Celestron PowerSeeker 50AZ Star Telescope

The Celestron PowerSeeker 50 is the perfect choice as a first telescope for a beginner.

Getting started with telescopes should be easy and exciting. The strength of the Celestron PowerSeeker series is its straightforward usability, lightweight design and very quick setup. One of the most common obstacles to starting a hobby is the complexity and difficulty of assembling the equipment. The PowerSeeker 50 removes this threshold: even a first-time user can assemble the telescope and its accessories in a few minutes, completely without tools, so you can start observing immediately.

The Celestron PowerSeeker 50 offers the ideal combination of easy portability and high-quality optics. Fully coated glass lenses and a lightweight body make the telescope an easy-to-carry observation tool. The adjustable tripod makes it easy to adjust the height of the telescope to suit the user or to place it securely on an elevated surface, such as a camping table.

The PowerSeeker 50 opens up views of the most fascinating objects in the night sky. Its optics allow you to clearly distinguish the craters and landforms of the Moon and the brightest planets. In addition, thanks to the included swivel accessories, the telescope also works great for terrestrial viewing, so you can study landscapes, nature and birds during the day as accurately as the starry sky at night.

• The 50 mm objective telescope with fully coated glass optics and a lightweight body offers a bright and sharp image.
• Tool-free and quick setup allows you to assemble the device and start observing in a few minutes.
• The manual Alt-Azimuth mount allows the telescope to be easily rotated vertically and horizontally for smooth tracking of targets.
• Comprehensive equipment package included: Four eyepieces (20 mm, 12 mm, 4 mm and 1.5x image-rotating eyepiece), 3x Barlow lens, corner prism and finder scope.
• The adjustable tripod with a convenient accessory tray keeps eyepieces and accessories within easy reach.
• Includes downloadable Starry Night Basic astronomy software with a database of 36,000 celestial objects and printable star maps.

Effortless navigation in the night sky and terrain

The PowerSeeker 50 is equipped with an easy-to-use manual alt-azimuth tripod. The tripod allows the telescope to be moved smoothly up and down and left and right, making it easy to find and track objects in the eyepiece. The included finderscope makes locating and centering objects in the field of view much faster.

Exceptionally comprehensive range of accessories straight out of the box

The telescope comes with everything you need for versatile viewing. Four different eyepieces (20 mm, 12 mm, 4 mm and a 1.5x image-rotating eyepiece) offer a wide range of different magnification levels depending on the object you are viewing. The included 3x Barlow lens triples the magnification power of each eyepiece, bringing an extra dimension to viewing distant details.

The included star diagonal corrects the image, making the telescope a perfect tool for daytime terrestrial observation, while also being naturally suitable for studying celestial objects.

Learn about the universe with Starry Night software

Celestron's Starry Night Basic software guides you through the mysteries of the night sky. With tools to plan your next observing session, interactive star maps, and 3D visualizations of stars, exoplanets, and galaxies from a library of over 36,000 objects, the software makes exploring space and learning about constellations exciting for the whole family.
