4.0 out of 5 stars Does't Set You Free, December 31, 2007

By	John Nichols (North Olmsted, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A power adapter is absolutely necessary, especially for an 8" Nexstar SE, as otherwise the internal batteries will die quickly, leaving you with a useless scope. And this adaptor will give you plenty of power. However, you need to be hooked into an AC outlet, which means you had better have this available when you are out in the field, which of course is not always possible. I recommend buying the car battery adapter, which you can run either off the lighter socket of your car or a portable battery.

I like Celestron Products, they are quality items. This adapter will allow Me to Use My Telescope to take Photographs, and view the Sky for long periods with out using the battery.
