Title: Poor quality control, customer service.
Review: After owning the Celestron 8 SE for 3 years I can safely say buy the Meade LX 8" instead. The optics are good in the Celestron, however the battery power supply that holds 8 AA batteries fails quickly after purchase. A 110 volt power supply comes with the scope, however when the battery power supply fails, or one unplugs the 110 Volt power supply, you will be forced to reset the time and location ever time you use the scope! The whole 8 AA battery holder/power supply needs to re-engineered to have a rechargable Lithium battery power supply akin to a laptop battery. Celestron's customer service is poor, to say the least. Shipping the whole drive back and forth to Celestron at your cost is expensive and time wasting venture that need not happpen if Celestron re-disigned how the telescope is powered. Research for yourself on the web the problems with the drive/ battery supply abd you will see that it is a very common complaint.
