The telescope was easy to assemble and is very handsome and lightweight. Easy to calibrate. Easier to transport than my old heavy one. Excellent eyepieces.

Solidly built, doesn't take up much space. I use this to attach the Hoodman Loupe Kit Crane to the back of a Sony A7S. You couldn't adjust the loupe kit appropriately without this thing. Good job Movo!

I'm happy with my purchase of these binoculars.  The optics are fine and I've enjoyed looking through them.  You must have a heavy duty tripod or they are useless - don't expect to hold them in your hands and get a steady view.  As you zoom in the focus changes slightly and the field of view narrows considerably.  I also have trouble using binoculars in general and often use a single eye.  I think I might have been happier spending the same money on a decent spotting scope.  But I don't regret this purchase and am enjoying having something so portable for nights I don't want to set up my telescope, or when I want to view larger phenomenon.

My old 2" reflector telescope just died, and my daughter needed to complete an Astronomy 205 lab, so I ran out to a big box store and bought this handy-dandy little pair of binoculars. I love the view! We were able to see dozens of stars in the Pleiades cluster, 3 of Jupiter's moons, and even a tiny little cloudy object that was the Andromeda Galaxy. The craters on the moon were quite dramatic, too.

Pros:
* 10x magnification with 25mm objective lens yields excellent visibility.
* No problem with my eyeglasses. I just removed them, adjusted the binocular focus, and voila, they became my glasses. Close your right eye, set the focus for the left eye, and then make any adjustments for the right eye with the diopter.
* Easy to carry and light.
* Inexpensive and sturdy enough to give as a gift to an 8 year-old.

Cons:
* 10x magnification means you need to prop your elbows or hands to keep a steady view.
* No tripod adapter.

If I had paid $100 for these, I would rate it 3 or 4 stars. But for $10, it's a 5-star value.

This is a review specifically for the Celestron PS 114mm EQ.

I got this as a gift from my daughter. After using it a few nights, I did check the mirror collimation with the $28 Celestron 1.25" collimation  eyepiece (which I already had).  The mirror alignment was very very close, so it needed only minimal adjustment which had no observable effects.

 On the third night I was able to see the moon (again) and the Orion nebula at various magnification (20mm eyepiece with and without Barlow). I was also able to see - with a Celestron Ploessel 9mm eyepiece - Jupiter and it four moons, the two main cloud stripes on Jupiter itself, and maybe some weaker ones. And the shadow of one moon on Jupiter itself, a tiny black dot near one of the poles.

 I do like the lightweight aluminum mount as well, it is solid if the legs are not completely extended, and it is light enough to carry around without getting a hernia. The finder scope works well for me, just in case I re-align it every time I take the telescope out.

This telescope is very sharp, and a very good value right out of the box. And easy to focus. Five stars!!

EDIT: Recently (February) I did buy and install the Celestron motor drive ($33 on Amazon) and it works perfectly. Once the motor drive speed is adjusted properly with the small knob (which is fairly easy to do), it keeps say Jupiter centered for close to an hour with a 7mm eyepiece. Note that the drive speed only needs to be set once, for a given latitude.

Note that the Celestron 127EQ and 114EQ are quite similar in design and price, nevertheless this one has a much longer tube and does not have a correcting eyepiece in the focus tube, which seems to make it significantly sharper, or at least much easier to collimate.

Recently (April) I got an inexpensive laser collimator (lk1 from seben dot com, identical to the orion lasermate) and tried it on this scope, even though it did not seem to need it. The whole job is very easy, takes less than 5-10 mins if you know what to do (there is no focuser lens in the focusing tube, this is NOT a Bird-Jones design!). The adjustments were minimal and there was no noticeable change in sharpness, as I said above mine was flawless out of the box. Look in the picture section to see my recent picture of Jupiter.

 Best additions to this telescope are imo the $30 Celestron motor drive (I love it!), a better quality achromatic $40 Celestron 2x Omni Barlow, and a 9mm Celestron Omni eyepiece($20 ; the telescope seems capable of a lot more than what the rather basic included eyepieces suggest). You will then be in telescope heaven, for very little money.

I have also found that this scope is quite well suited to astrophotography of the planets, in my case in combination with the very reliable Celestron clock drive (have not changed a battery yet on that on in three months of use) and an inexpensive webcam (a logitech C310 in my case).

PS. Added pictures of Jupiter and the Moon (April 2014). Added more pictures of Jupiter and Mars, on the latter I can clearly see one of the polar ice caps (April 2014). Took a nice picture of the Cassini division on Saturn (May 2014). Added another excellent picture I got of Jupiter on a very clear day (March 2015), you can clearly see multiple rings as well as details of the main ring clouds.

I have the IEQ30 Pro. Works beautifully. Three-star alignment in latest firmware update compensates for cone error quite well. When aligned using a cheap crosshair eyepiece available here on Amazon (Solomark 12.5mm Illuminated Crossaim Reticle Plossl Telescope Eyepiece) gotos are within the center of an medium power eyepiece. It is quite lightweight for its capabilities. I use it for Celestron C8 and Orion Apex 127 optical tubes. Polar alignment is as simple as it gets. I use a simple 6000mah 12V rechargeable battery, also available here on Amazon (Talentcell Rechargeable 6000mAh Li-Ion Battery Pack) which powers the mount through quite a number of slews and at least 4-5 hours of tracking if not more (I've never used it for more time, but there was no indication I was running out of juice). You'll be happy with the purchase.

Good metal adaptor, with both my Celestron and Bushnell binoculars. I don't understand why one would need to spend any more for such a solid adaptor.  Not a big fan of low end BARSKA optics, but love this simple, rugged adaptor.

Solid build, easy to attach. Well worth what I spent

The tool is very well built and is solid- it has fly nut adjusters all over to help you get everything into the right place. It works and the magnifier is well located and the proper magnification that I can stand over my work and place the glass between my eye and it and it is in focus...

I'm very happy with this purchase.  My wife and kids wanted to try some stargazing, and I wanted to save some money.  From reviews I read here, I thought the scope optics were pretty good as long as they were collimated correctly, but expected the mount to be a little shaky and hard to use, and knew the eyepieces were not very good.  I just happened to have a full set of orthoscopic eyepieces 25 - 10 - 6 - 4 mm.  30 years ago, these were considered to be pretty good quality.  I was completely pleased to find the scope exactly as expected.

The good news is that the optics are very good for a $115 scope.  At first, I thought my collimation was off just looking through the eyepiece, but when first trained overhead on a star, diffraction patterns were clear and well centered using a 6mm orthoscopic eyepiece.  The difficulty in checking star images is the general shakiness of the mounting that takes several seconds to clear after changing focus.  This scope is short for it's 5 inch spherical mirror (F:4), and uses a corrector/barlow lens to stretch itself out to a 1 meter focal length.  This makes the scope much more portable, but is hard to adjust the optics if they ever get bumped out of place.  I don't like the push/pull screws that are used for adjusting both mirrors at all, they will be hard to adjust.

The German equatorial mounting is pretty decent given the low price.  It has all the intricate adjustments possible, and all of them need to be tightened properly to minimize shake.  The setting circles are very small and hard to read.  The scope balances with the counterweight fully extended, so more weight would need to be added if I use a heavier eyepiece.  The slow motion control work surprisingly well, but the grease used gets very sticky in cold weather as I found out the other night.  Best to clean off the grease and replace with something better.  The focusing mechanism is very good, which surprised me, since so many complain about it.

The included eyepieces/barlow lens are very poor, and probably the cause of most of the focusing difficulties people have.  Poor field of view and soft image quality result even with the 20mm eyepiece.  At this units low price, this should be no surprise.  The 4mm and barlow are even worse.  Borrow a set of eyepieces from a friend.

All in all, I like the design very much.  I won't even complain about the finder, since I used it okay.  Line it up pointing at some terrestrial object through an open window and lock down the adjustments before you take it out under the sky.  It has many very nice touches and is a very attractive looking device.  It looks cool sitting out in our living room when not in use.

I used this mount with my Optoma HD131Xe. Installing it is straightforward and the components are good quality, but I had some trouble with aligning my projector (it would not hang level because I didn't have enough freedom with the projector clamps to move the center of mass enough). With some DIY modifications I got it to work though, and even with loads of heavy cables hanging from it, the unit is sturdy.

Good strong tripod for telescope and camera.  Simple function that works well for me

Very strong construction with positive click power knob for the red or green dot. The dot isn't super crisp but i have bad eyes anyway. Just a slight blur with mine at every eye relief distance. No play on any of the parts and would seem to hold a zero on my ar mounting wise ( have not fired it wih this scope yet). The main reason for this purchase was the top ghost ring sights attached. This allows me to shoot right handed while using my left eye, i am left eye dominant. I can switch eyes without removing my cheek weld.

Aligning a Celestron GOTO telescope "by hand" is a time-consuming drag, and difficult to do in light-polluted environments like the one I live in.  The StarSense auto-aligner turns that task into a 2-3 minute hands-off experience that requires minimal set-up by the user.

I do have one big caveat.  When I attempted my first alignment, it failed miserably, and the software in StarSense had altered the latitude of my location (which I had previously typed in as part of the set-up).  Upon going to Celestron Support, I found out that I needed to upgrade the firmware for the StarSense.  It turned out that the firmware in the one I bought from Amazon was dated 2014, and there had been six subsequent upgrades published by Celestron.  Fortunately, I know enough about computers so that the task of upgrading the firmware was not too difficult.  After that the auto-alignment performed very well.  That Celestron took the trouble to do six upgrades in four years is a tribute to their support team, but that does seem like a lot of upgrades.

Now that the power of the GOTO feature of my telescope has been enhanced by fast and accurate auto-alignment, I expect I will be using my telescope a lot more than I have been.

Have used it minimally so far. Arrived in solid packaging, though the LED light was on...but extra batteries were included and battery access is pretty simple: The batteries are arranged on the inner-wall under the top eyepiece, which screws off. The clarity of the lenses and reticles is good, and the product feels solid. The threads are very fine, so replacing the measuring scales, one should be careful not to cross thread. The measuring scales are well-protected in plastic cases, but the wooden box that the whole kit comes in is just a bit chintzy.

I read the reviews on another website and I decided to buy them here because of Amazon's price ,guarantee and service. they are decent quality for $60. they feel heavy(in a good way) and have excellent optics. they state on the Zhumell website that they have BAK-4 prisms which are better than the more common BK-7's. one cool feature is the ability to mount them on a tripod(with an optional adaptor i purchased elsewhere). there are two reasons i didn't give them 5 stars: 1.the eye cups aren't deep enough(short eye relief) and are hard to fold back. 2. the numbers 10-30 on the binoculars don't align perfectly with zoom lever. other than these two minor flaws i'm glad i purchased them.
