Description

Discover our Solar System with the Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ! You’ll be ready to observe in minutes thanks to the quick and easy no-tool setup. With the free EclipSmart Solar Filter you will be ready to view the Sun and the upcoming 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. In the evening, the 127EQ provides bright, clear images of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more for great nighttime viewing.


Manual German Equatorial telescope

The PowerSeeker mount comes with two slow motion control knobs that allow you to make fine pointing adjustments to the telescope in both Right Ascension and Declination axes, also referred to as RA and DEC.

 

Accessories Included

This kit includes a 20mm and 4mm eyepiece, a finderscope, 3x Barlow lens, and a free EclipSmart solar filter. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications for low and high-powered views.  The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnifying power of each eyepiece.

EclipSmart Solar Filter

The Celestron EclipSmart solar filter is custom designed for the PowerSeeker 127EQ-MD telescopes for viewing the Sun. Two hook and loop straps securely hold the filter in place for a safe, snug fit. EclipSmart solar products feature Solar Safe filter technology—the ultimate protection from harmful solar radiation, including IR and UV light, plus 99.999% of visible light. Celestron Solar Safe filter technology is SAFE for direct observation of the Sun and has been independently tested to conform to and meet the transmission requirements of ISO 12312-2:2015(E), Filters for Direct Observation of the Sun, EN 1836:2005 + A1:2007 (E) for an E15 Filter for the Direct Observation of the Sun and AS/NZS 1338.1:2012, Filters for Eye Protectors.

Important safety note: Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with an optic (unless you have the proper solar filter). Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
