    Too shaky of a mount.

    This scope is an exercise in frustration. If you get one with the mirrors in alignment, I didn't, but knew how to collimate them, the mount becomes the issue. Pretty hard to see with everything shaking because the mount just won't stay still even in a light wind. Every time you touch it, off it goes. Scope is fine, but mount is not.

    Its Main Selling Point Doesnt Work

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This telescope is marketed as using star tracking software and as allowing astrophotography...its why you would choose this over other models...and yet its main selling features dont work. 1) The software (which uses the camera) is out of date and does not currently work with no indication that they are attempting to update it. 2) Their photography apparatus to attach the phone does match the magnification of your eyepiece. Its akin to using the zoom on your camera. For that reason, Its main selling point, it is a hard pass.

    This telescope will collect dew and once it does the whole telescope is ruined. Contacted celestron to talk about a replacement they said since I bought it through BestBuy I’m unable to get support. William optics is the best choice in my book
