Did not work - returned the yoke to Celestron - very disappointed - they are going to fix a brand new item instead of replacing with new working one!! Wouldn't know how to rate a brand new non-working item. Disappointed with your company that had to return whole thing not just the non-working item!!!

Love this scope! Taught my son how to use it and he mastered it very quickly! Now he can't stop looking out the window at stars. Free shipping is amazing too.

Could not use out of box. Focuser defective and cannot turn know without a lot of force. Nor support from Celestron on phone or email. Missing user manual and software. Motor cheap and will not holder heavier scopes. This scope is much poorer than the 5i. The 6 and 8 inch has much better motor. Will return this.

After buying a competitor's small goto scope, I was not happy with ease of setup, stability, or accuracy of mount. Returned to OpticsPlanet, and they got me my NexStar 5SE in one day with free shipping!! The NexStar 5Se is all i would ever want in a small ultra portable scope, and the customer service and return process at OpticsPlanet is unbelieveable. I will always look to OpticsPlanet first for any astronomy needs I have, as once you find a great scope along with great service, why go any place else? Thanks Guys, I have spent more time with the 5SE this summer than any summer with my C-8 ever.
