Celestron21049 PowerSeeker 127EQ Reflector Telescope, Black

Good quality i like that good for beginners.

Can see jupiter and it's moons, saturn rings are barely distinguishable, barlow lens is useless, it's best to view the moon, I bought a T-mount lens adapter to use it with my Sony mirrorless camera and it was a very useful accessory, I could take nice pics of the moon. The equatorial mount is not bad, it is stable, but the slow motion screws weared out after several months and now they are still working but they skip some threads. The viewer scope is useless, it moves very easily no matter how strong you fix it, so it is never in line with the mirror.Didn't need collimation yet so I didn't experience how easy or hard is it, but not needing collimation after using and moving around for more than 1 year is a very good sign.

If you are thinking to see very well the planets, forget about it. You will barely be able to see saturn rings. Saturn will appear smaller than a lentil in your arm (1-1.5 m away approx), jupiter can be as big as a chickpea at the same distance.The finder scope (used to point the telescope) is just awfully designed (especially its support, if it was even ever designed!). It is not stable, impossible to get a practical use out of it.Overall, if you are looking for a top quality toy to watch the moon and a bit of planet, this is a good one. Don't expect a high stability, you get what you pay for, but it gets the job done.

Do some research before buying any telescope, this is difficult to work with, because of Jones-bird design. save your money and buy a proper telescope, even if it is a bit expensive.

Arrived on time next day after ordering.properly packaged.the telescope is very powerful and good value for money.I would recommend it as a starter telescope, but you must know its limitations and will probably need collimating right off the bat.

I am a beginner with telescopes, but I did not find difficulty in setting up the unit. I was able to capture images of the moon and jupiter on first try.One issue i have is the 3x barlow lens. It feels cheap and does not fit well with the 20mm eyepiece. The finder scope also needs a bit of adjusting to make it hold its position. The surface of the finder scope is too slippery.Overall a fun instrument, I can’t wait to use it in darker skies.

Chegou tudo muito bem embalado, quando chegou no Brasil foi taxado por um valor altíssimo, porém tudo foi resolvido pelo vendedor, ele pagou todas as taxas e chegou rapidinho aqui em casa!! Foi presente de aniversário pro marido, e ele sorriu de uma orelha a outra. Super satisfeita!

Ok so a few things, the first with collimation. This is the first reflector telescope ive owned, I read a lot of reviews about how difficult this telescope is to collimate before I bought it and decided I was up for the challenge anyway. It turned out to not be as difficult for me as others suggested it would be. I used both a chesire collimating eye piece and a laser collimator. I was afraid to take the focuser out of the tube and remove the lens to laser collimate it as many people have suggested, so I used the Cheshire collimator first and then used the laser to confirm it was collimated. Next I shined a flashlight through to focuser tube and aimed the telescope directly at the wall to see if the light came out Evenly and it did. The final test was the star test aiming the telescope at a star and two planets (saturn and jupter) and zooming out to show the crosshairs of the main tube lining up with the image perfectly. So all in all, the collimation process for this telescope isn't the monster a lot of people make it out to be in my experience. Due to the primary mirror's shape being spherical rather than curved like true Newtonian reflectors, the trick to collimating this telescope is to have the primary mirror as straight as possible rather than tilt it, then adjust the secondary mirror accordingly to line up with both the focuser tube and the primary mirror.The second thing I want to address is the view which was nice I was able to see the planets saturn and jupiter relatively clearly, but was somewhat obstructed due to the atmospheric distortion between the temperature inside my room and the outside air as its the middle of November and its already quite cold. Something I learned about reflector telescopes is in order to get the best image, the air inside the telescope must match the temperature outside. This telescope is said to max out at 300x magnification, but I was able to push it to 480x magnification using the 3x Barlow lens that comes with the telescope, another 2x barlow lens, and a 12.5mm eye piece before everything became too blurry to see. At that point I could make out a few of Jupiter's colored bands but again the atmospheric distortion hindered the view. The 20mm eyepiece it comes with is ok up to 150x magnification with the 3x Barlow lens but after that the quality drops sharply, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to purchase additional pieces, I haven't really used the 4mm eye piece because the lens is so small it would be a pain to look through so I just stack Barlow lenses with wider eyepieces.Finally the finder scope isn't too bad despite the negative reviews. Mine isn't even perfectly aligned and I had little trouble finding objects in the night sky.Also, this may be a nice "beginner" scope for budding astronomers, but I certainly wouldn't give it to a kid to put together, mainly because of its size and weight. It does take a little tinkering, time, patience, and the right tools to get the most out of it. You'll need a size 2 allen wrench to collimate it. All in all, I'm satisfied for the price I paid for it. I'm glad I ignored all the nay sayers who bash this telescope and its particular design in general.One last thing, be careful with the telescope cap for the main tube, its not as sturdy as it looks and is really the only complaint I have about this product. I've dropped it once or twice and a nice sized crack appeared in it

LE PRODUIT EST ARRIVÉ BIEN EMBALLÉ ET PROTÉGÉ EN EXCELLENT ÉTAT R.A.S CONTINUEZ COMME ÇA C'EST TOP👍👍

التلسكوب ممتاز لكن الحامل الاستوائي صعب جدا الافضل انك تشتري تلسكوب ذو حامل متتبع اذا الميزانيه تسمح

Telescopio nel complesso molto buono che può essere un alternativa molto valida rispetto all’astromaster 130eq. Telescopio di tipo riflettore, quindi necessita di una collimazione (cosa non semplice per i principianti) si riesce a vedere molto bene la luna qualche oggetto del deep sky e qualche pianeta (in ordine: marte, giove, saturno). Punto debole: La montatura equatoriale non è delle migliori, mi aspettavo un po’ di più, infatti va regolata più volte e spesso non segue perfettamente i gradi.consiglio quindi a chi ha già un po’ di esperienza.
