Description:

The PowerSeeker 50 is a refractor telescope perfect for terrestrial and celestial viewing on the go. Set it up in a bedroom, backyard, campsite, cottage, or anywhere else your family explores!

The PowerSeeker can view the planets, moon, star clusters and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy at night. The erect image star diagonal makes the optical tube ideal for using as a spotting scope during the day. This telescope works with Celestron’s Starry Night Software.

Setting up the telescope is a breeze, so you can begin observing in no time. Even on your first time out, you can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope’s height or place it on raised surfaces like a picnic table.

Features:

• The PowerSeeker 50 comes with four eyepieces: (20mm, 12mm, 4mm, and 1.5x image erecting eyepiece), star diagonal, finderscope, and a 3x Barlow lens.
• The four eyepieces offer different magnifications to view your intended object.
• The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnifying power of each eyepiece. The star diagonal allows for right-side-up viewing ideal for terrestrial subjects but can also be used for celestial objects. The finderscope will help you quickly center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing.
• Compatible with Celestron Starry Night Basic Edition Software (not included) and SkyPortal App (available on Google Play Store and App Store)

Telescope Tip:

The best and easiest target for you to try to view first is the Moon. Try observing the Moon at different points in its phase cycle. The best time to view the Moon is from two days after a New Moon up to a few days before a Full Moon. During this period, you will be able to see the most detail in the craters and lunar mountain ranges.
