It was what I expected, and in the agreed time

I have owned several scopes over the years: a Meade ETX-90, an Orion 6" DOB, and a Zhumell 10" DOB (which I returned - read on).When I recently renewed my passion for astronomy earlier this year (2010), I started pulling out my little ETX-90 on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the aperture size and long focal length really limited my viewing to Saturn. I decided it was time to go for something with a bit more power. I bought the 10" DOB I mentioned above. It wasn't passed than the third trip outside, precariously carrying the OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) while "butting" the door open and avoiding hitting my dining room table, that I decided I needed to return that monstrosity for something more portable (by the way, it was a wonderful scope! If you can store it where moving it isn't a problem, it'll do the job!).Enter the Celestron NexStar 6SE.When the scope arrived, I opened the box and pulled out the parts. Having watched the instructional video on how to assemble the item earlier in the day, I didn't even need to look at the directions to get it put together. The tripod was solid and had little play. The OTA was easy to "drop" onto the pins on the tripod, and then I only needed to lock down the three knobbed screws to mount the scope completely. I did need to align the viewfinder, which was easy enough by lining up on Venus.I had forgotten how much I liked the GOTO system (my old ETX-90's mount had long ago stopped functioning). For the 6SE, I used the NexStar alignment method on my first attempt, which simply required 3 bright objects in the sky - I did not need to know what the objects were (you will, however, have to enter some other info like your latitude and longitude, time zone, date and time. Your latitude and longitude is easily found online). It was now time for the first viewing. I selected my old standby, Saturn. The scope slewed very quickly to the object, even going back and forth a bit to account for any play in the gears. When I looked through the low powered eye piece (25mm), Saturn was just left of center (likely my fault on the initial alignment). I then manually centered the planet and replaced my eye piece with a higher powered piece - a 9mm lens. All I can say is wow. I live a few miles from the Pittsburgh International Airport, so light pollution is a real problem for me. But, Saturn came in as crisp as I have ever seen it, and 4 of her moons were very easily discernible.However, planetary viewing isn't so difficult with even the most basic scope. I decided to try a few more difficult targets. I could see that The Big Dipper was out, so I typed in M51 - The Whirlpool Galaxy. After a few quick moments of slewing, I took to the eyepiece again (back to the 25mm, btw), and there were two "eyes" looking at me (M51 is actually two galaxies). Of course with bad seeing conditions and a 6" scope, I could not make out any of the "arms" of the galaxy, but I could easily see the telltale fuzzy eyes. I was quite surprised I was able to resolve them that easily with the smaller aperture on this scope! I don't remember my old 6" DOB having that easy of a time, but maybe that was due to the GOTO capability of this item.Next, I turned my attention to M81 and M82, two other galaxies very close to The Dipper. They came in great, with M82 showing off its profile nicely even with my (relatively) bad seeing conditions.Finally, I hit M3, which is a brilliant globular star cluster. The cluster was a wonderful view in this scope. Switching to a higher power eye piece caused many stars to shimmer in and out of view - it was jaw dropping.Anyway, I wanted to point out that, if you need a portable scope that is capable of showing you some wonderful astronomical sights, this scope fits the bill. Although another reviewer is right in that the stock eye pieces aren't incredible (nor are any other stock pieces!), you would certainly be happy with this scope for the occasional "quick" viewing session. Heck, put a few additional dollars (well, a few hundred!) down for some better eye pieces, and you'll be thrilled for years to come!One final note: due to the design of the Schmidt Cassegrain scope, you are almost required to buy a dew shield, unless you live in Phoenix or some other really dry area. Here in the northeast, my scope fogged up very quickly. I was able to build a temporary dew shield with some black construction paper that worked fine, but that's no long term solution. Astronomy is certainly not a cheap hobby!Overall, I am very pleased with this scope. And, unless you are more than casually into this hobby, I think you will be, too.

1 yıldır listemdeydi. Daha önce Celestron 127EQ kullanıyordum. Gözlemlerimi her zaman keyifle yapıyordum. Bu teleskopla daha da keyif alacağıma eminim.

I've wanted a telescope for a long time and finally decided to get one with Jupiter and Saturn close to opposition. Even though I had seen photos and thought I knew what to expect, I was blown away when I first sighted in Jupiter and was able to make out faint lines on its surface and 4 of its moons. I then pointed it towards Saturn and was amazed to be able to see its rings. The telescope is very simple to setup and you can get a rough alignment with a single planet (or a more accurate alignment with various other options) - once aligned, the telescope will compensate for the rotation and movement of the Earth and keep its direction pointed to where you set it, and also conveniently move to whatever object you want to look at. I still have a ton to discover with this telescope and have already run my first set of batteries dry just looking at Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon. I also recommend picking up the accessory kit with various filters, a 2x barlow lens and bunch more eyepieces to vary zoom. The moon photos were taken with the NexYZ attachment and a Pixel 2, but it didn't work so well for planets (but I'm already looking at buying a Celestron camera to get better photos).

Maravilloso, tanto en uso astronomico como terrestre.Estamos encantados los 5 de la familia, y se mejora con otros acoples. Una maravilla.Única pega, el programa que viene con clave no se descarga y la empresa Celestron no ayuda. La distribuidora en Barcelona cerró en el 2018 así q no hay soporte técnico po esa parte ... Pero Grande Amazon, te ofrece una ayuda básica, pero muy útil que te saca del apuro, gracias Amazon y a su gestor telefónico.
