Celestron PowerSeeker telescopes open up the wonders of the universe to
the aspiring astronomer. The PowerSeeker 80AZS is designed to give the
first-time telescope user the perfect combination of quality, value,
features and power.
Amateur astronomy is a great family hobby that can be enjoyed year
round, and Celestron?s PowerSeeker telescopes are the ideal choice for
an affordable and high quality telescope that will provide many hours
of enjoyment.
The PowerSeeker 80AZS is quick and easy to set up, even for the novice,
with no tools required. The sturdy, collapsible alt-azimuth mount is
perfectly suited for terrestrial viewing as well as astronomical use.
No matter when you?re observing, you ?ll get bright, sharp views from
PowerSeeker?s fully coated glass optical components.
PowerSeeker Accessory Kit:
Eyepieces - The 15 mm and 9 mm eyepieces can be used in any
telescope with a 1.25? focuser. Each eyepiece is fully coated to
improve light transmission and protect the optics. The 15 mm
Kellner eyepiece offers a nice medium magnification view in most
telescopes, and the 9 mm provides high magnifications, great for the
Moon and planets, especially when seeing conditions are good.
Filters - Colored filters can be used to bring out certain
details on a planet?s surface or its cloud structure. Both
planetary filters, as well as the Moon filter, can be used on any 1.25?
eyepiece with the proper filter threads, so they are very
versatile. Just screw one onto your eyepiece of choice and slide
it into the focuser. The #80A is a medium-blue filter that enhances the
contrast of the cloud belts on Jupiter and the polar ice caps on
Saturn. It also can be used to increase contrast on the Moon if
you don?t mind the color shift. The #25 filter is a deep red
color and is a good choice when you want to define the polar ice caps
on Mars. It?s also fun to use this filter when observing
Jupiter. The #25 Red filter blocks quite a bit of light coming
through your telescope, however, so it is best used on bright objects
with larger aperture telescopes.
The Moon filter is one of the first accessories most new amateur
astronomers buy, and for good reason! It helps block out a
portion of the light the Moon sends into your eyepiece so that you can
see details better. You can also try this filter on Venus; it helps you
see which phase she?s in.
Cleaning Cloth & Case - Keep the microfiber cleaning
cloth stashed in your PowerSeeker Accessory Kit case so that it will
always be handy. It?s better to use a microfiber cloth on your
optics than wipes or tissue, as it will not leave a residue, and can be
reused. Remember to blow or brush any dust particles off of your
optics before rubbing them with the cloth.
The black plastic carry case has die-cut foam inside to protect and
cushion your accessories. Keep each one in its appointed place
when not in use and you?ll keep them looking and performing like new.
