Celestron 21087 Powerseeker 80AZS Telescope, Black

this is good but not what i was thinking you can only watch moon perfectly according to my experience but still i will say this is not bad

PROS: Ligero, transportable, sencillo de montar y manejar. Los materiales parecen bastante robustos. En cuanto a la calidad óptica, el contraste y la luminosidad son excelentes (NOTA: se puede aprovechar la tapa protectora del objetivo para reducir la luminosidad y la consecuente aberración cromática propia de los refractores de corta focal, basta con dejar libre su hueco central destinado a recibir filtros). Con 100X aumentos, Júpiter y sus lunas se ven increíblemente bien y se comienzan a apreciar las franjas. Saturno, impresionante. CONTRAS: Aunque ya me lo esperaba, la Barlow 3X no es una maravilla (entiendo que una buena "fully multi-coated" costaría incluso más que este telescopio) Creo que una 2X de gama media le iría muy bien así que voy a investigarlo. El software de Celestron no acepta dispositivos con Android aunque hay muchas apps interesantes para localizar objetos astronómicos en tiempo real. NOTA: La parte inferior del porta-ocular viene impregnada de grasa lubricante así que el mecanismo de enfoque puede tardar algún tiempo en adaptarse; lo digo porque algunos usuarios parecen apresurarse en devolver el artículo creyendo que falla. Otros no consiguen enfocar la imagen porque sitúan la Barlow entre el codo diagonal y el ocular cuando tiene que ir entre el telescopio y el codo diagonal (viene en las instrucciones online, que hay que leer)

Saw a lot of negative comments but decided to try since the price is not too expensive. It has been a good decision. Maybe those who had negative feedback expected too much from this scope to perform like a 6-12 inch scope? Anyway reason for me to buy this is due to the short local length of 400mm which make it a travel scope category. Other than the tripod, everything including my additional eye piece set can fit nicely into a small gym bag. Can see moon clearly even with the 4mm eye piece. The only useless item probably is the 3x baron scope. In any case for beginner any buyer should still upgrade with an additional eye piece set to see planets and moon better.

This review is my honest attempt to tell folks about a great little scope, before I purchased this scope I had to read the reviews to find out if the scope is any good , bad ,or reviews written by people that are clueless to the cause.i always start out with the one stars, there you weed out the clueless and people that just like to complain and hear themselves fuss, I definitely ignored the folks that said I can’t see a thing, or you can do just as good looking with your bare eyes in your back yard, for these people I recommend finding a life, now will jump to the 3 stars, this group I find have legitimate claims, like maybe the Barlow lens doesn’t work, with this scope it doesn’t work , I for the life of me cannot figure out why they included a 3x Barlow lens with this scope , way to powerful, 2 times would have been better, and now the 5 star reviews sometimes seem to go over board, and that’s what I’m about to do, I bought this for my granddaughter for her birthday which is about two weeks away, yes I opened it to make sure it was not broken and in good working order, I was impressed with its ability with power and sharpness, I liked it so much I bought grand pop one two, thank you grandmom, just an added note I have many scopes in many sizes and styles, so I know enough to get around the hobby, I live in the northeast and it’s February here and cold out under the night skies, took scope out early to cool off and set the finder scope with ease, and waited till Orion what’s high in the southern sky, with two pocket warmers one in each glove started my search for Orion Nebula, useind a 62* 6 mm lens found it with ease, the view was great, small of course but was able to see a,b,c,d, stars with separation and you could def see e and f siting in the background, I was impressed with how sharp and bright the image was, no joke, for. $100.00 scope I’d say money well spent , I started to look for the horse head nebula but my fingers hurt and the cold won out, so now the wait for warmer weather stairing me down like it does most folks , as I said before I have many scopes , many great scopes, this one I just had to have , did I really need it , probably not , want won out , besides it looks good on my wall with all my other smaller group of scopes, so all in all I think it’s worth the buy, as with all scopes ,it’s a must to have good lenses, , could one do better with a different scope , sure you could, and it will cost ya I’m sure , I can say read between the reviews and take the plunge, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all, I don’t receive anything for my reviews just peace of mine knowing I told the truth and give ya my best with my purchase, have fun

Wanted a scope that was quick and light to set up and this fit the bill. The tripod is a good size for this scope but a lawn chair makes it more comfortable viewing. The slow motion control works great for keeping objects in view. The 5x24 finder works ok but added a 6x30 in the spare dovetail on the scope. The 4mm eyepiece is good for the moon only. The 3x barlow won't work with the diagonal so purchased a 2x barlow. The 20mm eyepiece works better then expected. Found many Messier objects and open clusters. Good for easy double stars as well.
