Very Good Refractor For The Money
By Tanvir Hafiz
This telescope allowed me to look at Venus that enlarged it to the size of the moon with an 11mm 82 degree Orion eyepiece! I'm sorry that the other reviewers didn't find this telecope amazing, but I did. Maybe they are more experienced than me, but I feel I made the right decision buying this telescope. This is my second telescope I have owned. My first one was a cheap Konus, that got me started. I tried to do my homework before buying this telescope. Here are the features I think I paid this kind of money for: 1) Wide field of view. Because the scope is short tubed, it sees a wider field of view than a longer tube refractor. 2) Huge 102mm lens. I would like to someday own the Celestron 150mm longer tube refractor, but it would serve a different purpose. 3) GOTO computer. It still requires effort on my part, but it sure is a cool feature. I don't expect it to work like a government or NASA product, it is a home telescope, and it is as good as it gets. Buy it without regret and unlock the views of the solar system.

Great scope for the money
By Rhea Wille
The Celestron Nexstar 102 SLT is a nice scope for the money. The mount is stable and well damped, and the finder scope works very well. I have no problems at all aiming the scope manually at the stars or planets I want to look at. The battery life is very good as well. I've accidently left the red-dot on, not finding it on until the next day and it is still going strong. A very easy scope to use, though I would recommend an additional 3 or 4mm eyepiece and a moon filter to really enjoy the scope to a greater degree. Then of course the computerized "Go To" capabilities of the scope increases the fun by a tremendous amount. It works very well once the scope is aligned and aligning is a snap. A lot of fun. Highly recommended!

Excellent value for starting astronomy hobby
By Cloud Nebulas
The Celestron Nexstar 102SLT is the most well balanced scope for someone to start the astronomy hobby. If someone tells you to buy the big reflector scope with equatorial mount for beginners, you might quickly be frustrated by the need for collimation and difficulty to scan the sky. Those setup are better once you are acquainted with the sky and ready for astro-photography. For beginners, there is nothing that can beat the convenience of a refractor scope with computerized altimuth mount.
The optical tube has excellent quality at this price range and the aperture size/focal length is just perfect for planetary and basic stargazing. The image quality of a 4-inch refractor easily beats a slightly larger reflector scope. The tripod might need some damper pads for more stability. And you definitely need an external power tank
The Sky Align takes a while to get used to. It might be faster if you learn to spot a familiar star, then use the 2-star alignment. Please make sure you have entered the time and location information correctly. Then you are good to go.
As you get more familiar, the scope is even ready for some basic astrophotography. Just make sure you get some counter weight in the front to balance the scope when camera is mounted
In sum, you just can't get better value then this scope IMHO.
