Do you have a budding astronomer at your home?
Don't rely on charts and hazy skies to see the amazing array of stars, planets, and meteors scattered throughout the galaxy and beyond. Get an up-close view of all that space has to offer with the Celestron PowerSeeker 80EQ, an easy-to-set-up refracting telescope suitable for celestial and terrestrial viewing.
Bring the Wonders of the Sky Down to Earth
The Celestron PowerSeeker 80EQ telescope uses a refractor lens, which provides an unobstructed view, high contrast and good definition. Use the telescope to see planets, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies and other astronomical objects. The pre-assembled tripod mount contains setting circles and slow motion cables to make it easier to locate and track astronomical objects.
Included Software Provides Road Map for the Sky
Included with the telescope is a CD-ROM designed specifically for the amateur astronomer. The Sky? is a cosmic database featuring 10,000 celestial objects, with 75 stunning color images. You can even use your PC to create astronomical events like a total solar eclipse and the phases of the moon. Then print your own custom sky charts to make stargazing even more rewarding.
Upgrade to a Fully Computerized Astronomy Tool
See any of 4000 objects with the press of a button: The fully computerized, hand-controlled Celestron NexStar 130 SLT Telescope accesses any galaxy, cluster, star or planet for your viewing pleasure. (sold seperately)
Warning: Never look at the sun with your telescope or its finderscope. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result, as well as damage to your telescope.
