Great scope, however the price appears to be anticipating our Canadian dollar continuing to fall against the American. Local pricing can be found at less than $800

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

To take pictures of the sky. I have yet to use it since it wasn't sent with any lenses. It feels like it is made in a superior way. Not the type of telescope for beginners. I have yet to get it up and running since I am still waiting on parts.

I was able to see two atmospheric bands of Jupiter with some difficulty (I used several lenses and verified the collimation) and the Orion Nebula was very faint smudge. I expected more from the telescope of the year.

Accurate; Compact; Easy to Use

Difficult To Focus; Poor Lens Quality

Spent quite a bit of time working out the exact package I wanted, and the SE6 ticked all the boxes but was too pricey in Sydney (about double the cost). I was a bit nervous about shipping it such a long way but B&H managed to get it to me in just 4 days and it didn't even need collimation on...

I purchased this telescope because I am not that knowledgeable about the position of some of the objects in the night sky that I wanted to see. My old telescope was hard to observe thru and very frustrating so I wanted an easier observing tool.

Good choice, Excellent view.

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

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
