The 8 SE is a compromise. The OTA works well enough, but dew is a constant headache.The mount can work well,although never on a consistent basis. Mount also appears to be overloaded with this OTA.I hung a weight opposite the OTA and vibration and noise were considerably lessened.It is certainly easy...

I would change only one thing
This is a very good scope. Excellent value, fun to use. I would definitely recommend this. I suggest Celestron upgrade the finder scope.
Pros:
- Easy to setup, very portable
- Nice clear images, easy to use
Cons:
- The supplied finder scope is too flimsy too be very useful

Software fail
My first big scope but I guess I bought the factory dog as the SkyAlign just consistently failed the first night. When I finally got a successful message and hit Tour it slewed in completely the wrong direction for Jupe and Saturn.

Defective product
I am very disappointed with this telescope. This is my second telescope, my first was a manual Dobsonian. I needed a new Telescope with a feature tracking the Earth rotation and the Nexstar 8SE I got is defective.
Cons:
- Flimsy

I had decided on the NexStar 8 SE telescope due to it's goto capability, large primary mirror, and portability. When looking at various stores, I found Adorama was not only offering ($) off of the typical price, but included a nice accessory kit for free.

Amazing Scope!
I am more than pleased with the telescope. When I placed my order, I was told it would take just shy of 2 weeks for delivery; however, within 2 days I was notified that the items shipped and would be delivered in 3 days.

Wish it had auto align
To start I am a complete newb to astronomy. I did do some research online watched MANY you tube videos. Contemplated between the 6SE and the 8SE. After looking at the amount of light difference between the two went with the 8SE. The 25mm eyepiece is a decent eyepiece to start with.
