CELESTRON Telescope AC 70/700 Powerseeker 70 AZ

With a telescope from Celestron’s Powerseeker series, astronomy becomes a hobby for the whole family! And every student who wants to explore the sky on his own – without having to spend a fortune – will find his perfect first telescope here!

The Powerseeker displays landscapes on the Moon, bands of cloud on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn and also many objects that are more than a thousand light years away, such as the Orion Nebula or the large Globular Cluster in the constellation Hercules.
The altazimuth mount refractor telescopes in the Powerseeker series are also well suited for terrestrial observing, since they show an upright and right-sided image.

The PowerSeeker telescopes:

Celestron has created a new range of beginners telescopes with this series, which are extremely good value for money. PowerSseekers are ideal for getting acquainted with one of the oldest and most enjoyable of all hobbies. An inspirational gift for any student who is has always been interested in the wonders of the night sky.

Many discoveries can be made even with the smallest PowerSeeker instrument: even the 50mm aperture PowerSeeker will show detail of the craters on the Moon, the four largest moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. Deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy can also be seen. The performance of telescopes increases dramatically with increasing aperture, or light gathering capacity: The 114mm diameter or even 127mm diameter PowerSeeker is therefore your stepping stone into more advanced amateur astronomy. Details in the cloud bands of Jupiter, surface features on Mars, smaller galaxies and planetary nebulae all become visible.
