Celestron

Ideal for near and deep-sky observation, Celestron's PowerSeeker 114EQ 114mm f/8 Reflector Telescope features a respectable focal length and a larger parabolic mirror that produce detailed images of the Moon, clear views of the planets, and the ability to resolve bright distant objects such as nebulae and galaxies. The scope is outfitted with a 1.25 rack-and-pinion focuser and two eyepieces to get new users started, and a 3x Barlow lens that effectively triples the magnification of any eyepiece used with it to expand the usability.The included manual equatorial mount features slow-motion control cables with large knobs to make it easy to track objects even when wearing gloves, while also minimizing vibrations caused by handling the mount with your hands; and clearly visible indicators on the Right Ascension and Declination axes. An adjustable-height aluminum tripod rounds out the rig with a tray for accessories such as eyepieces, filters, and lights.Optical Tube 114mm aperturef/7.89 focal ratio900mm focal lengthHigh-transmission multi-coated mirrors improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrastResolution: 1.22 arcsec, Rayleigh; 1.02 arcsec, Dawes1.25" rack-and-pinion focuserMount and Tripod Mount:Manual German equatorialDual slow-motion control cables enable fine adjustments with reduced vibrationsAltitude adjustment screws locks settingEtched Right Ascension and Declination scalesRemovable counterweight bar6-pound counterweight to properly balance OTA and accessories for smooth movementDovetail plate enables fast assembly and break-downTripod:Adjustable-heightAluminum-alloy legsTray to hold eyepieces, lights, and accessoriesSpiked feet add stability on uneven/soft groundIncluded Accessories Eyepieces:1.25" diameter barrelAccepts most 1.25" astronomical filters4mm focal length produces 225x20mm focal length produces 45x20mm eyepiece has integrated prism to correct image horizontally and vertically for terrestrial useBarlow Lens:Triples the magnification of any eyepiece usedFinderscope:Low 5x magnification has a wide field of view for easier set up, alignment, and star navigation24mm aperture can resolve bright objects without being too big or heavy
