What kind of telescope do you own?

[ZandraJoi]

If you don't own one, what type would you want? I've had my Celestron NexStar 8SE Telescope for over a year now. I couldn't use it too much at first as the Go-To was screwy. We had to send it in to be looked at. They fixed it & I'm always looking for a chance to use it! We tried the Celestron Astromaster 114EQ but equatorial mounts are fickle for me. I have a Spotting Scope that I used but I use that just for birdwatching now. I finally was able to buy more eyepieces & filters to better look at the moon & stars. I may get one for sun viewing, a solar filter. They say watching the solar flares & sun spots can be quite fascinating!

I don't own one but I'd like to! Where did you buy yours from?

It was Celestron's factory outlet store but seems that is defunct now. But I have bought from Celestron's website.
