Upgrade from a PowerSeeker 127EQ

[Kadersin]

Hey guys and gals!

I currently own a Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ.  Do you think a NexStar 6SE is a worthwhile upgrade?

Pros / cons?

Thx!

I have the same telescope and although I'm not looking to upgrade just yet, or answer your question (sorry), I'm certainly keen to see if anyone has an opinion on this.

IIRC the Powerseeker is not highly regarded, but the Celestron Nexstar 6SE is a decent piece of kit.  It has the same mount as the C8 SE.

Hi Kadersin,

While I have no experience with the NexStar 6SE,  I have used the PowerSeeker 127 and I have no doubt that it would be a worthwhile upgrade. Just the stability and goto features of the mount will give a much improved observing experience. You will need to factor in getting better eyepieces though if all you have are those that came with the PowerSeeker. 

Cheers!
