Looking for a beginner-friendly telescope? Then you'll love Celestron's Nexstar SE range of go-to telescopes, which takes all the work out of stargazing. And, from the entry-level 4SE to the top-tier 8SE, their prices have been slashed for Prime Day.

Save $100 on the Celestron Nexstar 4SE and $200 on the 8SE at Amazon — both of which we have reviewed and rate highly.

As our expert noted, you can find objects in the sky in a matter of seconds; with the 4SE that'll be planets and bright objects, while with the 8SE you can also spy far-reaching deep-space objects. Whichever model you go for, you'll never be lost in the cosmos again.

Save $100 on the Celestron NexStar SE, which we rank as the best telescope for beginners. In our review of the Celestron NexStar SE, our expert remarked it had that "instant wow factor," and that still stands.

Once set up, finding something to observe is as simple as pressing a few buttons on the computerised mount and away you go. Best suited to observing within our own solar system, it's sure to delight children and adults alike. View Deal

Save $200 on the top of the Celestron NexStar range, the 8SE. It's pricier than the 4SE, but this scope is capable of giving you stunning views of deep space objects with minimal effort.

Reviewing the Celestron NexStar 8SE, our expert praised its "legendary catadioptric telescope performance," adding that "Although it's pretty expensive, this telescope will last for decades." Now that it's cheaper, view this as long-term investment and you won't be disappointed. View Deal

Save $130 on this feature-packed NexStar 5SE which, like the others in this range, makes for effortless stargazing. It doesn't quite have the power of the 8SE but, light pollution aside, you should still be able to make out some deep sky objects. View Deal

In our review of the Celestron NexStar 6SE, our expert commented that it was "An instrument that is built to provide excellent views of the night sky for many observing sessions to come". At $150 off it's an even better deal, though if you can afford the extra it's worth the jump to the truly stunning Celestron NexStar 8SE. View Deal
