      Amazing scope - but with one caution

      The 8SE is a fantastic scope, but should never have been designed as a battery-powered device. Do yourself a favor and purchase a 12V/2A AC/DC power supply or one of the battery packs that Celestron offers. When the 8 AA batteries fall below about 11.5V the scope no longer slews correctly and all sorts of bugs develop, which for a newbie makes learning the feature set very challenging.

      Issues not mentioned in the product description

      The telescope was advertised as being in "good" condition. I assumed that meant that it was operable. The computerized mount does not work. It simply displays an error message when powered on and any of the input buttons are pushed. This happens with both the included AC adapter and a Power Tank-type battery that I have. In addition, the objective lens has several small chips.

    • Very easy to store. Set up. Transport around or carry.

      This is a fantastic scope. The only minus is the fact that The 3mm locking screws on the star diagonal screw on tube are far too short and the knurled finger gripping outside ends are far too small in diameter. They need to be at least, ten mm long. Otherwise, I think it is great.

    • A good value

      The 8SE is a very nice telescope that can be improved with some upgrades such as a better quality Diaganol and eyepieces. The OTA and GoTo control system are very nice.
