This portable telescope setup is ideal for intermediate amateur astronomers who want to get serious.
Optically, the EdgeHD system is excellent, and, with appropriate accessories, it couples to all types of cameras. Views of Saturn and Jupiter are dramatic; globular clusters are resolved into stars; all the Messier Objects are plainly visible; and with a trained eye and a dark country sky, galaxies are visible down to 12th magnitude. It's a telescope you won't outgrow.
The EdgeHD optical system is the jewel in Celestron's crown, an improved Schmidt-Cassegrain with additional lens elements, and although the improvement is intended mainly for photography, we can see it visually with an eyepiece. The mount requires 12-14V DC power, about 0.5 amp most of the time, up to 3 or 4 amps momentarily when moving the telescope rapidly. We use a portable battery pack.The best view is usually with an eyepiece around 20mm, not the supplied 40mmAll good telescopes in the same size class give similar views, so this one is not much different from other well-made 6 to10-inch telescopes.
