johnny366's Review of OpticsPlanet Exclusive Celestron PowerSeeker 80EQ Refractor Telescope Package - Telescope 21048 w/ Motor Drive

So far, no problems with the telescope. I use the lower powered 30MM eyepiece because it focuses much easier. I have tried the 3X tube with both lenses supplied with the telescope but find it much harder to focus. I'm sure all telescopes have the same problem, the more magnification, the harder to focus. So far (with protection of dark screen over front of telescope) I've watched mercury cross in front of the sun and looked at sun spot 2546. I've looked at the craters on the moon so close it looked like you could touch it. I've looked at numerous stars and planets including Jupiter with it's 4 moons, and can't wait for Saturn to become visible.
Pros:
  • Easy to set up and use.
Cons:
  • None
