The Celestron Nexstar 6se Telescope is fun, big and heavy, powerful, and really good optics. The night I first used it I used the Skyalign alignment and worked perfectly along with auto 2 star alignment. That night I saw Saturn In really good detail, and what was surprising was I was able to see Swan Nebula and Hercules Cluster all from a heavy light polluted sky.Optics: 10/10Goto: 8/10Tracking: 8:10Portability: 7/10Eyepiece: 7/10Battery Life: 4/10Strength of tripod: 10/10Magnification: 10/10Light Gathering: 9/10So this telescope is really cool and fun to use and I will buy an AC adapter later. This telescope is the best I have Ever Had and Is worth the $800.00Update 11/30/13:I live in a very heavy light polluted sky and no deep sky objects are visible to the naked eye. But when I look through the telescope I see the Orion Nebula(M42) very bright and clear. But when I type in Dumbbell Nebula(M27) I don't see a thing except several tens of stars. To see it you have to image it, I took 10 images 10 second exposure each (10x10s) and stacked them for a total of 100 second exposure . The Nebula was big, bright, and colorful(you can see the image in the product image gallery). So to see brighter/faint deep sky objects in a light polluted sky you have to image them with a camera. the faintest thing I have ever detected in any image is about magnitude 12(244 times fainter you can ever see with the naked eye).

Got this for over the crib. Pit some 3m double sided tape on it and bam. Eye in the sky. Works well, loads fast on WiFi and you can talk through it. App is easy to use. Price is divine. Grab one.

I just got these today from Amazon, and just spent about an hour in the lawn looking at the sky! I was able to see all sorts of stuff not visible with the naked eye, including some clusters, a nice view of Saturn. I will probably be using these much more than my 6" Dobsonian!

You just can’t go wrong with this telescope. Looking at the starts is outstanding. I bought it for my 28 yr old and my 3 yr old granddaughter stole it. So easy to use..

It doesn’t move anymore. That’s why I gave it 4 stars. But otherwise my daughter loves it.

This telescope is amazing! easy set up, a little hard on syncing it with the sky, and remote could be easier to work with, it should of connected to the cellphone for easier access, but it workable, I bought a cellphone holder for the eye so I can take pictures 14$ on Amazon, great attachment. We will see how it captures Saturn and other stars and planets

Fast service, image as clear and wide as with star diagonal, great price for the quality. Certainly helps at public stargazes, where folks always wonder about the crescent moon pointing the wrong direction through the eyepiece compared to the naked eye sky view.

I love the rotation of the unit, makes it easy to use and see everything.
