I just recently bought a Celestron SE8 and when I eventually get it aligned I am going to have a ball.
I used all my new AA"s in a very short time so invested in a power pack 7 so I hope this time I can spend more time looking to the stars and beond.
It is so frustrating aligning up the 3 bright stars especially on a cloudy night. It took me all my time to get the first alignment and then the batteries let me down.
