Celestron 21044 76 mm PowerSeeker Reflector Telescope

Product Information

However as Saturn is not going to be making a convenient appearance until mid 2017 (July/Aug) no real rush. Easily observe the belts and moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. Feel free to discuss anything astronomical here, from what sort of telescope you should get, stargazing tips and tricks, to how to use that scope of yours that's been sitting around!

With a diverse collection of eyepieces, we can customize our observations for an immersive stargazing experience. The Powerseeker 76AZ has a Newtonian reflector, offering a larger aperture and greater light gathering power needed to resolve the faint detail of hundreds of deep-sky and other celestial objects.As such, using it is extremely frustrating at even fairly low magnifications, as you will either overshoot your target or watch it slowly drift out of view as the scope droops in altitude. The Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ with Motor Drive and Phone adapter Kit uses German equatorial mount, with an RA Motor Drive. This is further exacerbated by the top-heavy, unbalanced nature of such a mount design when paired with long optical tubes like the LT 76AZ; the telescope is inherently unbalanced and will torque the mount either down or up when aimed, which renders it nearly impossible to keep in place without locking down most or all of the altitude axis.

Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). Astrophotography is permitted as well, but feel free to check out /r/astrophotography for more of that. The Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ, with German equatorial mount, has the longest focal length in the Powerseeker Telescope range at a 1000mm, this provides excellent magnifying power.Powerseeker Telescopes are available in a range of designs including Refractor Telescopes and Newtonian Reflector Telescopes covering a good range of budgets and offering good magnifications enabling you to take your first steps to observing the night sky. A note regarding magnification: Similar telescopes are advertised in many places with magnifications of over 300X or even 600X. At the forefront of a new era in amateur astronomy, the launch of Celestron Origin stands as a beacon, seamlessly intertwining stargazing and astrophotography into a singular, user-friendly experience. If everything isn't totally level the telescope tends to slowly move, making planets etc slowly slide out of view and then be really hard to find again. The SarBlue Mak60 tabletop Dobsonian mount offers similar performance to the AstroMaster LT 76AZ but in a much more compact package with a steadier mount to boot.

You have already had good views of the Moon and Venus, these are currently a couple of the best targets. The PowerSeeker 76 comes with all glass optical components with high transmission coatings for enhanced image brightness and clarity. U nleash the full pointing accuracy of your Celestron computerized telescope with a specialized telescope control software suite.Just point the telescope at any three bright objects—stars, bright planets, or even the Moon—and your telescope can orient itself with the night sky. Picstop’s exclusive Celestron Powerseeker Relector Telescope 127AZ, is a superb package – great for beginners to astronomy it comes with the following supplied eyepieces - 20mm and 4mm eyepieces, plus a 3x barlow lens, these quality optics make for great celestial viewing.

While still subpar, even the equatorially mounted version of the AstroMaster 76 at least offers fine adjustment for its pointing which makes it a little more useful. Planetarium software package which provides easy-to-understand explanations and impressive visuals of all kinds. For technical support on how to use the product etc, our team will share manuals, PDFs and other online resources as available. So could you guys just give me some advice on what I could expect from this telescope, any sights that you'd recommend straight away, and whether I'm going to need to upgrade as soon as I get it? The motor drive compensates for the earth’s rotation by slowing moving or “slewing” to keep an object in view when using the Celestron Powerseeker Telescope.Their sturdy equatorial mounts are perfect for tracking objects in the night sky, and the collapsible alt-azimuth mounts are perfectly suited for terrestrial (land) viewing as well as astronomical use. Replacing the eyepieces will certainly improve the view and you could always retain them if you upgrade in the future.
