Celestron21087 PowerSeeker 80AZS Telescope, Black

This is an impressive beginner telescope that is a very reasonable price.The telescope is very light and easy to assemble, a decent amount of accessories are included - 3 eyepieces and 2 viewing attachment tubes (Erecting eyepiece and 3x Barlow tube).I've only had the opportunity to use the telescope for its intended moon viewing a handful of times in the months I've had it due to clouds 🙄 thanks, UK... But on the Times I've used it I've been blown away by the details I can see on the moon and for the odd bird viewing from my bedroom when they're on the neighbour's chimney.I've also bought a generic phone adapter for the scope which has allowed me to get some half decent pictures which was just under £5 on eBay. It works great despite making my telescope sag under the extra weight but I adjust the legs to compensate for the rise in the telescope which isn't too difficult and fairly stable.The downside I have found to the cheap scope is that when there's extra weight with my phone adapter or wind, it can wobble a fair bit, not the tripod but the part that connects the scope to the tripod isn't as sturdy as you'd hope. This wobble is also noticeable when using the higher zoom eyepieces as even the slightest breeze with have the view subject bouncing all over the place.With all of that being said, on the days without wind and clouds you'll definitely be impressed with the price and the image quality you get with this refractor scope 👌🏻

was great value for money it is so easy to put together and not to keen on the stand but other then that it is a grate starter for kids

Good product for best beginner telescope and also good to look at moon at night than most star where you won't find much differentOnly draw back is the tripod you get with it is every light .. you have to wait for oscillation to still down

Its a good entry level scope at a reasonable price, not too cheap and flimsy but obviously not as good as some of the more expensive scopes.Pros.Lightweight, can be easily moved between locationsEasy set up, had everything in place within 10 minutesTripod is very lightweightGood quality 25mm and 4mm lensComes with a 3 x Barlow for extra magnificationGood views of the Moon with the 4mm lensCan see equatorial bands of Jupiter when using the 4mm and good viewingConsFinder scope isn't great and after a few nights stargazing you realise how important it is to align your primary scope to the finder. Problem is its very flimsy, slightest adjustment knocks the view completely. Probably worth investing in a better onewhich is good for moving between locations but it can prove difficult to keep focus sometimesBarlow lens isn't great, too much light distortion, probably best used when looking at the moon Jupiter was just a blur. All in all a good starter scope to home your stargazing skills.

Seems pretty good. Never used a telescope before. Bought this for my 4 year old mainly look at the moon. Used my mobile to take a pic with the standard lens. But fiddly to find things as the finder scope and telescope probably need to be better aligned (setup issue). Can a 4 year old set this up? No. Can a 4 year old find anything with this? No. Can a 4 year old look through the eye piece? Yes! Would Sir Patrick Moore have liked this telescope? Probably not. Was it worth £50? Yes totally!!

Well.. I'm gonna try and warn you but your not going to listen either way, but at least I'll try..This became confetti after a few days for me, I mean smithereens confetti... The Barlow lens is not as expected as it can only magnify each lens by 3.. but nothing times by nothing is still nothing... you can literally see the same on this maxed out as you'll see on a £10 monocular.. it's so light weight I advise not to use it outside on the tripod, it'll keep falling over, you'll spend 5 minutes putting it together if you know what your doing.. you'll think you can see uranus, yet you'll barely see the moon.. and when you do eventually get to correct it to the point you can see the moon like I did last night, you'll realise you need a moon filter and a punchbag, followed by the next morning waking up and realising you've wasted your money to turn it into a football. your choice though

I have lost out because the returns policy expired in July 2020 and so can not return it for a refund even though the item is, or should be within its statutory guarantee.

We bought this for our 8 year old Grandson and he absolutely loves it! Well worth every penny we paid. It is sturdy and practical and he and his dad can transfer what they see onto the computer screen and see it extra large! Best present ever and will hold his interest in the Solar System for many years, I'm sure!

Wanted a scope that was quick and light to set up and this fit the bill. The tripod is a good size for this scope but a lawn chair makes it more comfortable viewing. The slow motion control works great for keeping objects in view. The 5x24 finder works ok but added a 6x30 in the spare dovetail on the scope. The 4mm eyepiece is good for the moon only. The 3x barlow won't work with the diagonal so purchased a 2x barlow. The 20mm eyepiece works better then expected. Found many Messier objects and open clusters. Good for easy double stars as well.

OpticsDecent quality optics. The light gathering capacity is average due to 70mm aperture which is in line with the price. With 20mm eyepiece (35x magnification), image is good and sharp. With 4mm eyepiece(175x magnification), image is softer and not bright. Finderscope is good enough with crosshairs. The Barlow Lens I received is pretty much useless. Chromatic Aberration is present but it's very much expected in a refractor in this range.Jupiter's band and moon can be seen. Saturn's rings can be seen. Moon's craters are vividly visible, as evident int he pictures attached.TripodThe tripod itself is good enough for the weight of telescope. The mount is shaky and had lot of free play. The altitude fine adjustment screw mechanism has free play too. But not a deal breaker at this price and casual usage. I put a dry heavy towel over the centre of telescope to dampen out the vibrations.Overall it's a decent telescope for the price. Definitely lets you see so much farther than you could see with a similarly priced binocular. The Light gathering capability ie not great but that's not a problem in daytime terrestrial viewing. If you can worlk around it's shortcomings like poor mount, etc, it's a useful optical instrument.
