NexStar 127SLT Computerized Telescope

Product Review (submitted on June 10, 2012):

Advantages:
- Easy setup
- Light weighted (Travel-Telescope!)
- Easy to use Goto-System (only little knowledge about the stars needed)

Disadvanages:
- a little bit shacky
- Focussing at higher magnification is difficult; you have to be patient!
- Handling of the handbox could be better (could be optimized in future firmware-versions hopefully!)
- Collimation (if needed) of the main-mirror is complicated. Normally no really need for adjusting the optics.
- No good choice for taking astro-photos

I personally recommend this telescope for people, who don't want to spend too much time for finding objects. The optical quality is very good (much better than expected for the low price!)
I would not give this telescope away anymore!
