Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron NexStar 114 SLT Computerized Telescope
Customer Review: Beginner Telescope
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this for our children a few months ago. Great way to get started into astronomy, has tons of additional components you can purchase to extend it's power, as well as photo equipment. No problems at all with it so far.Customer Review: Bahr

First time I have ever seen the Moon.
Would highly recomend it to anyone.
Customer Review: Wouldn't buy Celestron again.
Summary: 3 Stars
I used this for the first time a couple of days ago, and after about 20 minutes of trying to align it to Polaris, and other stars, it failed. It moves pretty slow. I didn't try changing the slew rate at that time, it might have been better.
Thankfully, the moon was visible shortly after, and did align properly.
After having the computer move it to Jupiter, it stopped azimuth movement (right and left). It still moves up and down. I tried some troubleshooting, to no avail.
Since it doesn't move without the computer, when it breaks, you can't use it.
I emailed Celestron 2 times using the support form on their website, and haven't received a reply, not even a "we'll get with you shortly" email.
I will be sending it back to Amazon when I can get it all packed back up.
So, the telescope seems powerful enough, and was easy to use. Build quality is good. I was planning to get a T adapter for some Astrophotography, but I think I'll have to choose another manufacture.
Unfortunately, Celestron doesn't appear to want to support their product.
