Celestron 70 Overview
Celestron’s PowerSeeker 70 60mm f/12 AZ Refractor Telescope is designed to introduce users to astronomy by giving them a complete setup for viewing the moon, planets, meteor showers, and brighter deep sky objects. Outfitted with a 1.25″ rack-and-pinion focuser, it will accept the most popular-sized eyepieces and accessories in addition to the two eyepieces, diagonal, and Barlow lens that comes with it.
The 90° diagonal corrects the image horizontally and vertically to use the scope as a spotter on the land and puts the user’s head in a more comfortable position, especially when the scope is aimed high in the sky. A 3x Barlow lens is included and effectively triples the magnification of any eyepiece used with it for a wider range of observing possibilities. An adjustable height aluminum tripod provides a stable platform for any observations.
Manual Alt-Azimuth telescope
Navigate the sky with a pan 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 70 comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm), erect image diagonal, finderscope, and a barlow lens. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications to view your intended object. The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnifying 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 center an object in your eyepiece for easier observing.
