Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Celestron 21045 114mm Equatorial PowerSeeker Telescope
Customer Review: There are better scopes
Summary: 1 Stars
My recent Christmas experience with the Celestron Powerseeker 114EQ, my first "real" telescope, was a great disappointment. The assembled telescope looked very impressive but functioned poorly. It came without a detailed instruction manual making it difficult to set up, balance, and aim even for a mechanically inclined novice. The plastic finderscope was very cheap, blurry, and hard to align with the main scope. The "equatorial" (EQ) mount knobs moved the scope with jerky motions at times and the scope itself seemed a bit vibration prone on its tripod. Stellar images were blurry and unimpressive (possibly due to mirror misalignment in shipping and/or manufacturing defect) thus other individual scopes may do better than mine in this category. Newtonian reflector type telescope mirrors go out of alignment ("collimation") fairly easily and this scope came without instructions for how to realign them. I returned the telescope within the 30 day refund period and am looking for a better quality and sturdier one like the highly praised Orion Skyquest series or possibly the smaller and more portable Edmund Scientific Astroscan.
Customer Review: Seller 'Anacortes Telescope' - Mailed to wrong address, They Don't Care!
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon has documentation that the seller mailed to wrong address, yet the seller says "to bad so sad". Now I'm stuck with a telescope instead of the intended person.
