I have had a Celestron Nexstar 11 for about 3.5 years now. I am quite pleased with it, optics are great and has been very reliable. I haven't yet had any problems that I couldn't fix myself -- all I've had to replace so far is the power connector. I use mine a fair amount, 3 or 4 nights a week weather permitting. I selected the Nexstar11 as it was the largest, lightest scope I could comfortably handle and set up by myself (all parts are less than about 60 lbs). Thanks Phil!

What do you think of the NexStar telescopes? I am looking to buy a new one and the NexStar is one that I am considering. Those are spectacular pictures. What do you think of the NexStar telescopes?
