Very Immature Product

Author's Rating:

Pros: Lowest cost scope of its kind, Sturdy tripod, Quality optics

Cons: Celestron has severe quality control problems with mount, poor quality manufacturing

Bottom Line:
Don't waste your time and money. Wait for Celestron to perfect this product or cough up $700 more for a Nexstar GPS or LX200. Read More
