Celestron StarPointer Reviews

No magnification,  but that's good!

By Eric

The zero magnification is really useful for an inexpert user of a telescope, since you can easily see the star you think you are aligning too. With magnification sometimes it's hard to know if you are looking at the star you think you are. Important for alignment and rough location. There were 2 screws on my scope that let me add it as a secondary finder, which is great.

Sloppy design

Cheaply made and sloppy to adjust. Barely does what it needs to, though will need re-calibration every time you use it. Did not simply fall apart on its own, so got 2 stars in stead of 1.

question

How to exchange battery on the next tar SE 6 star pointer?
Asked by: Bahareh s.
That is simple. You just have to push down the part at the end which holds the battery, remove it and put the new one at the same position. Do not force parts; be soft.
