...because it seems there is not alot of Nexstar SE Info out there

The idea for starting my own website/blog came to me when I was looking for information about the Nexstar SE series telescopes on the internet. There are a couple of amateur sites out there (check the list of sites on the left) as well as the official Celestron website but I found that most of these sites were sometimes catered to the seasoned amateur astronomer and were a little difficult for me to understand. So I decided to write down my experience with this telescope so that maybe someone else might benefit from it. Oh - and I don't have any connections to Celestron - I only chose the orange color for the blog since I thought it would go nice with all the pictures of an orange telescope ...

Yes, he's still alive and kickin'

It has basically been raining on and off since the beginning of April and i've not once been able to take my telescope outside. I did purchase a green laser pointer with a bracket as well as the Celestron piggy back camera adapter which is now all nicely attached to the optical tube and looks rather nice (or geeky).

I'll try to add some pictures here later.

Oh and i've also purchased an ipad which already has a couple of great astronomy apps like Starmap HD. One particular app is supposed to sync up with a wireless receiver that attaches directly to the Nexstar line of telescopes. Unfortunately i've not been able to find a local supplier for this thing yet.

So - this is me hoping for summer to finally arrive....lets keep our fingers crossed.
