Celestron Powerseeker 70eq Refractor Teleskop

Bought this for my wife as a Christmas gift and she loves it. Easy to set up and use. The free app that comes with it is equally user-friendly. A great scope for a beginner.

This is great for a beginners scope and the AZ mount is very easy to use. I just used Sky Map app on my phone to find the planets then use the finder scope to align the scope then adjust the focuser and BOOM "Hello Saturn".

Excellent beginners telescope and great for camping.

Great refractor telescope for the beginner. Offered with either an EQ or azimuth mount. I chose the latter simply for ease of setup and use especially when i just want to take a quick look at the night sky. The EQ mount has additional advantages including allowing the user to manually track objects but would require a few more steps such as balancing the scope etc.

This telescope was purchased by me for two very seperate reasons. I personally want it for photograph, and I also bought it to loan to a friend for a short while to see if the daughter really' is interested in the stars and the sky. She is a very precocious 8 year old and the process of determing the depth and staying power of her interest is on going. Preliminary remarks are all very positive. My use in photography will wait a little while.
