The Celestron NexStar 6se is a powerful option for anyone wanting to get a start in planetary astrophotography. Just pair it with your existing DSLR and you have a high contrast package that will capture incredible images of the moon and planets. The NexStar 6se gathers more than 2x more light than the smaller 4se. This extra light can really up the detail you're capturing in your pictures of the planets.
