Celestron C150-HD
This is the inferior Chinese instrument that caused Celestron's previously good reputation to crash. They are currently in bankruptcy as a direct result of selling such junk!

You must be using the ultimate Televue scopes or something or you don't like Celestron due to a previous episode or something.

I've got the C150-HD just a few day, and i think the low voting of other people is not right. I think that this is the quality that you get for that price. I owned a smaller newtonian (4.5") and when i compare the 2, then the 1.5" bigger telescope gives the expected quality / light power.
Strong magnifications are not so good, but i coul'd see some Messier objects in bad seeing & a lighter place, that i only could see under perfect conditions with the 4.5". Great telescope for $400, if you want better you have to pay more money to get a C8 or something like that.
Clear skies!

I have owned a C150-HD since 2001 and I find it to be a great scope. I get sharp, bright views of both DS and planets. The GE mount makes it greatly easy to follow the sky as the Earth rotates. The aperture and size are a good compromise between large, heavy scopes and lighter weight scopes that also have smaller apertures and leave out too much to be seen.

Very Good scope for the money. Low and Medium power are fantastic, and as most experienced observers (including myself) will tell you - high power is generally not better. High power, however, is good but not great. Overall very good performance for the price ($450-$500) and for the aperture (6").
