This Celestron PowerSeeker 70EQ 21037 telescope's multicoated 3x Barlow lens combines with its 10-165x magnification capability and 5 x 24 finderscope to make it fun and easy to observe terrestrial and astronomical objects in crystal clarity.
- 700mm focal length; f/10 focal ratio: For clarity and precision.
- German equatorial mount and aluminum tripod: Make setting up the telescope a snap, without the need for installation tools. Slow-motion control cables enable fine pointing adjustments for precise positioning.
- 5 x 24 finderscope: Helps highlight the subjects you are viewing.
- 10-165x power magnification: To help bring terrestrial and astronomical objects within view.
- Multicoated 3x Barlow lens: Along with erect image optics delivers improved magnifying power and high light transmission for detailed viewing.
- 70mm diameter: Along with a refractor optical design for improved visibility.
- SkyX First Light Edition software: Features a 10,000-object database, printable sky maps and 75 enhanced images to help you make the most of your stargazing experience.
- No-tool accessory tray with eyepiece holder: Makes it easy to keep telescope peripherals within reach.

Q: i wonder what can we see on space with this telescope
A: From the city, your PowerSeeker 70EQ will reveal craters on the moon, Jupiter's cloud bands and 4 brightest moons, Saturn's rings, bright star clusters and more. From a dark sky location, you will be able to see nebulae, galaxies, globular star clusters and more.
Q: What's a refractive telescope
A: Refract means "to bend." A refractor telescope uses a lens (a combination of two to four polished glass pieces) to bring light to a focus. Placing an eyepiece at the focus point will allow you to see a magnified image of what you are looking at. The PowerSeeker 70EQ is a refractor telescope model. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron
Q: What are the dimensions of the telescope, e.g., length of scope, diameter?
A: Dimensions; Product Weight - 14 pounds Optical Tube Dimension Diameter - 70 millimeters Objective Lens Diameter - 70 millimeters.
Q: Where can I get parts for this unit ?
A: undefined
Q: Can I see the iss with my 70 EQ telescope ?
A: While it is possible to catch a quick glimpse of the ISS, it moves very fast and will be difficult to keep centered in the telescope's field of view.
Q: CAN IT BE USED FOR DAY TIME SEEING
A: Not for day. This piece is waste of money.
