Celestron C6-S GT XLT Advanced Series 6 Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope Review

This is my first telescope. It arrived in 3 well packed boxes. I did take the time to read the instruction manual first and I recommend you do the same.

Assembly and set up was easy. There are many ways to align this telescope. I chose quick align so I could start playing with the controller. Don't worry about messing something up just get familiar with it.

I then used the utility "factory settings" to reset everything back to the way it was out of the box. I then chose the alignment procedure and all the options I wanted to use and set them up correctly this time.

The telescope tracks beautifully and the view is stunning. You will be very pleased with this telescope.

The equatorial mount , which contains all the functionality, comes with an extra dovetail mounting plate. So you can mount another telescope you may have instead of this one and turn it into a computerized unit if you desire.

I am setting my telescope up in a corner of a store room at my home that i have converted into a roll off roof observatory.

The whole thing breaks down into a tripod, equatorial mount, and telescope for transporting if you desire to make it portable.
