My first scope three months ago was exactly the same one, Celestron 102SLT. It got me hooked and I have just taken the plunge to a Meade LX90GPS, all I need now is some clear sky.

If I may make a suggestion. Go to your nearest Supa Cheap/Auto Barn type store and get yourself a re-chargeable 12V jump starter kit. The one I have has two cigarette lighter sockets (cost around $90 from memory). The reason I did this is the little refractor is pretty hard on batteries. I got the brother in-law to bung in a red LED to the standard light socket. The standard lead and plug that came with my kit plugs straight into the 102SLT.
