  • Incredible!!
First of all I would like to extend my many thanks and appreciation to Mr. Stephen Franks for his helpful advice in collimating this telescope because when I received it, it was very much out of adjustment. This is my first telescope I have purchased and have been a long-time lover of Astronomy since my teenage years, I am 52 years old now, lol. I would like to first begin with saying that the quality of this telescope is absolutely incredible. It probably goes without saying that the many Celestron products are so, but I was completely blown away by what I had purchased. I did a lot of research and found that this was a very good refractor. Although I did discover that it was not a good telescope for deep sky astrophotography, I decided in its favor anyway thinking that I could perform “Stacked” astrophotography to make up for its shortcomings due to its F/8 focal length. When Mr. Franks described this beast as a “yard cannon”, it is very much true. First Light. I initially set up this telescope 3 months after I purchased it. Between the incredibly horrible Ohio weather, my demanding job, and a beautiful wife that has an enormous “Honey, You Better DO, List”, I finally got to set this monster up in my back yard. Assembling it about two hours before nightfall, it quickly got the attention of both my next door neighbors. Unfortunately they weren’t around 6 hours later to see a beautiful 3rd quarter crescent moon. I did manage to wake my wife at 0300 hrs to see not only that incredible moon, but also Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars. She was completely blown away as I was. The views are incredible. As far as deep sky objects, I have ventured that far. I have just purchased a Canon DSLR because I want to actually take pictures/exposures of what I see. I haven’t had this out much, matter of fact only twice since March, for reasons previously explained. But thus far I have no complaints whatsoever. All of what the two gentlemen stated in their reviews is correct, very much true. I would only add the following: This telescope is by no means easily transportable in a small car if you are looking to venture away from home in search of darker skies. It is truly BIG. Once you set this up, be sure you set it up correctly before aligning it to the stars, i.e. leveling. It shouldn’t be moved at all. If you feel you have to move it, take great care because it does weigh close to 100 lbs. and very awkward if lifted. Although I purchased the Celestron Power Tank, buy the AC adapter so it can be plugged into an outlet. I will eventually use the power tank in the field when I get the time to do so. This is an Awesome telescope. No regrets about purchasing it whatsoever. ... show more

  • Good pairing of telescope and mount!
The C6R telescope is a good, not great telescope. The AVX mount is a very good, not great mount. Together the pair is a good combination for routine backyard viewing. The C6R is almost 5 ft 6 in long which makes transporting it anywhere in a vehicle rather problematic. The AVX mount with the 2" aluminum tripod legs is a very solid platform and performs quite well with the relatively light C6R OTA mounted on it, although balancing it during initial setup can be tricky as a one person operation - it's just long and the CoG is way towards the non-eyepiece end. Take time to balance the telescope with the eyepiece end as close to the mount as possible (particularly in the DEC axis) - this will reduce the likelihood that the eyepiece end will collide with one of the tripod legs while the scope is slewing to objects near the zenith. As with any standard refractor there is noticeable chromatic aberration (CA) and color fringing of bright objects (Moon, Venus, Jupiter) This can be reduced / eliminated by either using the smaller aperture end cap or an eyepiece filter set. Finally, expect at least a month of cloudy nights immediately after you purchase this combination... it's the new telescope curse! :-) ... show more

  • Impress the neighbors!
Beautiful scope. One of the scope mount rings arrived with a bent screw, had to send the whole thing back, got a replacement. I got mine when they were $999.
