Celestron 21044 76 mm PowerSeeker Reflector Telescope

Product Information

The Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P has double the aperture of the AstroMaster LT 76AZ with vastly superior light-gathering and resolving power, as well as an easy-to-use tabletop Dobsonian mount, collapsible tube for portability, and quality included accessories. If you live in a place with a brightly lit sky (City) then even simply finding a MUCH darker sky somewhere where there are much smaller populations, will make an ENORMOUS difference to the amount of things you see and how well you see them. And to some extent using Light Pollution filters can help.

What Are Users Of The Celestron AstroMaster 76AZ Saying? Speaking of the diagonal, the Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ comes with one made of plastic and a little unusual. Where most diagonals are angled the one included with the Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ is more of a ball shape with two tubes coming out. It also seems to be much more enclosed than a standard diagonal which should help keep dust, dirt and dew out of it over time. From the minute you unbox the Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ you can tell it is a much better telescope than those cheap department store models. Setup is pretty easy and straight forward consisting of a few thumb screws and requiring no tools.

Also point your scope at "orion" and in the region below "orions belt" (called orions sword), you should be able to see the nebula? With that being said you should still be able to see a decent amount of things once the system is collimated and if you’re able to achieve the 76AZ’s max power.

Only you know how long the 76 will keep you going. (I got 6 weeks out of my 1st scope) Setting up the telescope is a breeze, so you can begin 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. Try looking at a couple of large star clusters like M45 the Seven Sisters star cluster or the Double Cluster between Perseus and Cassiopeia, or even take a look at the "Great Nebula" M42 at the "sword" of Orion and tell us what you think of the views. Don't be disappointed if your view doesn't match the pretty pictures you see in magazines or books at first. Later on, some people get much larger telescopes that can present these Nebulae and clusters MUCH, MUCH brighter and with some interesting colors and much more detail, and cameras can enhance your observing and show you much color and detail as well. We can help you with these things as well.image_1" : "https://img.karkkainen.com/images/e_trim:4/c_pad,f_auto,h_80,q_auto,w_80/v1/tuotekuvat/50234210447/celestron-powerseeker-76az-tahtikaukoputki.jpg"

The Orion SpaceProbe II 76EQ features the same optics and performance as the AstroMaster LT 76AZ but a decent (albeit still not ideal) mount at a slightly lower price too. You have probably noticed that the stars move slowly across the field of view in your "low magnification" 20mm eyepiece, and they will move commensurately faster in higher magnification eyepieces. Some of us buy "Equatorial mounts" for existing "Optical Tube Assemblies" (your telescope tube) to cancel out this apparent motion of the stars so that the object stays centered in the eyepiece even at the highest magnifications.

Product details

All-glass optical components with high transmission coatings for enhanced image brightness and clarity I can allign the finderscope to perfection with the crosshairs dead centre, but then I find myself having to adjust the barrel as I'm looking through the eyepiece. Eyepieces - The 15mm and 9mm eyepieces can be used in any telescope with a 1.25” focuser. Each eyepiece is fully coated to improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 15mm Kellner eyepiece offers a nice medium magnification view in most telescopes, and the 9mm provides high magnifications, great for the Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good. The 8" Dobs are a nice compromise between aperture and price, maybe not as good on planets and globular clusters as SCT but better for big stuff like nebula and open clusters due to the fact they can show a wider field of view.

Then again you’d be hard pressed to find solid optics within this price range anyways. What Do The Celestron AstroMaster 76AZ’s Specifications Mean? ItemLargeImage" : "https://img.karkkainen.com/images/e_trim:4/c_pad,f_auto,h_720,q_auto,w_650/v1/tuotekuvat/50234210447/celestron-powerseeker-76az-tahtikaukoputki.jpg", I am not really a fan of the finder but it serves it’s purpose fairly well. Like all finders, be sure you set it up during the day using a far away object such as the top of a telephone pole, water tower antenna, etc. Once it is adjusted it is acceptable. Of course, no telescope in this price range has a good finder because that would take money away from making the actual telescope better and we do not want that. You can do without a finder, but a terrible quality main telescope will just make the whole thing a waste of money, and the Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ is certainly not a waste. Final thoughtsFilters - Colored filters can be used to bring out certain details on a planet’s surface or its cloud structure. Both planetary filters, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25” eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide it into the focuser. The #80A is a medium-blue filter that enhances the contrast of the cloud belts on Jupiter and the polar ice caps on Saturn. It also can be used to increase contrast on the Moon if you don’t mind the color shift. Saturn and Jupiter are clearly identifiable and a joy to watch, as is the Orion nebula and Andromeda galaxy. From there it is a mixed bag with objects such as the Pleadies being easy to see and pretty spectacular, The Lagoon and Eagle nebulae are quite pleasing but require a bit more effort, while the Ring and Dumbbell nebulae are virtually impossible to get any enjoyment out of with the Celestron Powerseeker 70AZ beyond finding them. Celestron PowerSeeker-sarjan kaukoputket on suunniteltu antamaan ensimmäistä kaukoputkeaan ostavalle täydellisen yhdistelmän laatua, edullisuutta, ominaisuuksia ja tehoa. Edullinen teholuokassaan, nämä kaukoputket tarjovat aloittelijalle innoittavan määrän tehoa ja optista suorituskykyä helposti kuljetettavassa pakkauksessa. So now let’s switch to astronomy; you buy them a great book on astronomy and a cool map showing where some amazing objects are, then you give them a telescope that even when used by a professional could not identify a car across a football field much less the planet Jupiter in the night sky. It wobbles, it’s blurry, and it is extremely hard to navigate. What do you think their reaction would be?
