With this series, Celestron developed a new range oftelescopes for beginnersthat offer aExtraordinarily favorable price and potential ratio.Powerseeker is the ideal instrument to get into one of the oldest and most interesting hobbies. An inspiring gift for all students who have an interest in the wonders of the sky.
With the small PowerSeeker instruments it is already possible to make many discoveries: the 50 mm aperture PoweSeeker already present the detailsfrom the world of lunar craters,the four of themsatellites of Jupiteras well as theSaturn's rings . Also deep space objects, with for example theOrion nebulaand theandromeda galaxyThey offer interesting aspects. If the light collecting aperture is increased, the power of the telescope grows dramatically: a PowerSeeker instrument with a diameter of 114 mm or even 127 mm is the key to unlocking the door to the advanced hobby of astronomy. You can discover details of Jupiter's clouds, features of the surface of Mars, small galaxies and nebulae.
We supply the optical system:
- Celestron Powerseeker 114EQ optical tube with 114 mm aperture and 900 mm focal length
- 20mm and 4 mm (1.25") eyepieces
- three Barlow lenses (1.25")
- 5x24 finder telescope
FrameCelestron CG-1
This parallactic mount offers you the basis fortelescopes up to about 3 kg total weight.Graduated circles on both axes allow you to perform fine manual movements very sensitively using the flexible shafts. Unlike the slightly larger CG-3 mount, this device has a slightly finer declination axis than the right ascension axis, and therefore does not offer the same superior quality of fine adjustment. HeCompletely assembled tripod is equipped with aluminum legs , supports mount and telescope stably and with very reduced vibrations. On the accessory plate you can store important accessories and always have them within reach. As an option you can add a motor for automatic tracking of the right ascension axis. We even already supply the MD models with it.
We supply:
- CG-1 parallactic mount
- aluminum tripod
- support plate for accessories
