  • Great scope for the beginner and avid user
Size: PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian Style: PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian
The price was great for this scope especially if you are not sure yet if you want to get into this hobby or if you want to give it as a gift. you will hear good things and bad thing about this scope but here is my experience with other scopes and this one. I have had a more expensive scope in the past and quite honestly this one was very comparable to the expensive model. there are plenty of upgrades out there for this scope that will make this scope pretty competitive for the price. the only draw back is the base it is shaky but that can be resolved in two ways either purchase a more stable tripod or base or get some foot stabilizers for it which is cheaper than a new tripod.the other drawback is the finder it is very cheap and yes you will want to replace it. with a better one if your gonna get extremely serious about star gazing. it will give you a general direction in the sky but you must remember the image will be backward to the image from the actual scope and can be frustrating at times. I usually use the hole under the finder scope for a finder and thats just about as accurate if not better. as i said this scope is entry level and highly upgradable. so if you want a great scope you can turn this into one as you are financially able to. but for the price it works rather well. and you are not limited to eye pieces either by brand. as long as the aperture is the same size or you buy the sizing apertures you have endless eye pieces to use by preference or brand. this scope also has a camera mounting point on it so if you want to take pics with your camera you can piggyback mount it on the scope itself. Now if you want to use the optics from the scope itself just purchase the T connector and aperture size for your camera and whala you can use the scope as your camera lense. and you can get some amazing pics with this scope. Plus you should calibrate the mirrors on any scope that is shipped to you or if you travel with it to any location before you use it. Thats where you get the comments that say they got the scope and they have a fuzzy image or it won't focus right. and then they are upset and call it a cheap scope. luckily my mirrors were not too badly aligned and it was a quick fix. if you don't know how to align them take it to a shop or take the time to learn how. plenty of resources online. All in all this is a great scope for the price and i recommend it especially if you're a novice or want to get into the hobby cheaply and easily without the sticker shock and the upgradability is nice. ... show more

  • Great beginner's telescope
Size: PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian Style: PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian
The media could not be loaded. I purchased this telescope on October 2023. This is the first telescope that I've ever owned, and I have used it almost daily for the last 2 months. A lot of reviews online will tell you to avoid this telescope completely due to the Bird Jones design. While there are certainly better beginner level telescopes out there, this one offers great functionality at a very accessible price point. As with any hobby, you WILL have to dedicate a lot of time and patience in order to get better at using the telescope. Do not expect it to work perfectly straight out of the box. Take your time to read through Celestron's telescope guide or any other web page about using the equatorial mount, polar alignment; and most importantly: COLLIMATION. Trust me on this, if you see blurry images with this telescope, it is almost always due to poor collimation. I would recommend buying Celestron's collimation tool (not laser collimator), and then fine tuning the mirrors doing star collimation. Once you do this, images will be crystal clear. A lot of people will also recommend upgrading the eyepieces first, and I would agree with this. I bought Svbony's 40mm Plossl eyepiece,15mm UW eyepiece, and 2x Barlow and the visuals they provide are infinitely better than the stock eyepieces. While the telescope and mount itself are good, the eyepieces it comes with are of pretty low quality. The 20mm one is okay, but the 4mm produces very blurry images. This is because the 4mm produces a 250x magnification with this telescope, which is already pushing its limits (also read about how to calculate magnifications so you can decide which eyepieces to get). The 3x barlow is okay as well when paired with the 20 mm eyepiece. If you dedicate time and love to this telescope, you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I attached a video of the moon, and pictures of the sun (always use a proper solar filter for this), Andromeda galaxy, Saturn, and the Orion Nebula, all taken with my smartphone through this telescope. Bear in mind that smartphone pictures will never look as good as the real image seen with your own eyes. ... show more
