hard to beat the Celestron NexStar Evolution Series. These telescopes have it all. Superb optics. State-of-the-art computer control. Easy push-button alignment. And a Wi-Fi interface so you can control the telescope with your iOS or Android smartphone.

These cutting-edge scopes build on Celestron's time-tested NexStar SE platform and include an internal battery, SkyAlign alignment technology for easy set-up, and brass worm gears and improved motors that are precise enough to let you take simple astrophotos through the telescope with a DSLR camera, or longer-exposure astrophotos with an optional equatorial wedge. These are serious instruments, yet easy enough for nearly anyone to set up and use.

From now until December 31, 2018, save up to $100 on the 6", $150 on the 8", and $200 on the 9.25" NexStar Evolution Schmidt-Cassegrain scopes.
