Is 127mm aperture good?
Basically, the 127mm aperture allows you to spot distant stars, clusters, planets, satellites, and nebulas with pristine, vivid clarity. This is important with any beginner telescope.
Can you see planets with Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ?
In Celestron Powerseeker 127EQ, we get a 127mm (5 inches) aperture; which is perfect for primary to intermediate use. To put it in perspective, you can observe the lunar surface in great detail and also catch a spectacular glimpse of the nearby planets, nebulas, and galaxies.
What can you see with PowerSeeker 127EQ?
Ideal for near and deep-sky observation, Celestron’s PowerSeeker 127EQ 127mm f/8 Reflector Telescope features a respectable focal length and a large, parabolic mirror that produce detailed images of the Moon, clear views of the planets, and the ability to resolve bright distant objects such as nebulae and galaxies.
What can I see with PowerSeeker 127eq?
The Celestron 127 EQ reflector with 250x magnification can be used for detailed lunar scenes as well as distant objects, like Jupiter, Mars or Venus. At lower magnification levels, it will offer a wide field of view for celestial images like the Lagoon nebula or the Orion nebula.
Should I mark the 127eq’s Mirror?
Looking at page 12 in the instruction manual #21049, they show a diagram that depicts a simple image of what you should see whilst looking down the focuser tube without eyepiece inserted. Unless you want to learn disassembly / re-assembly, having already been down this route, I would not reccommend marking the 127EQ’s mirror.
What is the maximum magnification of a Celestron 127mm telescope?
The Celestron 127mm Newtonian Reflector’s mirror equates to 5 inches, so the effective maximum magnification is 30×5 = 150x (for average seeing conditions) and 50×5=250x (for rare, perfect seeing conditions). Magnification = (Focal Length of Telescope) / (Focal Length of Eyepiece).
How much power do I need for my Telescope?
Even outdoors, seeing conditions would probably dictate the use of powers no more that 200X. Usually anything more, other than in good seeing conditions, will only result in a larger blurry image. Just the 4mm lens alone is enough power for that telescope. No need for the 3x bar low. That is the same telescope I got started on.
How do you use the focuser on a telescope?
Remember that the focuser is not a zoom function. The point of best focus is when the planet is at its smallest. With the telescope pointed at your object turn the focuser wheel so that the size of the circle becomes smaller, not larger.
