Opinions of the Celestron Star Sense LT 80 AZ Refractor
Just wondering if this is more of a “ toy” than something serious and what should be the going price for something like this?
I ordered the Apertura AD8” from High Point Scientific, and awaiting its shipment but I was just curious about this scope ?
Thanks in Advance and I am so enjoying this site and the awesome people that are on this forum !
Equipment :
Apertura AD10” Dobsonian
Polaris 4” Dobsonian
7x50 binoculars

The focuser is plastic and you would need to replace the poor quality diagonal as well.
The mount is likely a weak point as well.
The optics are usually alright, just let down by the cheap accessories.
The only culture I have is from yogurt

Everyone on this forum like yourself has been very helpful, senior members are already sending me some of the basic things I need like red film for flashlights and even an out of print but really nice( and pricey even used) night sky atlas, I’m floored by the kindness and generosity of the senior members here and everyone else this place rocks !!
