Anyone know how easy it is to align this thing? I had an older Meade with a computerized mount and I could never make it work. When you set it up, the computer would tell you to point the telescope at 2 or 3 specific stars in order to align the scope so it knew where all the other stars were. It was completely worthless to me. I bought a computerized telescope because I don't know where specific stars are.

Cool thing about this telescope is it features an alignment technique that is super easy. You just pick any 3 bright objects in the sky - you dont need to know what they are or anything. The Meade ones make you pick stars they want you to pick, this one you can pick any stars you like. Its super easy.

The Celestron Astromaster is a great starter telescope, but it does not have any automatic locating (GoTo) ability. For under 200 bucks, the SkyWatcher is an incredible deal. Also check out the alternates listed on that page - there is a 130mm for a great price also.

I bought the Celestron Astromaster last week as a starter package for $179 - I don't think I will regret it, once it stop raining.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
