Celestron PowerSeeker 76AZ Newtonian Telescope

For accessible backyard astronomy with a classic manual setup, the Celestron PowerSeeker 76AZ brings together a Newtonian reflector design, a 76mm aperture, 700mm focal length and an alt-azimuth mount in a portable format. As part of Celestron’s PowerSeeker range, it offers a straightforward introduction to observing the night sky, with all-glass optical components and high-transmission coatings for bright, clear views.

The manual alt-azimuth mount suits both astronomical and terrestrial viewing, while the supplied eyepieces and 3x Barlow lens provide a useful spread of magnifications straight from the outset. A 5x24 finderscope helps with locating subjects, and the aluminium tripod completes the setup with a no-tool accessory tray and eyepiece holder. This model is well suited to beginners looking for a practical first telescope with familiar reflector optics and a manageable size.
