   Completely false. Celestron has the best support in the industry. It is also the only vertically integrated company in the field with very well established supply chain. Lastly, NexStar SE series are the best computerized series and are (will be) well support for many years to come.

   I read a comment by another youTube user warning not buy anything Celestron because if you accidentaly break something, it’s impossible to get spare parts from them! Is this true?

   I saw this video first time yesterday and decided the 8″ Nexstar SE wasn’t cumbersome so I’ve just bought one. Thanks.

   Yes, technically you can move it manually, but there is no slow motion controls or anything like that that would allow you to utilize it as a true “manual” telescope.

    I think that is a wondeful telescope and presentation. I had a Celestron C8 on a graet polaris mount. It did not have a computer or a drive. You had to use star charts with a red flaslight and learn how to find objects on your own. Called star hopping. Anyone interested in a telescope might want to consider not having a computer assisted telescope. You learn a lot more and are given the satisfaction of finding objects on your own. Which to me was the fun and adventure of it. Either way have fun.
