Should I return my Celestron Nexstar 5 ?

Posted By Anthony Jenkins

Thought we ran into a good deal picking this up for $519, with Celestron Observation kit included. We are new to stargazing and we were wondering if this is a good telescope to get started with or should we have invested more money for better equipment?

Should I return my Celestron Nexstar 5 ?

Posted By Anthony Jenkins

Guys,

Thanks for all of the great advice. It definitely helped put our minds at ease.

We have questions about our N5 though. A little history, we bought the N5 as a floor model. How can we tell if the integrity of the scope has been compromised? It has accumulated a lot of dust. Should we send it to Celestron to be cleaned? Any help would appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony and Jen
