Questions & Answers
Can this be connected to a monitor or tv screen? Expert Answer

The Celestron NexStar 5SE Telescope may be able to connect or stream to a TV. I recommend contacting Celestron regarding how they recommend doing that.

Does it come with an AC adapter or power pack? Is there a warranty? Expert Answer

This does not come with the power adapter, you can find the adapter separately here: https://www.opticsplanet.com/celestron-telescopes-ac-110v-adptr.html. This has a 2 year warranty.
