Product Information

Replacing the eyepieces will certainly improve the view and you could always retain them if you upgrade in the future. Now, Celestron is using that same technology to allow star gazers to connect to the night sky and enhance their experience of the cosmos in fun and unique ways. Whatever celestial objects you wish to view the Starry Night Software and a Powerseeker Telescope will enable you to do that. These instruments have been designed to offer the beginner the perfect combination of quality, performance and possibilities. U nleash the full pointing accuracy of your Celestron computerized telescope with a specialized telescope control software suite.

We've been supplying cameras and photographic accessories for over 40 years and now located in the centre of Halifax, West Yorkshire. The brightest emission nebulae, like the Lagoon (M8) and Orion Nebula (M42), look good provided you can escape the worst light pollution conditions, though they pale in comparison to the views through a larger instrument under dark skies.While this telescope is just barely acceptable for beginners, astronomers looking for a satisfying first scope are likely better served by one of the 100-130mm tabletop Dobsonian options on offer. The Celestron Powerseeker line of telescopes is affordable, and therefore perfect for stargazers new to astronomy. Easily observe the belts and moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn with every one of these fine instruments. A note regarding magnification: Similar telescopes are advertised in many places with magnifications of over 300X or even 600X. 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.

All Powerseeker Telescopes come well equipped, with a tripod and at least two eyepieces, designed with beginners in mind they are easy no tool setup required. Why not purchase a smartphone adapter to capture great photos of the nightsky with your cameraphone? I would recommend getting a decent 32mm eyepiece, the lower power will open up so many more objects that the telescope is suitable for. The Sky-Watcher Heritage 130 P has much larger aperture than the AstroMaster LT 76AZ with the same conveniences of the larger 150P such as its tabletop mount and collapsible tube, though it’s not much more compact than the 150P so we’d recommend the larger model if you can afford it.Then check out our budget range of Celestron Powerseeker Telescopes and compare models, you'll be sure to find a value for money telescope to suit your requirement; Celestron Powerseeker Telescopes are the ideal beginner telescope for novice astronomers and stargazers. With an aperture of 76mm, fully coated lens and ability to gather 118 times the light of the human eye you get a clear, bright image.
