21045 Powerseeker 114Eq Telescope - Black

Got exactly what i ordered, great as a first telescope need to learn how to use it!

There were missing items

So after watching the ‘how to’ videos on the company website we took it outside for a second go (first time we couldn’t see the moon in front of us haha). We where not disappointed! Really good quality from the basic lenses (hard to use my phone to take a photo). We’re looking to spot the planets next. It can be a bit fiddly and very sensitive to being knocked so kids would need supervision. Other than that it was a solid investment, not too expensive and not terrible that we wouldn’t see anything.

This product is really great . I was able to learn to use it in the first 2 days (thanks to the sellers who helped a lot in the operation of the telescope) . And it was the first time that amazon was not very supportive during the shipping but cannot blame the seller for that as they provided the quality product that they promised . I was able to see Moon , Mars & Jupiter in the first few days and trying for Orion Nebula for sometime now. The product itself is great and I would recommend this to the all the amateurs who want to buy their first telescope . Some people have left negative reviews for eg. that the telescope doesn't work . So, I would like to ensure you that it works perfectly fine once you learn to use it.

Il prodotto è di buona fattura. Per iniziare è ottimo ,servirebbe qualche oculare migliore ,di quelli in dotazione solo quello di 20 mm a mio parere è decente. Per iniziare lo consiglio

Très facile à monter

Very much like this, would highly recommend over others I've tried! First and most important this has awesome image quality in the entire field of view! I saw Jupiter's red bands and 4 of its moons. Also saw the ring around Saturn - just amazing. The craters on our own Moon are a much easier target and also very spectacular. The EQ 127 and most all other models with the short fat ("folded") tubes use a "Bird-Jones" design. Stay away from those! By design they will only ever be "sort of sharp" in one small area of the field of view - impossible to focus! (check out Bird Jones issues on google) Get a long tube like this! The Equitorial mount is of good quality. It can be a bit humbling to learn to use but makes it much easier to track a target once set up. Targets are always moving in (and out of) the field of view due to the motion of all celestial bodies and this will track them precisely with the turn of a single knob opposed to a pan/tilt mount. The eye pieces are adequately good but only 2 are included (plus a barlow). If you like what you see but want better you may consider upgraded eyepieces. They are easy to find in this common 1.25 inch standard size and made a good improvement in my experience. This turned out to be exactly what I wanted: not too big, well priced, powerful and functional. After a few disappointments with others I finally found the right one!
