Celestron PowerSeeker 114 EQ-MD Telescope
The Celestron PowerSeeker 114 EQ-MD telescope is an easy-to-use Newtonian reflector that is perfect for beginning astro enthusiasts. All optical surfaces of the telescope are fully coated with aluminum and quartz, which allows you to admire the night sky in all its glory: the image is bright, detailed, and contrasting. Among the advantages of the model is a relatively large focal length of 900 millimeters. It has a good effect on the quality of the observed details of the lunar surface and planetary disks. And the aperture of 114 millimeters will allow you to look beyond the boundaries of the solar system. The Celestron PowerSeeker 114 EQ-MD telescope comes with a wide range of optical accessories for efficient observing in a variety of conditions. Objects from both near and far space will be available for study. In addition to the eyepiece and Barlow lens, which increases the zoom up to 675 times, the device is equipped with a wraparound eyepiece - it gives a non-inverted image, thanks to which you can conduct overview observations of earthly landscapes. Convenient and accurate targeting is provided by an equatorial mount, an electric clock drive for automated tracking and a viewfinder with crosshairs. With this telescope model, even a novice user can try his hand at astrophotography: the device is equipped with an adapter for shooting on a smartphone through the eyepiece.
