    The diagonal mirror plate mounting holes were striped,but customer service rep. at telescope.com worked with me and ordered another diagonal mirror for me so I didn't have too re box the telescope and send it back. Other than that it is one great telescope,heavy duty and functions perfectly.

          Comments about Celestron NexStar 127 SLT Computerized Telescope:

          Although this is touted as being useful for terrestrial use, it isn't. It is STRICTLY an astronomical telescope and should be used as such. It is very easy to use, reasonably accurate and easy to set up. Well worth the money and the best price around is through Hayneedle (with the discount code). A serious amatuer astronomer would want a larger scope, but for a beginner--or someone like me who needed a smaller portable scope for hauling around...it's perfect. This scope (and a cheap laser pointer) will enable anyone to impress the "heck" out of anyone.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            [...] Set up literally took 5 minutes to get up and running. Sky Align was simple and fast. Once set the 127 found everything with no problems. The SLT 127 produces great images. I was expecting a much harder time to do all this but it was all as advertised.Great product that I would recommend to anyone and Telescopes.com was the best price for it!
