Introduction
The Bushnell NorthStar 78-8846 reflector telescope with electronic alignment system is a great step up from cheap, department store, telescopes for anyone with a true interest in astronomy. The telescope has a 114mm (4.5") diameter mirror and 675 mm focal length, a size suitable...

What a great telescope... NOT!
"Wow!!!" was all I could say when I opened my present, I was stunned and totally gratified that my wife spent her hard earned money on a telescope for me. It was something I had wanted all my life but never revealed to anyone. Here was, this quite sophisticated looking optical beauty; silver,sleek... Read full review »
Initial impression
First, I have never taken an astronomy class and never used a telescope before. But this is supposed to be for beginners, so that is the perspective from which I am writing. The assembly of the scope and tripod is very simple. No tools needed. The scope itself was surprisingly light. But, the... Read full review »
Bushnell NorthStar 78-8846 ...JUNK!!! Not worth the money I spent on aftermarket upgrades.
I was given a new 3" Bushnell for Christmas. Very poor. I traded for a 4.5". It is worse!! The mount is very flimsey and even a slight breeze will move the tube. Using a "real" eyepiece requires I counter ballance the tube as it would drift or the mechanism would not lift the opening. If you... Read full review »
Understanding Bushnell 8846 frustration
I bought my husband a Bushnell North Star 78-8846 for Christmas last year. Three reasons: It stated it was for the beginner and intermediate user, it was user friendly with its voice activation and GOTO capability and also because it was lightweight; my husband is disabled. My husband has used the... Read full review »

I wish i never wasted the money, i couldn't see anything through the telescope for a week so i took it back and asked for a new they gave me it, same problem so i went to a professionals and the scope inside (what ever that is)...

Bad computer!
I bought it because it was supposed to be easy to use! The built in computer was supposed to do the hard work. Yeah right! I've had it almost a week now, and I have yet to align the computer. It never automatically points at any bright stars during its initial setup! So far everything I've seen... Read full review »
Buyer Beware,
Ditto to the other reviews. This is not easy, the instructions were written so that they would be easy to translate into 20 languages, not to make the telescope easy for the user. The only easy thing about this telescope is the initial assembly.
I have yet to be able to turn on the red dot...

Great Telescope
I just bought the Bushnell telescope yesterday and I am impressed. People who do not understand the instructions must suffer from idiocy. The buttons are clear, the telescope looks great, and the inovative Real-Voice Output is quite interesting. The only problem is it doesn't come with a compass in... Read full review »
I AGREE WITH halo_man99, (GREAT TELESCOPE!!!!!)
For those that are easy frustrated and cannot follow directions, a few simple steps. First take a deep breath and relax. Second, buy yourself a little compass and a small level from ace hardware ($2.00-$5.00). When you set up your telescope, make sure that it's #1-Level and #2 pointing north. This... Read full review »
