Celestron PowerSeeker 127 EQ-MD Telescope
The Celestron PowerSeeker 127 EQ-MD telescope is a Newtonian reflector for convenient observations of the solar system and deep space. Full anti-reflective aluminum coating of optics with quartz, a long focal length, a large lens - all this ensures high light transmission and gives a bright, detailed image. You can also buy a Celestron PowerSeeker 127 EQ-MD telescope for astrophotography: it comes with an adapter for a smartphone, and it is possible to shoot with a wide-angle camera (connected using additional accessories). The telescope can be controlled either manually or using an electric drive for automation. Pointing to celestial bodies is performed using an equatorial mount with coordinate circles and fine movement handles on both axes, and an electric drive will “drive” the object, compensating for its rotation. Ground objects are also accessible for observation thanks to the presence of a reversing eyepiece, which builds a non-inverted image. In addition, the kit includes a 3x Barlow lens that increases the zoom up to 750x. The finder of this model also deserves attention - it points to the object not with a red dot, but with the help of a crosshair. The rich functionality, ease of operation and relatively low price of the Celestron PowerSeeker 127 EQ-MD telescope make the device an excellent option not only for experienced but also for novice astronomers.
