Extraordinary instrument! - Celestron NexStar Evolution 8 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

I ordered this as a Christmas present to replace a Celestron Omni 120XLT refractor. I'm very pleased with its clarity, ease of use, and construction. The ability to use the SkyPortal app makes this a winner and no-brainer if you want to learn the sky without use setting circles. I had a NexStar 8se many years ago, and this scope is much more solid.

The 63-pound package arrived in perfect condition, and as promised (I paid for expedited shipping).

Very pleased with my purchase.
