worked great for a month and then it didn't work at all.8/25/2017 OK, so i have to give these guys cred. After reading my review . I was contacted by them and the speaker was replaced quickly and easily. I've have the speaker for a few weeks and all is good. The speaker sounds great and handles phone calls easily with quality sound. I have not had to recharge it yet, but i will definitely keep this updated on its performance in the future. I changed my rating after the great customer service.

Bought this and a solar filter and iPhone holder for the 8/21 solar eclipse. Served its purpose very well.

Outstanding bench tripod. Sturdy enough for my 5" Celestron SCT Spotting Scope.

I really liked this filter. I got this filter with the intention of the Solar eclipse that just occured. I am very happy that I got it and will be using again.

Many will tell you that SCT Telescopes in an Alt/Az configuration such as this Nexstar 6SE is unsuitable for astrophotography, but that is simply not true.These pictures were taken without the use of a wedge as well. I was using the Celestron f/6.3 focal reducer. They aren't the best pictures, and they could be much better with more integration time (and getting a wedge) but I just wanted to leave a review to show at least a little bit of what this scope is capable of.The camera I use is a ZWO ASI294MC Pro astronomy camera but a DSLR should be able to get close albeit having more noise as it is not a cooled camera.

This works VERY well for attaching my Canon Rebel T3i to my celestron C6 SCT telescope. I have gotten great pictures with the use of it as well.

5-inch SCT collects enough light to see planets and moon. You can barely see Jupiter and Saturn. Mars is a dot. Moon is visible with good magnification and details. You can’t see nebulae or galaxies. Andromeda is a dark barely visible blob, even though it is the closest galaxy. This scope is not useful for astrophotography on this Alt-Az mount. You can use this scope itself on a separate equatorial mount for good deep sky imaging, however most equipment is built for 2-inch eye piece ports, this one has 1.2-inch. Of course you can buy an adapter too, but you lose part of the imaging sensor due to smaller hole emitting light. This scope is best for kids or someone on a budget.

This telescope has great viewing capabilities, but i wish i could find the solar filter that goes with it.
