Its nice to have the extra 20mm for low light applications. Cost is a factor though, depends on what you want to use it for. I think the larger unit is better for a number of different aplications

I purchased the 100 MM and am very very pleased with it no problem seeing 22 holes at 50 yards even at a lower power

I answered this yesterday, but long story short, for what you are doing, I would go with the 80mm unit. You will be happy with it.

The Edge HD scope has a flatter field meaning the stars will stay sharp all the way to the edge of the view. For general observing, I would say the CPC is plenty, if you want to get into astrophotography, I would personally prefer the Edge HD version as your photos will be sharper at the edges. There is a lot of info explaining the differences on Celestron's website, I would read all of it before deciding.

If you are going to be a serious skywatcher/ stargazer, I would upgrade to a better telescope for sure. But if you bought the celestron firstscope for your children or grandchildren, just to get them interested in the universe around us, I would replace the lenses. Celestron may replace the broken lenses for you

Here is Aleksandr K. again. Look at some pictures I made using Celestron 5 MP (their sizes were reduced).https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.586148731439698.1073741832.100001337299954&type;=1&l;=b176410e3f

Bill, yours is a dud. Mine is rather accurate and isn't plagued by your technical issues. I can find galaxies that aren't visible to the naked eye with it quickly. That said, I actually don't own a Celestron telescope currently but instead those from other manufacturers. However, that isn't because I've experienced serious quality issues with Celestron scopes in the past.

I can't answer for the Meade version, but I was so pleased with my Celestron 8-24 mm zoom eyepiece I asked the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to also purchase one for their solar telescope. The volunteers who operate this telescope think its performance, reliability and ease of use are great.

Not familiar with the Celestron product, but I don't think the military zoom will work for you. It is good for up close looks. Not impressed for distances, you will need a tripod for it too.

I use this scope primarily for observing the sun (with solar filter of course) and also for viewing gun targets from a distance....if you are using the scope for viewing in low light the 100mm is definitely worth it....it is not that heavy....and a regular camera tripod supports it easily....I am quite happy with the performance of the scope....Jim

I can't answer your question, but I can add that I tried the Celestron against this model and returned the Celestron. The Celestron had some difficulty stabilizing the image. Also, the software bundled with the AM Scope camera is pretty good.

The 127 SLT is a little larger than the 90SLT. If that's what you're asking. When you get this scope it seems a little small, but it's a great scope.

Paul, thank you. From the specs alone, I agree, but I think there must be some significant difference between the two sets. The only thing I can see from the specs is something about the eyepiece adjustment.

Get the "Celestron 93402 T-Ring", it screws onto the eyepiece of the 52250 and the camera body of your nikon mounts onto it. Just make sure your Nikon has the "Nikon F mount" lens mount.

I am sorry, but I simply don't know. I reccomend you contact Celestron and get their reccos. Brgds, Geo

I could not get my Celestron XCel series 2X Barlow to focus. It was way beyond the focuser's travel and others have noted this but apparently Orion's Shorty 2X Barlow will work with this telescope as well as GSO 2x barlow from Agena AstroProducts. The useful magnification on this telescope is 200X but that is probably counting on optimum conditions. For planetary views with average conditions with a 100mm telescope, magnification of 100X to 120X are probably expected to be the clearest.

Hello, I would say the images for me are the same as I have the basic eyepieces and two sets of as you need two sets for the bino viewers but what I like is the eye relief that you get when looking through them and a almost 3d effect like you get when looking through binoculars. If you can afford it I would highly recomend it, not for just yourself but for other viewers as well. I have a Celestron 8SE and looking at Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, well its pretty awesome. My plan is to do astrophotography, if I was really into eyepieces I would go with the two inch and some nice Nagler eyepieces. Hope this helps, Good luck and dark skies.

I use the scope for target shooting. Low power vey clear at 25 yards, but gets a little blurry as you increase power at that range. At 100 yards all powers are very clear for general sighting. Have't tried on small objects past 25 yards tho.

Yeah, it'll work just fine. All of the Celestron, Orion, Astro-Tech, etc. scopes use the Vixen-style dovetail. Heck, a lot of those scopes come out of the same factories, and just get different brands stamped on them. And I know for a fact that this finder works with Celestron's NexStar 102 tube because I have both of them and have used them together. You're safe!
