Editorial Reviews : The Nexstar 60 ST is one of Celestron's most affordable telescopes. Although it's similar to the Nexstar 60 GT, this model comes with no standard computerized functions. However, it is completely upgradable; just add motors and a computerized multispeed hand controller. The NexStar 60 offers breathtaking views of the lunar landscape. Mars appears as an orange disc, and you can chart Venus through its phases. Use the 70x and 175x lenses to view Jupiter and four of its moons, the rings of Saturn, and some brighter deep-sky objects. This telescope is also ideal for terrestrial views.
Buyer Reviews : I have been wanting a scope for some time and finally my wife just went ahead and bought this scope for me. After using it I found that you can find the planets no problem with it but they do not come in very sharp with any of the lenses. I could not make out any large features on Jupiter. I was able to find the Horsehead nebula in Orion with it but again, the level of detail left much to be desired. The manual controls on this are horrid and there is alot of play in moving the altitude and azimuth, making centering on objects kind of hard. If all you want to do is look at the moon, this isn't a bad telescope. Beyond that, spend a little more on a better scope.
