The Celestron PowerSeeker 114/900 EQ is the ideal choice for beginning astronomers who want an affordable yet full-featured telescope with a larger mirror
The Celestron PowerSeeker 114/900 EQ is the ideal choice for beginning astronomers who want an affordable yet full-featured telescope with a larger mirror. With a focal length of 900 mm and a mirror diameter of 114 mm, this classic Newtonian reflector offers solid luminosity and sufficient magnification for viewing the Moon, planets and brighter objects in deep space.
The telescope includes an equatorial mount that allows for smooth viewing of objects in the sky as the Earth rotates - a great feature for those who want to learn the basics of astrophotography or just get more comfortable observing.
Main features:
114mm mirror lens - captures enough light to observe details on the Moon, Jupiter's belts, Saturn's rings and some nebulae and galaxies
900mm long focal length - suitable for higher magnification observations
Equatorial mount (EQ) - more accurate viewing of objects, ideal for later development of astronomy knowledge
Easy assembly without tools - clear design suitable for complete beginners
Includes 2 eyepieces and barlow lens - different magnification options right out of the box
What you will see:
Craters and mountains on the Moon
Phases of Venus, belts on Jupiter, rings of Saturn
Brighter star clusters, nebulae like Orion or the Pleiades
In good conditions, even the brightest galaxies (e.g. Andromeda)
