Product ReviewsCelestron PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope

Great beginner scope

Took it out for first time last night, had no trouble finding Jupiter and Saturn within minutes, View was great, Tried several of the lenses and they all work good. Sturdy construction and good optics. Had a little trouble with the tracking knobs, but that is just me not being familiar with the scope since it was the first time using it. I would recommend this scope for a beginner, as for some of the negative reviews, I think some people expect to have Hubble type images and are disappointed when that's not the case.

Selestron 127EQ

hello all , the telescope its self seem's ok for a beginner ,but the stand and mount are total rubbish , i had to spend 1 .1/2 hours pulling it apart and ajusting / mod it a bit so it would sort of work ,but i would not buy another one of these ,,,yes i am a beginner but if i wasnt a bit mechanical this mount would not be usable at all ,a grate way to put off a new bee like myself . i did send a email about it but got no reply so far ,,i Recomend doing your home work about this type of mount / telescope . for a few more bucks after realy looking and doing my home work,,, i should have got the ( Dobsonian ) .....good luck all and i hope this helps others . regards Read full review...

The Celestron Powerseeker

Over all the Power seeker is a very good telescope . It needs help from its manufacture such as the most important part. The focuser it is of very poor quality and almost impossible to focus. I do have too say one thing it is built strong. And a snap too set-up!!Read full review...

EQ 127

Not as easy to use as the last one i had but easier to set up harder to keep the spotter scope aligned because of shims to go with the tightening screws. But well worth the money if we could get the planets to show up earlier it would be nice.Read full review...

Bird Jones telescope = waist of money!

Disappointed with image quality. Image can never be sharp due to design, always blurred right through focal point. Google "Bird-Jones" telescope issues before buying. And.. don't waist over $400 on this worthless design. Buy a 76-700 type, proper long tube with a smaller 3 inch mirror but better optics for half the price and get really good quality!

Celestron 127 EQ comes missing many components.

This is a task for an accomplished artist in construction. There is no obvious coherent pattern where a-follows b. Most of the material of the legs and body are marginal at best . They seem to bend and break easily. The lenses have black spots in them. I suspect somehow they detract from the light transmittal quality. There is no motor in the kit though the sales Flyer said there would be one. No motor = no following stars in their nightly movements.Read full review...

It works, but frustrating and time consumming.

This telescope is only satisfactory as a starter telescope, and then, only if you have patience and time. The dilemma is clear: not knowing how interested you or your family will be in using and enjoying a telescope until you try it, one is reluctant to spend the considerable amount of money that is required to purchase a high quality instrument. Any less expensive equipment (under $300-400) is going to be a compromise of some sort. In the case of the Celestron 127, the compromise is in it's clarity of focus and quality of tracking and adjustment mechanisms. They all work, but are clearly inexpensively manufactured. It was said in the reviews I read before this purchase that better optical eyepieces, which can be purchased readily, would be desired. However, the dilemma rules again; should I take the chance on spending more money without the guarantee that the better quality eyepieces will satisfactorily correct the deficiencies? I will be doing more research on this before deciding.Read full review...

Good telescope

I was a little bit skeptical of this telescope because of its price an what was promoting of it capabilities, but I feel satisfy with it. I already has the opportunity to watch Jupiter an its moons, Mars a Saturn and its ring. of course they appears small shape. Using the barlow lens does not help magnification make image distortion on my telescope I already order a set of celestron eyepieces and filters to help in correction of the image of the planet. overall I recommend the telescope.

Great telescope for the price

brand news still in sealed packaging and easy to put together without the instruction, next, read the instructions and put it together the correct way... it was still easy. there is a little more to perfect imaging that needs to be done with all Dobsonian telescopes but straight out of the box this one is great for a novice.
