Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron 21045 114mm Equatorial PowerSeeker Telescope
Customer Review: I am glad I bought this.
Summary: 5 Stars
I did three years of research before I bought this telescope. I needed some thing suited for a first timer within his budget. I read several reviews about this telescope before I put an order. First couple of days after I received it, it was just a frustraion because using a telescope requires lots of patience and some practice (to be able to see something interesting). Now, me and my family enjoy this very much. Through practice, I can now locate and see moon's craters, saturn's rings and its moon (Titan), and jupiter and its four moons. If you are a first time telescope buyer, this is the best one to start with for less than $100. However, before you buy one, research about sky, constilations, stars, planets, and best time to view them. If your expectation is realistic, buy this. If you want to see Neptune's land scaping, forget about any telescope; just go visit NASA webpage for high resolution pictures.Customer Review: A Nice Astronomical Telescope!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an astronomer on a budget and as I was doing my search, I was advised to buy as much aperture as I can. I decided to get this Powerseeker 114 as it looked like a great value. Because of it's attractive price, I was a bit skeptical. However, when I received the scope, I really liked how much telescope I got, for what I paid. It had everything I needed in a telescope, decent sized aperture, equatorial mount to track celestial movements, 2 eyepieces for low and high magnification and a decent tripod. I certainly got more than I expected. With the 4.5" aperture, I was able to see nice details on the lunar surface, Jupiter and it's moons, Saturn and Mars as well as the Orion nebula. If you are a budding astronomer and you want to get started, you will be happy with this model.Customer Review: An excellent beginning scope.
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this telescope for Christmas and I must say after waiting two nights to use it I am impressed. My first target was M42 Orion's Nebula and the K20 eyepiece gave me a mesmerizing view of this amazing stellar nursery. The mount does have some shakiness to it but, it's nothing that can't be overlooked. I have the updated scope so it came with a metal focuser which is a big plus. The 3x Barlow is okay with the 20 but is useless with the 4 as is the 4mm eyepiece itself. If you are thinking of getting a more expensive scope of this size I recommend getting this and buying a 25mm Plossl eyepiece and a 2x Barlow and possibly a 7.5mm eyepiece (planetary and moon viewing) for the extra money you would spend on a more expensive scope.Customer Review: Fantastic Service and Delivery
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely loved the product. The shipment was sent within a few days of me placing the order. The packaging was almost brand new, and the product arrived intact. The focusing takes getting used to, but overall, it produced awesome pictures that made a 10-year birthday very pleasant (Dad not pretty syched too).Customer Review: not for childs

Este lo compre para ver las estrellas con mi sobrino, esta bien construido y es fácil de armar, pero no es fácil de utilizar, realmente hay que meterse de lleno en la astronomía para aprovecharlo, lo recomiendo para personas interesadas en esta materia que tengan tiempo y paciencia
