   A costly lesson

   Update as on 31.Oct.2015: celestron has given up on my support and told me to check with local astronomy club to setup the telescope.Update as on 21.oct.2015: It has been more than 45 days now. I have been in touch with celestron support; with the exception of motor speed adjustment issue, I am still pleagued by goto alignment issue. The company is yet to acknowledge star pointer switch issue. I have to switch it on and off multiple times to get it working.I purchased nexstar 5se telescope and had it delivered on 3.Sept.2015 (India). I have had trouble with it from day 1. The following are the issues.1. Battery life is low: The battery power does not last more than 10 to 15 minutes. I have wasted 4 sets of batteries. I had read about this issue when I was reading reviews, but not everyone had this issue.Solution: I was told to use high amperage batteries by the vendor. (Looks like I need to have a separate budgeting every month just to buy batteries) OR buy a celestron powertank.2. Poor response from motors: The remote works fine when I change the directions of the telescope without any problems. As soon as I try to use skyalign, the motor response become extremely slow. The issue starts when I try to align the 2nd object and continues into 3rd object. I tried using celestron powertank and had the same issue.3. Skyalign does not work: I have tried using skyalign technology; 8 out of 9 times, it has failed to align. The one time it aligned, the telescope was pointing everything in the wrong direction.4. Trembling tripod: The tripod trembles under slightest of wind. There is lot of shaking when I try to focus the object on the OTA.5. Star finderscope has shortcomings: The object located at the center of Finderscope does not aligh with OTA. There is loose connection in the switch.6. I am really surprised there is no power adapter given along with the product. Looks like the battery issue is a known problem with your product. Please include atleast in future packages as it provides backup to your customers.I am very unhappy with the overall product with the exception of the optics. It has been 12 days and I have not had a single day I was able to enjoy the telescope. I had read very bad support reviews for Celestron. My only hope now is that, the product has 2 year warranty and expect it to make it work some time in the future.A costly bitter lesson.

   Celestron 5se

   Hola a todos, recibí el telescopio vendido por Amazon ,en muy buen estado, como el cuidado que han tenido de traerlo de reino Unido sin arañazos y nada que se suele encontrar en un pedido de tantos km en tan perfectas condiciones. E leído las reseñas de muchos compradores como yo, y tenía mis dudas ,pero con la confianza de devolución en caso de venir mal,pues me decidí a comprarlo y muy contento con el producto,calidad celestron!!!Básicamente viene como si lo compraras en la misma tienda celestron ( bien colimado)y si, viene con 1 ocular pero no se acaba el mundo hay muchas variedades de oculares y estos son caretes ,pero es como todo en esta vida,se paga la calidad si vas a darle 1 uso frecuente,si no, hay más variedades de fabricantes.El telescopio de calidad ,la montura es perfecta para este tubo y la goto funciona perfectamente y si le sumas el módulo WiFi, mejor que mejor. Todo correcto y quien tenga duda,que no se lo piense.

   A good product and good service from Amazon.

   The Amazon price was amazing and I’m not surprised it went up by almost $900, a day or two after I bought it. Delivery was quick in the US and slowed up a bit in Australia, but that’s to be expected. We’re still using camel trains to transport goods and most communication is done between two tin cans with a few hundred kilometres of string between them.The telescope was well packaged and took about 15 minutes to put together. One of the retaining screws for the Star Diagonal is missing but I’m pretty sure I can find something that will fit.I have only had a chance to test it terrestrially because of rain at night but I’m sure it will be fine.If Celestron and almost every other corporation on the planet didn’t gouge Australians so badly on price I’d buy locally but it looks like Amazon is going to get more of my business.

   Great telescope for beginners

   Great telescope for a full year now. I brought the 5” because it fits my budget and is much more portable than the 6″ & 8″. The telescope arrived in two boxes and was packaged well. It was quite easy to assemble and was straightforward. But the first night when I tested it the red dot finder failed and would not turn on. I contacted product support and they refunded the price of the red dot finder to let me buy another. I think this is reasonable.The telescope was of good quality and was fairly portable in two pieces. I also brought it with the Nex-yz adapter and eyepiece kit. In my opinion, I would not buy the phone adapter and eyepiece kit because I don’t use the adapter and eyepiece often. You will pretty much only use the moon filter, 13, 17, and 32mm eyepieces. I also brought a generic LPR filter which helps somewhat in revealing dim objects and filtering out the light pollution.The goto function was really helpful in finding objects especially DSO’s. I will use the auto 2 star alignment procedure and manual location settings.This scope was fine for starting astrophotography but exposures can only be limited to 30 seconds maximum. Even though there was a polar alignment option, it was really hard to do since I am living quite close to the equator in Hong Kong and the mount twists into a really weird position when tracking.In the first few months I viewed only from the city, which was a bortle 9 scale. The planets are easy to see, you can see the belts of Jupiter and its moons, and the rings of Saturn easily. If you want a telescope for ONLY the planets, I would recommend some of the scopes without go to like a dobsonian or maktusov because you will be able to see more detail with increased aperture. You don’t need go-to because planets are really bright and sometimes the mount will go off track. The Orion Nebula can be seen though only the bright parts. The andromeda galaxy can NOT be seen at all in light polluted places.Later I was able to go out to a better spot ( bortle 5 ) and it was excellent, and I was able to see the double cluster, Orion Nebula and andromeda galaxy a lot better. I would recommend this scope to beginners and people starting astronomy. You can get good results in the middle of the city, but driving to a deep sky site really makes the view impressive. I will not recommend this for astrophotography but instead will recommend scopes with German equatorial mounts.* images are taken with A6000 camera with remote control.

   Fenomenal, muy manejable e intuitivo y como soy nuevo en esto te permite observar sin complicaciones de alineaciones, lo plantas y a mirar. Encantado, como se suele decir el mejor telescopio es el que usas, creo que este este es el tamaño limite, a veces lo saco para solo unos minutos, no da pereza. Solo hace falta un buen cielo.
