I love this telescope.-I took this picture of spiral galaxy NGC2903 with this telescope. 20 second exposures. asi120mm camera
This telescope worked flawlessly right out of the box. Excellent optics and the go to function eliminates the light pollution problem of star hopping with stars you can't see. I pick an object on the Skeye app on my smart phone, enter it in the hand controller, and spend my time viewing instead of looking for the object. I got the car lighter cable and rigged it to a sealed lead acid battery to save on AA batteries. It tracks beautifully. I use the 8mm to 24mm Celestron zoom eyepiece exclusively. I also use the 2x Celestron Barlow lens. The eyepiece and Barlow both have large glass lenses and are heavy unlike cheaper optics. I've been able to see the Cassini division in the rings of Saturn and many Messier objects. It usually completes the 3 star alignment on the first try. I did change out the red dot finder with a Rigel Quick finder I already had. The original finder was acceptable but the Rigel finder is easier for me to use. This is an excellent telescope. The unusually long two year warranty is extra peace of mind.Months later. I have continued using my Nexstar SLT 102MM REFRACTOR and am more and more pleased each month. I've had it at leadt 18 months now and added the STARSENSE auto alignment accessory. I'm too old to do a lot of bending to align it. With the STARSENSE I aim the scope at blank sky and it aligns perfectly. I use the manual mode because of obstructions in my yard. I also modified the tripod for equatorial alignment. I extended two legs fully and bolted an angle iron piece between them close to the ground. I put a long bolt on the center of the angle iron to add 15 lbs.of weights to keep it from tipping over. The third leg is fully retracted and a short piece of angle iron extends it away from the accessory tray support to achieve 38 degrees. I took a 65 second exposure of the Orion nebula with no star trails and rosy faint clouds easily seen. I LOVE THIS SCOPE.!!! I could get a heavier mount made for the task but the extremely lightweight tripod is so easy. You can see some of my astrophotos on cloudynights.com under user name ae4gm2003 along with my equatorially adjusted modification. It still tracks in the alt/az mode with this setup. Using STARSENSE there is no need to level the tripod. I also now put fresh AA batteries in the mount along with the AC adapter plugged into it so no intermittent disconnect messes up my alignment.

Sehr gutes Einsteigerteleskop

Mit den enthaltenden Okularen sind bereits gute Beobachtungen des Mondes, sowie einzelner Planeten des Sonnensystems möglich.
Ich habe bis jetzt das Teleskop bei uns im Garten getestet (Siedlung nahe am Dorfkern). Die Beobachtungen haben mich aber sehr positiv überrascht. Trotz Lichtverschmutzung konnten wir um ein vielfaches an Sternen sehen, die man mit bloßen Auge nicht mehr sieht. Auf freien Feld, in abgelegenen Gebieten sollte man noch mehr sehen können.
Jedoch empfehle ich direkt die notwendigen Filter (Mondfilter, etc.) mit zu bestellen. Als gute Ergänzung habe ich noch das Omegon Magnum Zoomokular 8-24mm 1,25'' bestellt, zum stufenlosen zoomen ohne ständige Okular Wechsel.
Die Steuerung des Teleskops (Ausrichtungssteuerung) kann man auch bequem via verbundenen Micro-USB Kabel und Notebook machen. Die entsprechende Software ist im Lieferumfang enthalten.
Zu der Align Funktion kann ich leider noch nichts sagen, weil ich die bis dato (ich habe das Teleskop erst 3 Wochen) nicht benötigt habe.
Die aufgenommenen Bilder wurden mit einer entsprechenden Handyhalterung aufgenommen, an der Aufnahmequalität arbeite ich noch ;)
Preis / Leistung absolut OK!
