Celestron N 114/900 Powerseeker 114 EQ Telescope

Celestron introduces the PowerSeeker telescope series, offering exceptional value for beginners. These telescopes are perfect for those eager to explore the wonders of the night sky, making them an inspiring gift for students interested in astronomy.

Even the smallest PowerSeeker telescope, with its 50mm aperture, unveils lunar craters, Jupiter's moons, and Saturn's rings. Deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy are also within reach. As aperture increases, so does performance. The 114mm and 127mm PowerSeeker models provide stepping stones into advanced amateur astronomy, revealing details like Jupiter's cloud bands, Martian surface features, and distant galaxies.

The Celestron CG-1 mount supports telescopes weighing up to approximately 3 kg. With setting circles on both axes, manual fine adjustments are easy, aided by flexible slow-motion controls. While slightly less robust in declination compared to the CG-3 mount, the CG-1 offers stable support. The aluminum tripod provides a sturdy, vibration-free platform, complete with an accessory tray for convenient storage. Automatic tracking can be added to the right ascension axis, included with the MD models.

Included in the package:

• Celestron PowerSeeker 114 EQ OTA with a 114mm aperture and 900mm focal length
• 20mm and 4mm (1.25") eyepieces
