Celestron PowerSeeker 127 EQ Telescope

Celestron 21049 PowerSeeker 127 EQ 5" Equatorial Reflector Telescope

The Celestron PowerSeeker 127 is a 5 equatorial reflector with a big enough aperture to show clear views of the brighter star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies. Its Newtonian reflector optics give you detailed and sharp views of the Moon and planets without the faint purple haze of chromatic aberration (spurious color) that surrounds every bright object in every refractor scope in this price range. The construction of the optical system has all-glass optical components with high reflectivity aluminum mirror coatings for enhanced image brightness and clarity. The equatorial mount has slow motion controls in both axes, to let you easily track objects across the sky. The Celestron PowerSeeker 127 has a light grasp 329 times that of the sharpest eye. The 1.25 focuser has dual focusing knobs for precise image control with either hand. The large focus knobs are easy to operate, even while wearing gloves or mittens in cold weather. The 4mm eyepiece is right at the scope's usable magnification limit on the rare nights of very good seeing conditions. An optional 6mm or 7mm eyepiece comes closer to providing the highest useful power on a night in/night out basis. By aligning the mount on the north celestial pole, you only need to turn one slow motion control knob to follow planets and stars as they travel across the sky. A counterweight on the opposite side of the mount from the telescope balances the weight of the optical tube and makes it easy to move the scope effortlessly from one part of the sky to another. There are two slow motion control knobs connected to the mount by long flexible cables so they are easy to reach while observing.

Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope

The Celestron� PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope is a great way to open up the wonders of the universe to the aspiring astronomer. The PowerSeeker� series is designed to give the first-time telescope user the perfect combination of quality, value, features, and power. The Newtonian Reflector uses a concave parabolic mirror to collect and focus light onto a secondary mirror that in turn reflects the image into the eye piece.
