Celestron PowerSeeker 114EQ Telescope

For anyone starting out in astronomy, the Celestron PowerSeeker 114EQ brings together a 114mm Newtonian reflector optical tube, 900mm focal length and a manual German equatorial mount in a straightforward, family-friendly format. It is a beginner telescope with fully coated glass optical components, slow-motion controls for smoother tracking, and a full-height aluminium tripod for stable support.

No-tool setup keeps preparation simple, while the supplied 20mm and 4mm eyepieces, 3x Barlow lens and 5x24 finderscope give a well-rounded starting package. Erect image optics broaden its use for both terrestrial and astronomical viewing, and the included software and app support help extend the experience beyond the telescope itself.

Safety information

Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result. Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it. Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
