Celestron PowerSeeker 60 EQ

The Celestron PowerSeeker 60EQ is a reflecting telescope with a 60mm aperture and a focal length of 900mm. It comes with two eyepieces (20mm and 4mm), a 3x Barlow lens, a red dot finder, an equatorial mount, and a tripod.

The 60mm aperture of the PowerSeeker 60EQ allows it to collect more light than smaller telescopes, making it ideal for observing fainter objects such as planets, moons, and stars. The 900mm focal length provides a magnification of 45x with the 20mm eyepiece and 225x with the 4mm eyepiece. The 3x Barlow lens can be used to triple the magnification of either eyepiece, providing even closer views of objects.
