    @jamieball electronics are simply to find stars… They’re not nessesary, but they are cool.

    Actually, with Celestron Sky Align you only need to point to 3 bright objects and it aligns. You don’t need to know their names.

    fantastic tutorial,this jesse sturgeon guy is as cool as the breeze

  9. jamieball says:

    Isn’t it worse to have to rely on electronics to use the scope?.. can you still use the mount without electric power??

  10. Pingletons says:

    Around 450 USD for the one on the left, 600-800 USD for the one on the right, and around 2000 USD for the one in the center. These are just approximations.
