This is a fantastic telescope have not got to use much cause of the cold and cloudy weather but have got some great pictures of the moon in the day time and the night time and some good Jupiter pictures also I would so recommend this line to anyone looking for a very easy and fun telescope

Accurate; Compact; Easy to Use; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction

Heavy

First light - WOW! Great scope, great optics. StarAlign system works as advertised. On clear, calm night, the scope will split Capella A and B with the 25mm eyepiece that comes with the scope. Did a lot of research for a new scope and this one is a no-brainer. Only issue - an AC adapter is a MUST.

GREAT OPTICS; STURDY TRIPOD

BATTERY POWER ALMOST USELESS

This is my first real telescope and I chose this over the often recommended Dobsonian because of portability. I bought a Barlow and Zoom lens which should satisfy my needs for a while. The GoTo function is awesome and set up is easy.

Fairly portable; Quality Lenses; Strong Construction

I have had the 6SE for about 3 months now and have had many nights of enjoyable viewing from my backyard. I have found no need to collimate. The scope arrived well packed and the optics were right on straight out of the box.

Amazing Price! Saw this telescope in a retail store for $500 more. So glad I checked online and saved myself the money. It really does do everything it says, and more! I went out with my astronomy group and one of the members said "it's got great optics".

I actually bought this telescope to continue my love of astronomy, I have had mine about 6 - 8 months and despite the weather being very overcast and cloudy at times, you can do some daylight as well as night observations.

Love this scope. I did a lot of research before buying and read a lot of reviews. I'm a fan of technology but was on a budget. I have this connected to a laptop running some shareware astrology software (Stellarium).

Good price; Beautifully crisp image

If you are serious about getting into astronomy, this is the best Nexstar to get, and the best overall in my opinion.

Portable; easy to align; does not require much regular maintenance

Chews through batteries and not the best at viewing deep space objects

I've been researching telescopes for about 18 months now, after playing with a Celestron Powerseeker 127eq. I finally settled on the Nexstar 6SE, and got it on sale during the holidays in 2016. If you've also done some research, all of the telescope options can make your head spin.

The NexStar 6SE delivers a lot of capability for the money. The flexibility of this mount means you can swap in other tubes, too.

Compact; excellent optical performance; simple to use; portable; big value/dollar

Cost; power hungry; unable to do long exposure photography
