The celestron powerseeker 127 at DSE is a very ordinary scope. It was recommended on a thread just the other day for a newbie even though it uses a spherical mirror and the much hated Jones-Bird system for doubling the focal length of an OTA by using a cheap barlow/corrector buit into the focuser.
Those that buy these types find collimation a real pain and even try modifying the scope with new OTAs etc, but in reality they are just cheap junk; and then theres the mount which will most likely disapoint.
The fact is you get what you pay for in this hobby. You really need to look to spend at least $350-400 to get a decent scope or maybe a little less secondhand. IMO ~$220 for the DSE scope is a waste when you could get a 6" Dob from Andrews or similar for about $350
