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.
Included in delivery:
- Celestron PowerSeeker 114 EQ OTA with 114 mm aperture and 900mm focal length
- 20mm and 4mm (1.25") eyepieces
- 3X Barlow lens (1.25")
- 5x24 finder scope
The Celestron CG-1 mount:
This parallactic mount can take telescopes up to approx. 3 kg total weight. Setting circles on both axes allow the manual fine movement which can be very sensitively adjusted with the flexible slow motion controls. In contrast to the slightly larger CG-3 mount, the declination axis is somewhat less robust than the right ascension axis and therefore does not offer quite the same quality of fine adjustment. The completely pre-assembled tripod has aluminium legs provides a stable and vibration-free platform for mount and telescope. You can keep all your important accessories on the tray provided and so always have them close at hand. A motor for automatic tracking can be retrofitted to the right ascension axis, and is already included with the MD models.
Included in delivery:
- parallactic CG-1 mount
- aluminium tripod
- accessory tray

Vår expertkommentar:
114/900 mm EQ-1-teleskop har för sin prisklass en optik av god kvalitet. Spegeln är sfärisk men det är vid i det här fallet ett öppningsförhållande på 1:7,9 över huvud taget inget problem. Monteringen är för ett instrument i den här storleken endast visuellt användbar. Astrofotografering är knappast roligt med det även om mindre seriösa leverantörer ibland hävdar det.
Observera detta angående förstoringen: Liknande teleskop med över 300x eller till och med 600x förstoring marknadsförs på många ställen. I teorin kan alla teleskop uppnå dessa förstoringar. Men du kommer inte se något mer! Den maximala användbara förstoringen för denna teleskoptyp ligger på cirka 230x, vid vilken man fortfarande kan se objekten tydligt.
Detta teleskop erbjuder definitivt det bästa pris/prestanda-förhållandet av alla teleskop i denna prisklass. Kan du investera lite mer rekommenderar vi Omegon 130/920 EQ-2 with a larger aperture and a more stable mount.
