The Celestron Powerseeker 80 AZS is a perfect starter telescope for all ages. Very easy to set up, and use , with no tools needed and an erect image diagonal. Ideal for terrstrial use as well as astronomy

**Please note** To use this particular barlow, place between the diagonal and focuser and not between the diagonal and eyepuece. Contact us with any questions about this.

We do not recommend using this barlow with the 4mm eyepiece, as the magnification will be too great to get a clear image. Use with the 20mm to give 60x . Together with the 20mm on its own (20x) and the 4mm on its own (100x) will give sensible magnifications. More eyepieces can be added at a later date from us.

The PowerSeeker 80 is a short refractor telescope perfect for terrestrial and celestial viewing on the go. The PowerSeeker can view the planets, moon, star clusters and brighter deep sky objects like the Orion Nebula and Andromeda Galaxy at night and with the erect image star diagonal makes the optical tube ideal for using as a spotting scope during the day. For nebula and star clusters, use the 20mm eyepiece.

Setting up the telescope is a breeze and will have you observing in no time. Even on your first time out, you can assemble the telescope and its accessories in just a few minutes. The adjustable tripod legs allow you to customize the telescope’s height or place it on raised surfaces like a picnic table. The total telescope kit is lightweight and perfect for impromptu observing sessions or transporting wherever life’s adventures take you.

Manual Alt-Azimuth telescope

Navigate the sky with a panning handle Alt-Az control with clutch for smooth and accurate pointing. Move the clutch in an up/down, left/right fashion to track your object in the eyepiece.

Accessories Included

The PowerSeeker 80 comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm), a erect image diagonal, 3x Barlow lens, and a finderscope.  The two eyepieces offer different magnifications to view your intended object. For even more magnification, connect your 3x Barlow lens to triple the power of each eyepiece. The erect image diagonal allows for right-side-up viewing ideal for terrestrial subjects but can also be used for celestial objects. The finderscope will help you quickly centre an object in your eyepiece for easier observing.
