The PowerSeeker 80AZ 80mm f/5 AZ Refractor
Telescope from Celestron is designed as an
entry-level telescope for wide-field viewing of bright deep space objects,
planets, and the moon. Its 80mm objective lens and 400mm focal length give it
respectable light gathering and magnification potential, while keeping the size
and weight manageable. The manual alt-azimuth mount and 5x24 finderscope makes
finding objects as easy as point-and-aim.
The scope comes with an eyepiece that produces a
magnification 20x, and the 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser will accept any
optional 1.25" eyepiece or accessory. For comfortable astronomical
viewing, or to use it as a spotting scope, there is an included 90° erect-image
diagonal to correctly orientate the subject horizontally and vertically in the
field of view. To aid in terrestrial viewing, the mount has an altitude locking
bar that holds the scope in place allowing you to more easily track subjects as
they move. The aluminum tripod has independently adjustable legs for precise leveling
on uneven terrain, and comes with a removable accessory tray.
