Absolutely brilliant!
By Joe
After reading several mixed reviews about this telescope I eventually purchased it (despite more advanced astronomers calling it a smaller amature telescope) on the Saturday and was amazed when I found the huge box in my porch on Monday- super fast delivery! Inside the box was the telescope and mount with their parts, a quick set up guide, a manual on how to use the telescope, a manual on a disk and some software for tracking the planets. It wasn't too difficult to set up- took about half hour, the mount seemed a little confusing at first but after turning the knobs the controls where self explanatory. Locating planets using the red dot pointer was difficult but aiming through it points you in at least the right direction. There are 2 interchangeable lenses with this telescope one 20mm for locating a planet and one 10mm for more detail. The views I got where amazing! The moon nearly filled the whole view using the 20mm lens and I had to pan around using the 10mm as the moon went well outside the view, the details where so crisp I could count the craters and even could make out the mare imbrium and serenitatis very easily! I also saw Jupiter and 4 of it's moon's and the most rewarding yet the Orion nebula! My only complaints about this telescope are the red dot pointer and the tripod is a bit shakey but for a complete novice like me it's absolutely brilliant, well worth the money!

nice telescope, shame about the finder scope
By bees
I actually downsized from a celestron 675 powerseeker, I wanted something slightly easier to cart around, but was extremely frustrated with the finder scope. The red dot to red dot finder should never have left the drawing board, it's diabolical. What makes things worse is the fact that it is built into the telescope. I now have to buy an optical finder- there's only so many batteries you can go through whilst trying to find a full moon!

very pleased
By paul robinson
the optics and mount am very pleased with however the rd dot storfinder isusless[attaching an 8inch length of 20mm plastic pipe was more successful]; have now purchased the Celestron First Scope finder kit which is even better making it a lot easier to find targets
