Celestron Advanced C6-SGT Telescope . This is my first telescope. It arrived in 3 well packed boxes. I did take the time to read the instruction manual first and I recommend you do the same.
Assembly and set up was easy. There are many ways to align this telescope. I chose quick align so I could start playing with the controller. Don't worry about messing something up just get familiar with it.
I then used the utility "factory settings" to reset everything back to the way it was out of the box. I then chose the alignment procedure and all the options I wanted to use and set them up correctly this time.
The telescope tracks beautifully and the view is stunning. You will be very pleased with this telescope.
The equatorial mount , which contains all the functionality, comes with an extra dovetail mounting plate. So you can mount another telescope you may have instead of this one and turn it into a computerized unit if you desire.
I am setting my telescope up in a corner of a store room at my home that i have converted into a roll off roof observatory.
The whole thing breaks down into a tripod, equatorial mount, and telescope for transporting if you desire to make it portable.

Celestron 11079XLT C6-S GT XLT Advanced Series 6in Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope Reviews
Very Nice Telescope . I initially started with the Celestron 6SE, which was also a great telescope, but soon thereafter discovered how addictive astrophotography was. With the 6SE being an Alt-Azi mount, I was unable to attempt any type of long exposure astrophotography. When I upgraded to the C6-S Advanced, all of that changed. This telescope and mount is amazing. After the easy alignment and calibration, it finds and tracks objects in the sky like a blood hound on steroids!!!! The optics are crystal clear, and the go to equatorial mount is just great (a little loud when slewing) but great. This package also comes with an extra dovetail mount in case you want to strap another telescope to it. After a little fine tuning, this mount performs miracles. Overall this is a fantastic piece of equipment. My only suggestion is for Celestron to include an AC adapter instead of only a DC car adapter. Many of us would like to get to know the telescope in our backyards before we pack it up and take it in the car. Other than that minor issue, and hopes for more included accessories, Great Job Celestron. I am and will continue to be a loyal customer.
