CELESTRON C8-SGT

bylevelone Feb 21, 2008
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 8 inch superior mirror. Quality, Reflector light collection superb.
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

This is a wonderful scope. Compact enough to transport and take to dark places. This is not a cheap or inexpensive scope by any means. It is expensive but you get what you pay for. You can spend a lot less, you can spend a ton more. But.. For the money, this has to be the best scope around. I have... Read full review »

Very Nice

Pros Slewing is excellent, views are terrific. Price is right.
Cons You will need dark skies for very faint deep space objects.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a real nice scope that gives nice clean views. I'd prefer a bit more aperature (who wouldn't) but for the price you will get some very nice viewing. Even in my backyard with the five street lights bleaching things out I can still get good detail on some of the brighter deep space objects... Read full review »

Excellent Scope

bysailingshot Apr 22, 2005
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great views, workable mount, fairly easy to transport and set up.
Cons Display on controller could be better, cables are somewhat cheaply made
Recommended it? Yes

People who run out and buy these scopes when first released show little experience with the market. ALWAYS wait a year or more to buy. I even apply this rule to digital cameras with a 6 month rule. Wait until bugs are worked out!
This 8 inch entry from Celestron works very well. On our first... Read full review »

Very Immature Product

byeastindw Nov 7, 2003
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lowest cost scope of its kind, Sturdy tripod, Quality optics
Cons Celestron has severe quality control problems with mount, poor quality manufacturing
Recommended it? No

I picked the C8SGT because it had a sturdier mount than Celestron's Cxi series. This in combination with an equatorial mount and a sturdy tripod would make it better for astrophotography than say a Cxi or a Meade LXD55. In addition, it was around $750 cheaper than a fork mounted Meade LX200 GPS or... Read full review »

Fantastic Scope

bybigblue63 Sep 9, 2003
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent tracking. Pleasant to look at. Easy setup.
Cons No AC adapter included. Included manuals that don't apply to this scope.
Recommended it? Yes

I pre-ordered this scope in June, and received it in August. I am very awed at this scope due to it's quality and good looks. It came in three boxes and was fairly easy to setup. I have viewed through this scope on a few nights and find the views breathtaking. I love the ease of the 40,000 object... Read full review »

Great Scope!

Pros Near perfect tracking, go-to, and tripod. Best optics around.
Cons Hmmm. Can't think of any right now!!!
Recommended it? Yes

This scope is wonderful...I truly recommend it. Tracking and Go-To are 99% perfect. Tripod is more than stable enough for the scope. Optics are jaw-dropping... One of the best around. Read full review »
