Celestron PowerSeeker 50AZ Telescope Description

The Celestron PowerSeeker 50AZ Telescope is an excellent choice for both terrestrial and celestial viewing, making it perfect for astronomy enthusiasts on the go. With its 50mm refractor design, this telescope allows you to explore the wonders of the night sky, including planets, the moon, star clusters, and brighter deep-sky objects like the Orion Nebula and the Andromeda Galaxy. During the day, the erect image star diagonal enables you to use the optical tube as a spotting scope, offering a versatile experience for any observer.

Setting up the PowerSeeker 50AZ is incredibly straightforward, allowing you to begin your stargazing adventure in just a few minutes. Even if you're new to astronomy, this telescope's simple design makes assembly a breeze. The adjustable tripod legs enable you to customize the telescope’s height, whether you’re placing it on a picnic table or adjusting it for comfort while stargazing in your backyard.

This manual Alt-Azimuth telescope allows you to navigate the sky effortlessly by moving the telescope up and down, as well as left and right, to track celestial objects in your eyepiece. The PowerSeeker 50AZ comes equipped with a comprehensive accessory kit, including four eyepieces (20mm, 12mm, 4mm, and a 1.5x image erecting eyepiece), a star diagonal, a finderscope, and a 3x Barlow lens. This extensive range of eyepieces provides different magnifications, making it easy to view your intended objects in detail. The Barlow lens triples the magnifying power of each eyepiece, allowing you to dive deeper into your observations.

To enhance your astronomical experience further, the PowerSeeker 50AZ includes access to Celestron’s Starry Night Software. This premier astronomy software package comes complete with a 36,000 object database, printable sky maps, and enhanced images, including 3D renderings of stars, exoplanets, and galaxies. With this software, you can learn about the night sky and plan your next observing session with confidence.

Solar Warning
  • 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.
  • Never use your optic to project an image of the Sun onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the optic and any accessories attached to it.
  • Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
