Gregory Quist's Review of Celestron NexStar Evolution 9.25 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope

Love this telescope and mount. My other largest scope prior was 125mm (5 inch). This 9.25 inch "EVO" and incredibly sturdy tripod is easy to move from the house to outside for viewing. The internal Wifi combined with the phone/pad Skyportal App where your phone/pad controls everything (alignment, go-to, manual slewing) and has the whole sky info on it while knowing your lat/long and time is incredible. Makes everything easy.
I am still learning though, on ensuring my alignment is good so tracking the object does not drift out of view in the eyepiece. It takes 3 Star align as standard, but can add up to 10 stars... that ought to make it REAL precise. I have found (probably due to something I am doing wrong) that a large swing from one point in the sky to one 150 or so degrees away does not "find it" centered, and adjustment by the finderscope is necessary. Again, it is probably something I am doing wrong having brought it out only twice so far. It seems the Skyportal should make it EXACTLY in the center after successful 3-star align... I will keep trying. Views of Orion Nebula, Jupiter, Moon are spectacular!!
