Astronomy can be a lot of fun if you have the right equipment and enough knowledge to know what you are looking at. Last month I reviewed the Celestron

I just purchased this bundle and have spent some time over the last few days trying to set it up and understand how to get everything to work.. There's a bit of a learning curve for sure, but I'm getting there. I've been able to make it work from my laptop.

Attractive Design; Durable; Easy To Assemble

Compact easy to use first scope for beginners. Has limited room for growth into astrophotography, but can support small reftactors.

Low cost; light weight; good lumar images

Mount unable to do long exposure astrophotography; narrow field of view

This is a good telescope for money. It is light & have a stable mount. The mounted wedge is good for astrophotography, but not at the telescope's native focal lenght. Perhaps a piggy back DSLR will able to take a good astrophotography.

Compact; light

Aperature small; Maksutov cassegrain design not as flexible as schmidt cassegrain

I am happy my husband and I purchased this for our introduction into the hobby. The tripod is sturdy and well-made. The telescope itself is simply amazing. The included instructions made putting it together and getting it working very easy and took only about an hour.

This is my first telescope and I'm very pleased with it... it's easy to set up, has a computerized 'go-to' mount and good optics. I've all ready managed to get a good picture of the moon (see image) and seen jupiter plus an open star cluster.

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality

Great buy for my husband, he's not a star gazing expect but found the remote tracker very useful.

This is my first scope and it is awesome! It's very easy to use having the GoTo ability; image quality of the moon,Jupiter, Mars and stars is fantastic! The scope is simple to set up, light and easy to store if you're restricted for space.

light; easy to carry; price; portability; light weight; Accurate; user friendly; great first telescope; quality +++; Beautifully crisp image

This Celestron telescope is amazing! It arrived quickly and well packaged thanks to Telescopes Direct. Awesome product at an awesome price!

The Celestron Nexstar 4-SE has top-of-the-range stargazing features, such its StarBright finderscope, to more accurately locate distant objects. Its quick release arm mount, tool tray and computerised mount also make it easy to set up.
