Description
Ideal for near and deep-sky observation, Celestron's PowerSeeker 127EQ 127mm f/8 Reflector Telescope features a respectable focal length and a large, parabolic mirror that produces 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.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 127mm aperturef/7.87 focal ratio1000mm focal lengthHigh-transmission multicoated mirrors improve light transmission, color rendition, and contrastResolution: 1.1 arcsec, Rayleigh; 0.91 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 bar7.5 lb 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 250x20mm focal length produces 50x20mm 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
