If you've purchased a motorized Goto scope from Celestron, this is an absolute necessity if you plan on observing from your deck/patio often.

However, if the majority of your planned observing will take place in a field (i.e. far from an outlet). I would bypass this and go straight for the Power Tank or car adapter. Also, if you plan on doing a lot of observing from a deck, I highly recommend the vibration suppression pads, because you'd be surprised how much even a well-built deck will vibrate as you or others walk across it.

All that being said, this product does what it says and comes in handy when observing near an outlet. You don't need to worry about draining batteries or a rechargeable power supply. The only con I would include is that this should have been a supplied accessory in the first place, rather than having to pay extra for it.

              Customer Q & A

              Q1: Will this work with a CPC 1100?

              A: Yes, the Celestron AC adapter will work just fine with a CPC 1100.

              Q2: Does this power supply work in NZ with 240V power supply?

              A: The AC Adapter for Computerized Celestron Telescopes won't work with New Zealand's house current. You'd need a power converter to lower the voltage to 110 volts.

              Q3: Is this compatible with the original NexStar 8 (that is, pre-dating the 8i and later models)?

              A: Yes, the AC Adapter for Computerized Celestron Telescopes works with the NexStar 8.
