The celestron computerized mount is the best suitable mount on the market today. This telescope for adults and kids to be used together is ideal for weekend camping trips or excursions to dark sky sites. It is closer to a classical f/15 refractor in terms of image quality than any other telescope design. The finder scope has an led that you can line up on anything you can see in the sky, then press the align button on the remote. It will blow fast ratio Newtonians out of the water for serious lunar, planetary and binary star observations.

You can see jupiter's moons and color bands, saturn and its rings and the orion nebula looks awesome in this telescope. The alignment is super easy and once aligned, you can use the controller to automatically point at a celestial body of your choice from its catalog. The visual back also has t-Threads which would allow the T-Adapter to screw directly into the visual Back. It comes with a fully computerized nexstar+ hand control.

• Tracks well and the computerized software is easy to use
• Very robust optics built like a tank and relatively service free
• Easy to put together, easy to operate, and the goto works well enough
• Computer control is very nice for tracking stars and planets

We would, of course, be remiss if we didn't mention celestron cpc xlt telescope for daily purpose. It is a great starter kit. Because it has a long focal ratio (f/10), with any given eyepiece you get a nice "close-up" view. It improves go-to accuracy and features and the optical quality. It is easy to use this to see planets or bright stars in the day. It is a great way to connect to people and possibly have access to eyepieces you can try out for yourself on your scope.

The fork mount is perfect for visual use since it can be setup very quickly. It has great focal length and wide field of view. It comes with a battery pack, only a car "cigarette lighter" style charger. You can take nice photos using only this scope, your dslr, and an adapter to mount your camera to the telescope.

• Database is sufficient to view anything you would want
• You may even pick the moon or bright planets
• A tiny star-like 7th magnitude point of light
