Random question for the Fediverse. Friend looking at a #NexStar 8SE for a #telescope for a house in a great dark sky location. Opinions? Alternatives? Mainly for looking at live, but if there are good alternatives for casual astrophotography, I think they would appreciate the capability. Thanks! #astronomy #photography #space #astrophotography #telescopes

@ai6yr I haven't messed with telescopes in 15 years, but through the 70s, 80s, and 90s, I've had good experiences with Celestron. I've used their 8-inch and 12-inch scopes. If the quality hasn't changed, I'd say it's hard to go wrong a Celestron product.
