Great value....but one or two improvements needed

What do you get when you cross an SCT with a digital camera and Star War’s C3PO?

A good scope which could easily have been the best - but isn't.

Does it really belong with department store refractors

Chinese Optics... Dynamite or Dud?

One of the best Meade telescopes I've looked through.

Check out my video review links!!

What a great combination of portability, viewing and value! The Celestron NexStar 8SE is really a joy to use. I also review a few of the accessories I bought with it.

My ETX-LS 6 has grown up and bulked up. But has it matured? Has it gained consistency in its performance and distanced itself from its early "teething" issues of its former younger, smaller self. Read more to find out.

Simply put, this telescope is a GREAT tool for lunar and planetary photography. This is why I bought it. I was looking at the similar VMC95L, at a price point used of about $150 or new $200. I stumbled across bigger brother at $140 and jumped at the chance.
