Celestron PowerSeeker 50AZ Telescope

Easy to set up and straightforward to use, the Celestron PowerSeeker 50AZ is a beginner refractor telescope with a 50mm aperture, 600mm focal length and manual alt-azimuth mount. It brings together fully coated glass optics, erect image optics and slow-motion controls in a format that suits first-time users looking for a practical introduction to both terrestrial observing and planetary observation.

The aluminium tripod includes an accessory tray for keeping eyepieces close to hand, while the supplied 20mm, 12mm and 4mm eyepieces offer 30x, 50x and 150x magnification. A 3x Barlow lens extends the available viewing options further, and the 5x24 finderscope helps with locating subjects. With no-tool setup and a compact 24-inch optical tube, this is a considered choice for families, children and anyone starting out with manual skywatching.
