Mark Ray's Review of OpticsPlanet Exclusive Celestron PowerSeeker 80EQ Refractor Telescope Package - Telescope 21048 w/ Motor Drive

Celestron makes good products. I have a 9.25 Evolution, 25x100 Binoculars, 22x66 spotting scope, and all perform well. I actually bought this set up just for the tripod and mount. I have a 72mm Evostar that fits just perfect, And being a little lighter it should track better. Tried the 80mm out on the Moon before I switched it out and it gave me nice views of the craters. Long focus travel, crisp focus for a very basic single speed. Gave 4 stars because the tripod is a bit shaky, but I can beef it up. It will work fine for what I want, a light grab and go. T be honest the eye pieces and Barlow aren't worth using. Not an issue, I have a dozen good eye pieces.
Pros:
  • Easy to use, light weight, complete
Cons:
  • Shaky tripod.
Best Used for:
  • Lunar, wide field astrophotography. Visual.
