Celestron PowerSeeker 70 EQ Telescope
The Celestron PowerSeeker 70 EQ telescope is a refractor with an achromatic lens. The equatorial type mount is equipped with coordinate circles and fine movement knobs for maximum comfortable control. Thanks to this mount, not only pointing at an object, but also tracking it will not require much effort and time from you. Like any 70 mm instrument, this model is capable of collecting 36% more light rays compared to its 60 mm “brothers”. The image that the observer receives is direct (not inverted or mirrored), thanks to the wrapping prism (supplied with the telescope). The maximum magnification of the Celestron 70 EQ telescope from the PowerSeeker series is 525x.
