Celestron PowerSeeker 60 AZ Telescope

Celestron PowerSeeker 60 AZ Telescope

The PowerSeeker 60 AZ is a 60 mm refractor telescope designed for beginners, allowing you to observe the Moon, the planets of the solar system and the brightest deep-sky objects, such as the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy. Thanks to its vertical image diagonal, it is also suitable for field observation, such as birdwatching. Take a look at our other products too astronomical telescopes in our range.

Quick to set up at home and on the go

The telescope can be assembled without tools, so you can take it with you on trips and have it ready for observation in no time. The height of the tripod legs can be adjusted, and the mount can also be placed on a table if necessary. The tripod features a tray for eyepieces and other accessories.

Eyepieces and a Barlow lens for adjusting the magnification

The included 20 mm and 4 mm eyepieces provide 35x and 175x magnification. The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnification of both eyepieces, and the viewfinder tube allows you to first roughly align the telescope with your target. The diagonal mirror rotates the image output by 90 degrees, making the viewing position more comfortable, even when pointing at the sky.
