Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ Telescope with Phone Adapter and RA Motor

Further details

Discover our Solar System with the Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ! You’ll be ready to observe in minutes thanks to the quick and easy no-tool setup. The 127EQ provides bright, clear images of the Moon, planets, star clusters, and more for great nighttime viewing.

German Equatorial telescope
The PowerSeeker mount comes with two slow motion control knobs that allow you to make fine pointing adjustments to the telescope in both Right Ascension and Declination axes, also referred to as RA and DEC.

Accessories Included
Accessories include a 20mm and 10mm eyepiece, a finderscope, a smartphone adapter, and a motor drive. The two eyepieces offer different magnifications for low and high powered views. The 3x Barlow lens triples the magnifying power of each eyepiece.

Smartphone adapter & Motor drive for imaging the sky with your phone
Start astro imaging with the smartphone adapter included with this telescope, the supplied motor drive means this telescope will track objects, an essential for imagiing the night sky.

Motor Drive
Turn your manual German equatorial mount into a tracking mount by adding the included RA motor drive to your telescope. This easy-to-install RA motor drive compensates for the Earth’s rotation, so the telescope tracks a star’s movement through the night sky from east to west. When the telescope mount is properly polar aligned and the RA drive is attached and running, the user need only make occasional adjustments in declination (Dec) to keep an object in the eyepiece for long periods of time. The Celestron single-axis motor drive runs on a 9V battery, so there are no cords to get in the way. The drive can be used in either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. To change hemispheres (reverse the motor’s direction), simply by flip the N/S switch on the face of the motor drive. It is also simple to change the speed of the motor. A “Speed Rate Regulator” knob is located just under the power indicator and can be turned in either direction to slow down or speed up the motor. Since solar system objects like the Moon and planets move through the sky at different rates than deep-sky objects do, this gives you the ability to match the motor’s speed to the particular type of object you are observing.

Smartphone Adapter
Image celestial or terrestrial objects with this smartphone adapter. With its light, rigid frame, this accessory allows you to connect any smartphone to any telescope eyepiece with an outside diameter of 34mm. The additional magnification provided by the eyepiece allows your phone to capture great images of the Moon and planets. This adapter installs easily by placing the smartphone over the telescope eyepiece and tightening the knobs to securely lock your phone in place. The adapter accommodates most phones with the case on, but some large and/or bulky phone cases (including folio style cases) may need to be removed for the phone to fit in the adapter.

Reviews

  Looking forward to great things  Unfortunately, cannot give a proper review yet as purchased item for my son as xmas gift. Using this as a 'start-up' hoping his keenness continues. But must admit, not looking forward to collimation process! Excellent service & prompt delivery. Hopefully will be shopping at Harrisons again in future  (19/12/2021) Paul Miller - Herts

  Can teach you to use a telescope properly.  A first scope needs to be a good experience, to see things such as the moon and Jupiter well enough to spark enthusiasm for astronomy. The EQ mount with setting circles give proper understanding of the tracking and location of objects. Learn basics eg collimnation. A launch pad for greater things  (25/04/2020) RPS - Lancs

  Really pleased  I got the Celestron PowerSeeker 127 around a week ago and so far am very pleased with the product. It’s a well made built telescope which as a package represents great value for money. The service from Harrison Telescopes has been outstanding, full of useful advice, very patient and helpful.  (25/04/2020) M Staniforth - Bristol

  Great starter telescope for absolute beginner  I was looking for a telescope to get me into astronomy and the kind staff at Harrison's recommended this telescope for my budget. Set up was incredibly quick and easy, as advertised, with simple instructions given. The accompanying software from Celestron is also great and very helpful for learning!  (18/04/2020) Jon C - Newcastle upon Tyne

  Excellent service, very happy with product  Bought as a beginners telescope and very pleased with both advice and service. Really good price, arrived very quickly and was exactly what I was looking for. Would certainly recommend Harrison Telescopes.   (11/04/2020) F Munro - Perth

  Incredible service  Ordered telescope on line and in less than 24 hours was delivered to my door. Also the delivery. driver checked with me that as he correctly assumed it was a present for someone that intended recipient would not see what he was delivering. Item securely packaged but have yet to try it   (13/12/2019) Baz - Norfolk

  Excellent product and excellent service  Bought as a present for my son - who is a "telescope learner" - he is absolutely delighted with it and setting up was very straighforward. Great value and service - delivery was prompt and the charge was minimal.   (28/10/2019) -
