It Works
I am a telemetry engineer and have a lot of experience with tracking antennas. I found the Celestron sky align and tracking to be extreamly poor. It is not usable. It can only get you within the general vicinity of an object +/- 10degrees. So you better have your finder scope very well aligned and know exactly what your looking at if you expect to put an object into your field of view. We had to use my sons iTouch app to find all but the most obvious objects.
Pros: Good for the Price
Cons: Sky Align is very poor
Solid platform!
Came well packed - double outside box eithin a box - which held the Celestron scope in it's own Celestron box.
Assembly instructions were straight forward and easy to follow.
Missing were the Starry Night CD and the software CD for the hand control.

Poor AC Adapter
I received a NexStar 127SLT telescope for Christmas this past December. After opening the box, I found it did not come with an AC/DC power adapter, and most reviewers said it was crucial to purchase one. I decided to order one from Celestron in order to make sure it was compatible. The adapter came, complete with Celestron’s name attached. Between weather and not having enough time for setup and tear down, I have only used the telescope for a total of 30 minutes. I was setting it up (putting in longitude and latitude, etc.) a few days ago, and when I moved it outside and plugged it in, the handheld controller started flashing, and none of the buttons worked. I looked up this condition and saw that it says when you have this situation it indicates the AC power adapter is bad, and needs to be replaced. 30 Minutes!!
Pros:
- I loved seeing the two things I got to see before the adapter failed
Cons:
- Poor quality AC adapter
Best Used for:
- Hanging clothes, now
Would recommend: No

Nextstar 127SLT Maksutov-Cassegrain
This Scope has excellent optics. The tripod is shaky but it may be reduced with the anti-vibration pads. I would recommend this scope to any newcomer and Amateur and it is lite so you could take it anywhere. I am surprised on the Quality of the optics. The stars are like pin-points and the planets focus superbly. Excellent Scope for the money.
Pros: Lite-Weight, Excellent views, Pin Point Stars, Nice goto
Cons: Shaky Tripod, No Case,

great product unless you have a question
Do not attempt to get the manufacturer to help. They are in business only because their product is so wonderful.
Pros: wonderful telescope. I get a new thrill just about every time I use it.
Cons: A little difficult to get the computer star finder to work. No help from the factory (beyond rude...spent nearly two hours on hold and still got nothing but nasty E-mail comments. Even the distributer had no idea what the problem was. Took a while but now works beautifully.

Very satisfied!
I got this telescope for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. Every night he goes out on the lanai to observe & is so excited over the ability of the telescope to track and find the galaxies. He can see the red spot on Jupiter. Absolutely love this.
Pros: Very user friendly, lots of room for growth, consistancy is amazing.

Quality Scope for the price
Great scope for the price. This is a 127mm Maksutov Design with great optics. Colours are APO like. I can use on planetary up to 250X magnification without loss of details. The only issue is the mount seem to be a bit fragile to carry this big sized OTA. But for visual use it will be more than sufficient.
Pros: Excellent optics
Cons: Bad Mount
