Q: I'm a first time telescope buyer,I don't have a clue! Advise please!
A: The PowerSeeker 127EQ is a fine beginner's telescope to see celestial objects. Why? Because it features a 5" primary mirror which gathers a lot of light that helps bring out plenty of detail, so you'll have no problem seeing Jupiter's cloud bands and four of its brightest moons, Saturn's magnificent rings, and even Mars' polar ice caps during its close opposition to Earth. Our moon will appear bright and crisp with many craters, mountain ranges and valleys visible. You can also see bright nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, but the darker the sky, the more you will see. If you have any further questions, our product experts in Technical Support are always willing to assist you. They can be reached by emailing them at [email protected]. Good luck on your decision! Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
Q: Is their a smartphone adapter available
A: Yes, Celestron offers a Basic Smartphone Adapter, 1.25" #81035 and also a NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter #81055 which are both compatible with the PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian Reflector Telescope. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
Q: will the view be upside down, or right side up?
A: Using the included 25mm erect image eyepiece with the PowerSeeker 127EQ telescope, the image will be right side up image and corrected right to left. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
Q: What can you see with this telescope and how well can you see it?
A: The PowerSeeker 127EQ's primary mirror gathers plenty of light to reveal countless lunar features including craters, maria, valleys, and mountain ranges. The telescope will also reveal Saturn's rings, Jupiter's four brightest moons, double stars, bright open star clusters, and more. From a dark sky site, you will be able to observe globular clusters, galaxies, and nebulae.
Q: Can you hook a phone/computer up to it to get pictures through the eye?
A: You can attach a smartphone adapter to the PowerSeeker 127EQ telescope's eyepiece to take cell phone photos of the Moon or planets. It can be used for terrestrial photography during the daytime too.
A: The PowerSeeker 127EQ uses an equatorial mount with slow motion control knobs and is not a Dobsonian-style mount which can be manually moved up-down-left-right. The optical tube is 5" and not 10" in aperture.
Q: Is the primary mirror parabolic?
A: The PowerSeeker 127EQ Newtonian Reflector Telescope's primary mirror is spherical and not parabolic.
